Cosplay is the unique practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, TV series or video game. Even when different people are cosplaying the same character, they are all unique in their presentation. This magnificent art allows every person to bring out their own unique style and creativity in front of endearing fans of the franchise.

With the ensuing pandemic, Conventions are rare to come by but even so, online cosplays can shine just as much with the right photographer *Hint*. So, we will be looking at some great Cosplay ideas that would really look stunning for outdoor shoots. This includes cosplays that look very natural, one-with-nature. Mainly green color-themed, plant or flower-themed, earthy feeling and would look astounding in a field of flowers. Let’s check out are our top ten picks!
Poison Ivy from DC
Poison Ivy originated from DC comics and has always been a popular cosplay choice. Being one of Batman’s long-running foes, she is as beautiful as she is attuned to nature and plants. With the above purchasable Poison Ivy costume, you will have almost everything you need to pull off a mesmerizing outdoor cosplay shoot. Simply get yourself a green pair of heels, a long red wig, and a matching masquerade mask and step out onto a lush grass field. Flowers? Even better!
Link from Legend Of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda is an undying classic. Fans love it even now and the series Protagonist Link looks right at home amidst the wilderness. Armed with the above Link costume, all you need to secure are props to cover for his Shield and Sword. Feel free to replace these weapons with his iconic Bow and Arrow. Whichever suits your fancy, crafting capability and limitations; Link will breathe alongside mother nature in this dashing cosplay!
Robin Hood
Good ol’ Robin Hood, we have all seen him portrayed in some form of media since childhood. As an undying classic, this legendary heroic outlaw from English folklore is a highly skilled archer and swordsman. He would dash across the wilderness with only justice in mind. All you need to complete this signature look after getting the costume from the above link are props to portray his iconic Bow, Quiver, and Arrows. These are easily craftable and fans wouldn’t be able to tell the difference when you’re aiming your arrows from behind a sturdy tree.
Skye from Valorant
Valorant released in June 2020 and until now many new Agents were introduced into the game. One of them is the Australian Skye. Skye is a Radiant (superpowered human) capable of breathing life into her hand-carved wood sculptures. She is one with nature, healing, and dazzling friend and foe alike with her plant and animal-based powers. No other Agent would look as badass as her amidst a lush green canopy! Skye is as fearsome as she is gentle, with her real powers still untapped.
Gaara from Naruto
Gaara was originally introduced as an Antagonist, but overtime he developed into a selfless hero. Hailing from the Village Hidden in the Sand, all of Gaara’s powers are based on Sand and its effective manipulation. Gaara is shown to be able to control vast amounts of sand to manifest all sorts of structures. Gaara would indeed look best amidst muddy earth and sand, rather than greenery. These aren’t hard to come by and your cosplay would only bring out the best in the environment while also showcasing this badass character.
Diane from The Seven Deadly Sins
Diane is the Serpent’s Sin of Envy of the Seven Deadly Sins. She is a Giant armed with the War Hammer Gideon. Her inherent power is Creation which has a deep connection with nature and enables Diane to manipulate the earth itself. Diane would look just as great in an earthy backdrop as a green one. Though we recommend a more Earthy-looking spot, as it would really add to the nature of her powers. Her getup is simple and even your own hair would work on her. Simply secure yourself a nice pair of boots and craft yourself the hammer, then you’re all set!
Tsuyu Asui from My Hero Academia
Asui, hero name Froppy, is one of the most iconic characters of Boku no Hero Academia. She is studying in U.A. to someday become a Hero, armed with her Quirk “Frog”. As her Quirk name suggests, she shows many Frog-like characteristics and abilities, all while being incredibly cute. With the below costume, all you need is a matching dark green wig and some facepaint/makeup to complete this cosplay. Rather than lush greenery, Froppy would look best near a pond-like area with aquatic plants. She is a Frog after all, and a really neat one at that.
Sir Crocodile from One Piece
Sir Crocodile was a former president of Baroque Work and a former Warlord to boot. A former villain defeated by Monkey D. Luffy, his Devil Fruit is the Sand-Sand Fruit. It allows him to create, control and transform into sand at will, turning him into a Sand Human. He too, would look best amidst a sandy backdrop. A murky dark earth area works too. With this costume, all you would need is a golden hook, the right makeup, and some rings and black shoes. Your own hair can work on this guy to bring out his full badass look.
Lillia from League of Legends
LoL is one of the most popular multiplayer online battle arena games out there. Among its many Champions, Lillia is one of the most nature-bound. This fae fawn often wanders about forests. With a magical branch in hand, she hopes to soon bloom while utilising her nature-based powers. This cosplay is no walk in the park, as her lower body is that of a deer but once it’s done, it’s a cosplay like no other. This purchasable costume will definitely make getting into the look a lot easier! Craft your weapon and do the right makeup to forge a stunning cosplay amidst fields of flowers and green!
Toph Beifong from Avatar
Avatar the Last Airbender aired way back in 2005 but its popularity has not gone down a pinch over the years. Fans love to rewatch this American series which utilizes many tropes from Japanese anime. Toph is Aang’s EarthBending teacher, first appearing in Book 2. Despite being blind, she is shown to be the most powerful Earthbender who is one with the Earth, seeing via vibrations in the Earth. The epitome of badassery, Toph is one of the most Earthy cosplay out there! She would look best amidst mud and soil, with dust as her makeup. This cosplay set comes with everything you need to pull off her classic look, just get the right contacts and it will be flawless!
