The Fifth Element Cosplay Competition

Luc Besson’s 1997 sci-fi about an apocalypse thwarted by a taxi driver turns 30 next year, but the futuristic costumery isn’t yet outdated. Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier was hired for the film, eventually creating about a thousand looks – plenty of options to choose from for this competition with cash prizes to be won! Will it be Bruce Willis’ Korben Dallas with one of his action star getups (classic), Milla Jovovich’s Leeloo with her mummy-inspired frock (daring!), or perhaps Maïwenn’s Diva, whose bright blue tentacles would certainly be a showstopper? Put on your thinking caps and channel Gaultier as you create the winning look. – Kat McNevins
