Dallas Liu in costume as Prince Zuko for the Netflix adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender
If there’s one thing that makes for a good cosplay, it's an iconic character, and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender definitely fits that description. The best characters for cosplay are immediately recognizable by a few key features that can then be reimagined according to each cosplayer’s artistry.
Posts It should be no surprise then that filmmaker Eugene Lee Yang’s recreation of this particular Zuko look was very much appreciated by the fandom when he unveiled it ahead of Halloween 2020, following Yang’s own long-established tradition of incredibly accurate Halloween costumes. The photoshopped flames also add another nice touch of realism in trying to bring bending to life, making viewers feel like a real part of the story.

Like most characters hailing from the Fire Nation, Zuko is most often seen wearing red. He also briefly wears green while in hiding in the Earth Kingdom.

Studying the bending forms becomes as central to the cosplay as the clothes themselves. That is because each element in Avatar: The Last Airbender has its unique movements that are designed to be both recognizable and evocative of said element.

Additionally, the gold details on the cosplayer’s fingers and nails pull inspiration from the gold detailing used in most Fire Nation clothing to great effect. The Moon and Ocean Spirits lapel pins are also a nice callback to the moment Zuko’s reached his first major turning point during the season finale of Book One.

The mother of Zuko’s daughter and successor Izumi, the Fire Lord in A:TLA’s sequel The Legend of Korra, has not yet been revealed. Still, Zuko and Mai are together by the time the series reaches its final episodes.
