Boa Hancock is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful and fabulous women in Eiichiro Oda's fantastic pirate manga One Piece. Simultaneously statuesque and curvy, she is a fan-favorite character and has represented some of Oda's wildest impulses in the character design of his famous women across the franchise. She is determined to be the Queen of the eventual King of the Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy. There is a lot to love about her.
Naturally, she is widely cosplayed by professional and amateur cosplayers alike. A great many of the looks aim for her Amazon Lily attire because of how iconic it is, but sometimes other looks pop up as well. So here are ten of the best Boa Hancock cosplays we can find online.
10 CharmieSweets
One of the best parts about cosplay and the convention scene is how many takes you can find of a single character. It can lead to some very fun shoots, such as this one by MrJoshBox of one Boa Hancock and a whole many Monkey D. Luffy suitors. The cosplay for Boa is CharmieSweets. It's a hilarious shoot and one can imagine Boa swooning while three Luffys are asking her for more food.

9 Shana Mostella
This cosplay is one of the few that goes as far as including Boa's faithful companion, the snake Salome. It's a well-assembled costume worn by a woman showing the confident attitude one would expect from Boa Hancock, one of the strongest pirates on the Grand Line. It is also so great to see cosplayers of color tackling whatever characters they wish and doing them with attitude.
You can follow Shana Mostella on Twitter and Twitch.
8 Giulietta Zawadzki
Cosplayer, artist, and streamer Giuliette Zawadzki, also known as Beaupeep Cosplay, goes with one of the most iconic outfits of Boa Hancock with the outfit from the character's introductory arc on Amazon Lily. Giuliette does a wide variety of cosplay from the world of comics, manga, and video games. Her Boa Hanock cosplay is particularly on point, right down to those iconic snake earrings.
You can follow all the great cosplay on Giuliette's Twitter account. You can also go to her website to see her great artwork as well.
7 baitelephone
Cosplayer and Twitch partner "baitelephone" has done a number of great cosplay looks but her take on Boa Hancock is certainly fitting the character! She tweeted a fun comparison of her Boa Hancock cosplay alongside her cosplay of Sylvanas Windrunner and she completely nails both. The costume work is spot on, and we even get a sense of Boa's superior attitude manifest in the pose. Great stuff.
To see more of her great cosplay you can follow her on Twitter, or you can check out her Twitch streams!
6 Chikako
This cosplayer out of Germany upgraded her cosplay for a convention and placed very well in the competition. The costume is absolutely great, and the addition of the Marine coat as a cape is a nice touch. What is most fun though is her tweet of a photo she is in with the German voice cast of One Piece. Apparently, they really liked her cosplay as well, so that's definitely an impressive moment for a cosplayer.

5 Shine Ng
This well-done cosplay was shot by Fritz Fusion on DeviantArt. The cosplayer is Shine Ng out of Malaysia and she has the right look and attitude for Boa Hancock. This is especially true thanks to a good location shoot that totally fits the world of One Piece really well. The confidence of Boa as a pirate totally comes across with Shine's beckoning pose.
If you want to follow all of Shine's cosplay work, you can follow her on Instagram.
4 Vampy
Cosplayer Vampy delivers one of the more original choices of an outfit in this list with an outfit that while not quite from the anime definitely evokes it. Vampy's Boa is all dressed up for a potential wedding, perhaps with a certain stretchy-pirate? The hairstyle and the retaining of those snake earrings go a long way in making for a Boa cosplay that presents a more elaborate take on a classic look.
Vampy, of course, can be found on Twitter and Twitch. Keep an eye out for a recent Nico Robin cosplay as well!
3 KaoriEtoile
KaoriEtoile gets bonus points for absolutely mastering that fantastic, disdainful pose Boa uses to look down on those she considers beneath her. This is a very specific joke that may not land for a lot of casual viewers. But in this very well done cosplay shoot by a very talented cosplayer from Singapore we see a great reference play out.
KaoriEtoile can be found on DeviantArt with a huge gallery of cosplay photos on display.
2 Bellatrix Aiden
Ukranian cosplayer Bellatrix Aiden hits us with an amazingly moody cosplay photo featuring a rather serious Boa in a darkened chamber, not unlike some ancient pirate fortress. Boa is known for her particularly leggy form of martial arts, so Bellatrix Aiden's posing here is spot on for the character.
If you think this cosplay is amazing, you can find more of Bellatrix Aiden's great cosplay work on her official page at OtakuMode.
1 Natsume0v0
Natumeovo, who can be found on Twitter, unleashes a special cosplay that features a fun prop... the Gum-Gum Fruit! It looks to be on location at one of several One Piece attractions in Japan, so the setting, costume, and props all work in conjunction for one particularly great cosplay of one of the most powerful of the Shichibukai. Very well done! She has a whole gallery of great cosplay works on her Twitter account well worth looking at.
