Browse through all of the Devil May Cry character costumes and cosplay guides. Capcom’s demon-hunting action series began in 2001 and follows Dante, a half-demon mercenary who runs a paranormal agency called Devil May Cry. You can dress as Dante in his long red coat and fingerless gloves, Vergil in his blue coat with the Yamato katana, Nero with his Devil Breaker arm, or Nico Goldstein in her denim overalls. The sword and jacket props do most of the work here. Every guide below breaks its kit down piece by piece, so you can build the look for Halloween or a convention.
Dante is Devil May Cry’s half-demon protagonist, and his look is built around one statement piece: the coat. The kit pairs a Dante jacket and grey jeans with a simple grey tank top, then adds the details that sell the character, from the fingerless gloves and pendant necklace to the black boots. A toy gun and a toy sword stand in for Ebony & Ivory and Rebellion, so you get the silhouette without spending on real steel. Every piece is linked below, and the costume reads instantly at a con.
Vergil is Dante’s twin brother and the series’ cold rival, defined by his blue coat, slicked white hair and the Yamato katana. A ready-made Vergil costume covers the coat and the blue-and-silver detailing, while a white hair wig captures his swept-back style and fingerless gloves and black boots finish the silhouette. The katana sword prop is the centrepiece, so pick a sturdy one that photographs well. Every piece is linked below, making Vergil one of the most cost-effective characters.
Devil May Cry cosplay is coat-driven: Dante’s red and Vergil’s blue do most of the recognition work, so start with the jacket and build outward. Add a white wig, fingerless gloves, boots and a weapon prop, and the character reads immediately. Nico Goldstein is the outlier, leaning on denim overalls, round glasses and a blonde ponytail rather than a coat. Because each hunter has one strong colour and a signature weapon, the costumes are simple to assemble and forgiving for beginners. Pick a character below and follow the guide’s item list.
Everything you need to know about building a Devil May Cry costume, from Dante’s red coat to Vergil’s katana and Nero’s Devil Breaker arm.
A long red coat or ready-made Dante jacket, a grey tank top, grey jeans and fingerless gloves cover the core look. Add a pendant necklace, black boots and a sword or gun prop to complete the demon hunter.
Dante wears a red coat with an open shirt and a scruffy look, while Vergil wears a blue coat with a high collar, slicked white hair and the Yamato katana. Colour and the weapon are the main tells.
Vergil’s signature weapon is the katana Yamato, so a katana sword prop is the centrepiece of the costume. It is what makes the look read instantly.
Yes. Dante, Vergil and Nero are all defined by white hair, so a white or silver wig is the single biggest upgrade. A slicked-back style suits Vergil while Dante’s is looser.
Nero’s Devil May Cry 5 look is a blue jacket with red lining, a grey tee, fingerless gloves and the mechanical Devil Breaker arm. A short white wig and a Blue Rose revolver prop finish it.
Yes. Nico is one of the easier Devil May Cry characters, built from denim overalls, a white crop top, round glasses and a blonde ponytail. A fake cigarette and temporary tattoos finish the look.
A Devil May Cry costume works well for Halloween and comic conventions, and the long coats are comfortable for a full evening. Add a toy sword or gun if the venue allows props.
Dante is red, Vergil is blue, Nero is blue with red lining, and Nico is denim blue and white. Matching the character’s signature colour is the fastest way to be recognisable.
Yes. Dante, Vergil, Nero and Nico cover four distinct silhouettes and colours, so a group can dress the whole cast, with Dante and Vergil as the strongest pairing.
