Alice Delish, to put it plainly, is a master of illusion—and for her audience of over a million, each post is a ticket to another world. Whether she’s conjuring the smart-mouthed redhead Daphne from Scooby-Doo or slipping into the guise of a chilling Freddy Krueger for Halloween, Alice knows exactly how to keep her fans guessing and coming back for more. She’s part artist, part performer, and her stage just happens to be Instagram, where her knack for crafting surreal, character-based fantasy has turned her into one of the platform’s most watched cosplayers. But Alice isn’t just showing off her costumes; she’s creating tiny, magical windows into different worlds, each with a touch of her playful charm.
Born on May 3, 2002, Alice came of age at a time when cosplaying had gone from being a fringe interest to a full-blown cultural movement. And it wasn’t long before she found her place within it. By April 2020, she had launched her Instagram, filling it with portraits that showed her skill with costumes, makeup, and every illusion in between. While many might stumble upon cosplay, Alice seems to have been born to embody it. Each character she becomes feels as if it were meant to be part of her, and her followers, no strangers to the world of cosplay, know this is no small feat. Yet she makes it look effortless, as if she’s simply sliding in and out of different personalities.
From her Russian roots, she brings a perspective to her work that’s both slyly romantic and playfully ominous. She loves to choose characters with complex backstories or contrasting quirks—those who dance on the line between innocence and edge. Her fans saw her unique approach firsthand when she dressed as Freddy Krueger, the knife-fingered villain from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Far from a typical Halloween getup, Alice reimagined Freddy in a way that was both haunting and oddly glamorous, showing her love for characters who have both darkness and style. By merging horror and charm, she gave her fans something memorable and truly unique, proving that her interest in a character goes deeper than just the costume.
Alice’s talent isn’t limited to frightful characters; she’s just as convincing slipping into the flirtatious, all-American girl vibe of Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo. With a wink and a flick of her ginger wig, she brings the character’s sass and mystery to life, her knowing expression teasing the camera and, by extension, her audience. But she’s careful to make Daphne her own, adding little quirks and modern twists that remind viewers why cosplay has become such a personal, artistic expression for so many.
If there’s one thing her followers adore, it’s her attention to detail. For Alice, the costume is just the beginning. Every hair, every detail, every nuance of her expressions shows a dedication to her craft that few can match. Her fans often mention that it’s as if she doesn’t just wear the costume but embodies it fully, with each post capturing something unmistakably authentic. It’s no wonder, then, that her character-based fantasy work has managed to stand out even in the crowded and competitive world of Instagram cosplay.
Alice is no stranger to anime, either, and she often dips into the genre, thrilling fans of shows like Darling in the Franxx. When she dressed as Zero Two, the enigmatic girl with pink hair and a dark past, she made sure the outfit was perfect, but she didn’t stop there. Her gaze, her posture, even the slightest tilt of her head, all seemed to echo the character’s complex mix of innocence and power. It’s this extra layer that Alice adds—the one that goes beyond just the fabric and makeup—that has people coming back to see who she’ll transform into next.
Her work isn’t limited to larger-than-life fantasy; she shares moments that give her fans a glimpse of her day-to-day. Her cat, for instance, makes regular appearances in her Instagram highlights, lounging or pawing curiously at her cosplay creations. These simple posts let her followers see her off stage, where Alice is more than the characters she portrays. Her fans know that there’s a part of her that’s simply Alice—playful, down-to-earth, and in love with her craft.
While Alice Delish may appear young to have such an established following, it’s clear she’s earned her place in the cosplay community. Her characters are chosen with care, her portrayals are meticulous, and her attitude, at its core, is that of someone who simply loves what she’s doing. In a world that can sometimes feel disposable and fleeting, she manages to bring a level of quality and dedication that’s refreshing, giving her fans work that’s worth looking at twice—or, in some cases, a thousand times.
Her followers aren’t just admirers; they’re part of a community that she’s built with her charm, talent, and imaginative creations. For them, her next post isn’t just another photo on their feed—it’s a door into another story, another adventure. And as she continues to evolve her craft, there’s little doubt that her fans will follow her, curious to see which worlds she’ll bring them to next.
