Whether you’ve played the originalFinal Fantasy 7on PlayStation 1,or the newerFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeversion that just released for PlayStation 4, one of the most memorable parts of the game is where Cloud has to cross-dress as part of his plan to get close to Don Corneo, the crime lord.

Players must collect various items of clothing in order to be chosen as the best-dressed girl, withRemakeoffering various outfits depending on how many of theclothes-collecting side-questsyou have completed. This part of the game has naturally become a fan-favorite scene and Wall Market Cloud cosplays have become more and more popular with players.
10xpetitsbisous
This Wall Market cosplay of Cloud byxpetitsbisoushas Cloud looking as though he’s ready for a fight, complete with buster sword, and his clothing isn’t going to stop him. Don Corneo better watch himself when this girl is around.
The delicate crown is a stark contrast to the whopping great big sword in the same way that Cloud’s boots don’t match up with the frill-edged dress; these disparities sum up Cloud’s awkwardness about cross-dressing quite nicely.
9Kismet Cosplay
Kismet Cosplay has managed to recreate Cloud’s iconic purple dress look, paying extra attention to the small details such as the green brooch and plain stud earrings. The hair is perfectly coifed to replicate Cloud’s do, and they’ve also managed to reproduce the rather garish make-up too. This cosplay gets an extra glam look by using a velvet-like dress.
However, this picture appears to be giving off some Lady Tremaine-vibes (the evil stepmother fromCinderella), perhaps because of Cloud’s rather displeased expression.
8SerinuCeli
This picture ofSerinuCeli’s cosplay as a cross-dressing Cloud is perfect. You can see more of their Cloud cosplay photos over on theirDeviant Artpage, but this image was particularly worth sharing as a friend of SerinuCeli donned the costume of Don Corneo (pun intended) and together they really captured the two characters well.

This Cloud cosplay sports hair bunches rather than the pigtails that most cosplayers opt to use for this character costume, but it still works nonetheless.
7VikkiKafei
This Wall Market cosplay of Cloud by Vikki Kafei presents fans with a fresh-faced, more innocent-looking Cloud as he rocks his classic purple dress. The great thing about this cosplay is how the hairstyle is less like Cloud’s clunky style from the original game and instead looks more realistic and natural.
This is also another cosplay that went for a recreation of Miss Cloud’s make-up, complete with bright blush on the cheeks. Somehow it works kind of well here, despite the fact is should be overly-obvious.
6Sekishinkou
Sekishinkou has opted to re-create the iconic purple dress from the original PlayStation version ofFinal Fantasy 7, channeling the classic look ofCloud Strifein his well-known cross-dressing outfit. This photo has been edited byansenphotosto give it that extra bit of glamour and really capture Cloud’s feminine side.
Sekishinkou is also no stranger to cosplaying as Cloud in his regular SOLDIER uniform, as well as Zack Fair fromFinal Fantasy 7, andFinal Fantasy8’s protagonist, Squall Leonheart, among many other characters.
5Aku Sesu
This picture ofAku Sesuand their friend Haku cosplaying as Wall Market Cloud withAerithexudes such a mood that it’s hard not to fall in love with it. Cloud is wearing the typical purple dress; complete with red hair ribbons to perfect the more girly look needed to convince Don Corneo.
Despite Cloud’s awkwardness with the situation in-game, this portrayal of Cloud seems pretty comfortable with the look, and Aerith doesn’t seem to mind at all as they share a close moment.
4Gekroent
Gekroent is a cosplayer that decided to go for a more modern Cloud Strife look and opted for one of the more elegant cross-dressing outfits fromFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. This dress gives cloud a more gothic vibe and Gekroent manages to pull off a very refined look for the fan-favorite character.

The dress isn’t an exact match to the game with the detailed bodice in the cosplay varying from the plainer bodice used in the game, additionally, the black hairpiece is missing, but this is still an outstanding cosplay.
3Saschers
Saschers’cosplay of Miss Cloud is spot on, taking the visual style of the original PlayStation game with the classic purple dress, which is still available inRemake,but there it is classed as the plain dress. This is hardly surprising when you see how lavish the more elegant dress options are.
Though we get to see a more feminine version of Cloud with this cosplay, Saschers manages to maintain that “ready to fight at any moment” look by pairing the dress with Cloud’s buster sword.
2Ardella Cosplay
Ardella Cosplay did an amazingFinal Fantasy 7Wall Market photoshoot and it’s hard not to fall in love with it. Ardella’s portfolio is full of images from the shoot as some of them are downright adorable.
The attention to detail is great, with the crown adorning Cloud’s spikey hair making this outfit absolutely perfect. Cloud was cosplayed by Wes Johnson,Aerithwas Ardella (Sarah Quillian) herself, Tifa is Manzi DeYoung and photography was done by Eric Ng.
1Ovsyan
This cross-dressing Cloud Strife cosplay by Ovsyan is absolutely breath-taking, bringing to life the fan-favorite character in all his elegant dress goodness. Not only does this cosplay manage to replicate one of the new dress options fromFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeperfectly, but Ovsyan also captures Cloud’s expression in portraying his reluctance to wear the dress.
This cosplay dress was made byDuckCosplayand the photographer for these images isjkyle_ph. Ovsyan is a very talented cosplayer who has stepped into the shoes of many characters, including also cosplaying as Cloud Strife in his SOLDIER uniform.
