If Luke Skywalker was the center of the Star Wars galaxy, then Rey — his apprentice — has taken her place in the center of the orbit. The similarities between the two characters aren’t coincidental. Both outliers, they make their ways through the saga to become the central focus of their respective stories. Rey is clearly the leader for a new generation of Star Wars fans. First revealed in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rey once again led the Resistance in the latest chapter of the Star Wars franchise in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
UPDATE: This list was updated April 3, 2018.
It’s in large part because of Rey’s importance in the Resistance that cosplayers go full Rey with frequency. (It doesn’t hurt that the actress Daisy Ridley gives such a great performance and is such a…well…just plain nice person in real life.)
Rey Cosplay
The options for Rey costumes are, surprisingly, somewhat thin. We’ve narrowed this list to five: three for adults and two for kids, and they’re presented to represent the options from each movie that features Rey. The main difference between the costume look from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi is, largely, the darker shading, and more grey, in the Episode VIII (Jedi) gear. As more are added — and they very likely will be as we approach Halloween — we’ll be updating this list.
Other Star Wars Cosplay Costumes
Besides Rey, there are some other Star Wars cosplay costumes that are very popular. Take a look at this list of the Top 10 Best ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Cosplay Costumes and for those of you looking for something a bit more sinister (no spoiler alerts here), peep our list of the Top 5 Best Kylo Ren Cosplay Costumes.
Rey Out of Her Costume
For a little bit of fun, take a look at this behind-the-scenes video featuring the hard work that Daisy Ridley — and her co-stars — put into preparing for the physical aspects of their roles.

5. CG Women’s Rey Fancy Cosplay Costume
CG Costume
This is the only Rey cosplay costume of the list that is not made by Rubie’s. This one is elevated a bit, in that it uses better materials and is possibly even better suited to cosplay than the other options. This one includes the shirt, pants, bag, belt (2), cuff and two oversleeves. The materials are cotton and leather. One of the reviewers talked about the high quality, calling it “One of the best quality costumes ever…cannot compare to any of the other brands being sold online.”
