Ariel, The Little Mermaid — Best of Cosplay Collection

Ariel from The Little Mermaid is the most beloved of all the Disney princesses by GeekTyrant readers (I've got data). She was an obvious choice for this week's Best of Cosplay.

Because Ariel goes through a great physical transformation and wears several different dresses, narrowing down so much good cosplay to just 30 was a real challenge.

The cosplayers wearing the mermaid tail both near and underwater are the most impressive due to the difficulty of the photo shoots and possibility of drowning.

If you've got good cosplay or think I missed something, send it our way.
