Resident Evil Village is full of memorable villains, but the one that has stood out in fans' minds is Lady Dimitrescu. The towering villain relentlessly pursues Ethan Winters throughout Castle Dimitrescu along with her bloodthirsty daughters, leading to some of the game's most memorable moments. Considering how popular Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters are, it's no surprise that they have inspired countless cosplays.
One of the more impressive cosplays of Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters was recently shown off by Reddit user Konakona000. In the cosplay, Kona appears as Bella Dimitrescu, while Dryoma_Anastasiya is seen as Cassandra Dimitrescu. Meanwhile, Twitter user pododeyablo is featured dead center as Lady Dimitrescu. Not only do the cosplayers have game-accurate outfits of Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters, but the photo is in a location that looks like it was ripped directly from Resident Evil Village itself.
This cosplay of Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters is almost perfect, but it is missing one of the Dimitrescu daughters. Daniela Dimitrescu is nowhere to be found. Perhaps this is because this image is meant to show the Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters in Resident Evil Village after Ethan's already killed off Daniela.

Even before Resident Evil Village's release, Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters were the subject of cosplay. Capcom's marketing of Resident Evil Village focused heavily on the Castle Dimitrescu section of the game, with the pre-release demos allowing players to explore sections of the castle and encounter the violent family for themselves. And now that the game is out, cosplayers are still taking inspiration from Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters, with far less cosplays being put together based on other characters from the game.
With how much Capcom focused on Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters before release, some Resident Evil Village fans were let down by Dimitrescu's role in the final game. All things considered, Lady Dimitrescu, her daughters, and their castle only make up a small fraction of the Resident Evil Village experience. However, it's possible Capcom will give players some more opportunities to go toe to toe with Dimitrescu and her deadly brood.
Resident Evil Village DLC is in active development, though further information is unavailable at the time of this writing. This DLC could take place after the events of Resident Evil Village, but it could also serve as a prequel that shows some events that happened prior to Ethan's arrival at the titular village. Of course, this is just speculation at this time, and until Capcom decides to reveal more information on its plans for Resident Evil Village's DLC, speculating is really all fans can do. There should be plenty more Resident Evil Village cosplays to check out in the meantime, at least.
Resident Evil Village is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
