Since the release of the Black Butler anime in October of 2008, Earl Ciel Phantomhive has been a focus for many cosplayers. They find inspiration in both the manga and the anime. Whether dressed in the suave suit, the beautiful Lolita dress, or even in another country’s outfit, Ciel cosplayers go all out on their costumes. Perhaps you too can draw some inspiration from these top 20 Ciel cosplays that transcend both gender and realms.
20 – Lady Ciel
Cosplay by Akemi Yukimura
Despite her hat being tipped to the wrong side, Akemi gets the look of pretty in pink Lady Ciel down well. Even her facial expression shows how much she ‘hates’ the dress.
19 – Ghetto Ciel
Junnana looks pretty inviting as she poses for the camera. Decked out in lace and stripes, the self-titled ‘Ghetto Ciel’ is a sight to see.
18 – Butler Service

With Sebastian waiting on her hand and foot, Lishrayder has no problem looking her best in this Ciel costume. Let’s join him for some tea and candy.
17 – Ciel in Wonderland

This version of Ciel has fallen down the rabbit hole and wound up in front of the camera. I bet Tako Chan is glad to have that key on him.
16 – Ciel in India

Cosplay by Kuromito
In the manga, Ciel is quite the traveler. Kuromito, however, did not have to go quite so far to come up with a great India-inspired outfit.
15 – Demon Ciel

Casually sitting in a barren field sniffing the last black rose, Tokyotitan looks lovely in black lace. Who knew a demon could look so charming?

Tinyasuo pauses on a wall in Ciel’s red suit to give Sebastian another command. Hmm, I wonder what’s on her mind.
