By that I mean this clever cosplayer is both Belle and the Beast from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. David Ngo, a professional cosplay photographer (yes, this awesome job exists) snapped this shot at Katsucon, an annual fan convention in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
Ngo describes this as a Rule 63 costume. I think that means switching the gender of a cosplayed character. I am hesitant to argue with a man who does cosplay photography for a living, but I think this is actually a combination of both characters.
