Aries Khaos is a dynamic creative force who blends the boldness of drag with the imagination of cosplay. With over 15 years of cosplay experience and five years commanding the drag stage, Aries is a master of transformation – whether stepping out as She-Hulk, Mystique, or their fiery red drag persona. Their artistic expression is rooted in makeup and body paint, bringing characters to life in breathtaking colour and detail.

Walking the line between two vibrant but distinct communities hasn’t always been easy. As a makeup-based cosplayer and a woman drag queen, Aries has at times felt like an outsider in both spaces – but instead of shying away, she’s carved out her own lane. The skills and confidence she honed through drag helped elevate her cosplay, and her passion for characters helped her find her place in the performance world. For Aries, it’s all about the joy of transformation and the power of embracing who you are (or who you want to be for the day!).

Aries is constantly evolving, inspired by the artists and costumes that make her say “wow!” She’s currently diving into the world of foam armour and is always chasing the next challenge. Whether painted green, blue, red – or every shade in between – Aries Khaos is living proof that cosplay and drag are both art forms worth celebrating.
