It's no surprise that the chaotic glory that is Kakegurui has risen in popularity amongst cosplayers and Tiktokers. The simple student uniforms mixed with the characters' diverse and creative personalities (all of whom are somewhere on the spectrum of insanity) allow costume artists to play and experiment in different looks, details, and performances.
In fact, the amount of which people are dressing like the notorious anime girl cast is so vast it's a rabbit hole all in itself. The fan favorites to dress as is the protagonist Yumeko Jabami, then the entertaining supporters such as the boastful Mary Saotome, mysterious siblings Kirari Momobami and Ririka Momobami, gamer girl Runa Yomozuki, nail collector Itsuki Sumeragi, and the violent Midari Ikishima.

A gorgeously articulated interpretation of the Kakegurui look by an already talented cosplayer, Dahla brings her own spin by bringing a gothic duality to her character, seemingly inspired by the titular compulsive gambler herself. She's also dressed as Yumeko, accurate to the very grace and spirit she has before likely breaking out into creepily excited laughter.

It helps that 2pink2yellow brings their polished photography and makeup skills to the table to get one of the cleanest deliveries for an incredibly crazed and corrupted character. Her interpretation of Midari is simple yet satisfyingly accurate in delivery and spirit. The detail on her eyepatch is simple yet satisfying, also adding to the cartoony feel.

Bringing life to a wider range of the Kakegurui cast, including Mary, Midori, Itsuki, and Kiari, mk0607mg brings their history of passionate cosplaying to the table. Their Tiktok on the characters is a tad more ambitious than a majority, bringing truth to small details such as Itsuki's nails and the eye colors.
Every character feels entirely distinguished, and their personalities shine. She also cosplays as the Traditional Culture Research Society head Yuriko Nishinotouin, who is a bit a rarity to see being represented in cosplay.
azzy.cosplay
Azzy.cosplay plays on the beloved characters as we know them--including Yumeko, Itsuki, Kiari, and Runa--and brings an extra level to the makeup inspired by alternative looks. The expanded glamor adds an extra touch of effort and reality to the characters and is enjoyably creative. Not to mention her domineering Tiktok on Kiari is chill-inducing.
pincsoc
Taking more of an e-girl and alternative spin on the characters' looks, pincsoc brings a pep and iciness along with her performances of the characters Mary, Kiari, and Midari. She even does a fun gun-twirl when acting as Midari, adding a little unexpected cartoony spin to an enjoyably unpredictable character.
yeahimcaroline
Though she covers a small variety of the characters, nothing is as unmatched as yeahimcaroline's representation and performance of Runa. Calling in her spunk to bring the spritely, free-spirited student council member with swift movements and the perfect interaction with her iconic lollipop that evokes the playful intelligence of the character.
The cosplayer and Tiktoker is no stranger to the elfish, energized and magical, bringing the best to what RunaTok has to offer.
THEEDeezumaki
Style, aesthetic, skill, and spirit all come together in THEEDeezumaki's presentation of Mary, Runa, and most notably, Yumeko. Creating some of the most popular Tiktoks on behalf of Kakegurui, the cosplayer also impressively voice acts the main character voices. They bring the perfect balance of sharpness and anarchy to her pictures and performances. Something also noteworthy is how they even painted their eyebrows blonde for the Mary outfit.
goatchii.cos
goatchii.cos brings their stylistic twist to fan favorites Midari and Runa. A poppy WebCore aesthetic involving massive detail and improvisation on behalf of the makeup brings the characters to life while upholding an artistic touch. Their Tiktoks on Midari show just as much. The satisfying detail of adding horns and butterfly clips gives the crazy bet-maker a lovely e-girl touch. The lash, eyeliner, and decal effort for Runa bring her to a whole new level that accentuates her personality as a gamer girl, perhaps inspired by the likes of Belle Delphine.
f.ukuro
The cosplayer is huge on Instagram and Tiktok. Taking on the "Kakegurui challenge" in which one acts out the entire main cast of female characters within a short soundbite, it's no understating that f.ukuro has taken the reigns for the most iconic entry. Not only does she act out all the girls with an impressive range of expressions and powerful theatrics overall, but she also dresses up as each character with great precision and care that will make any Kakegurui fan swoon. The transitions are smooth for the cleanest Kakegurui Tiktok,, perhaps of all time, her first challenge Tiktok having just surpassed 15K likes and 185K shares, all of which is well deserved!
