In a gorgeous cosplay, Poison Ivy share a tender moment as the iconic couple star in an amazing recreation of a Shannon Stamey illustration. @cassandracosplays and @hauntedhostess shared their take on the DC Comics super-couple while offering a vintage cosplay that gives the two heroines a more classic look. Both Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are stunningly brought to life in the romantic snapshots.
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have evolved in the pages of DC Comics from partners in crime, to best friends, to romantic partners. The unlikely romance is among the best in comics, as Harley Quinn's chaotic energy mixes well with Poison Ivy. The couple initially were paired together in non-canon stories, but more recently, the Ivy and Harley have become partners in canon. The sometimes villains/antiheroes came together in a beautiful moment in James Tynion and Jorge Jimenez's Batman run, where Harley helped make Ivy whole again. However, Harley Quinn HBO animated series and an excellent spin-off comic continuing their small-screen adventures.
On Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are wearing classic outfits that stay true to their usual DC Comics costumes. In the image, Poison Ivy shares a rose with her greatest love. The cosplays are spot-on, as it feels like both Harley and Ivy have been ripped straight from Shannon Stamey's illustration. Everything from the hair, makeup, flower details, and costumes make it feel like the cosplayers are the actual DC heroines from another time period.

On her Instagram page, the cosplayer shared more snapshots and costumes of her and @hauntedhostess. The cosplays really show the ion that exists in Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's romance and do a beautiful job in bringing the heroes to life. It makes us hope that the characters will be paired up romantically in the movies one day.
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have become a beloved couple in the pages of DC Comics, and hopefully, they last the distance as a couple - despite whatever speedbumps come their way. The Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy cosplay further proves why they are the best couple in comics and why they deserve to be together for the long run. The vintage illustration is beautiful and the recreation does the incredible artwork justice.
