Resident Evil 4 remake’s 5 best outfits, ranked

Capcom’s Resident Evil series has always centered around two things: being hot and staying alive, in that order. Rocket launchers are also pretty hot. Since the beginning Resident Evil in 1996, Capcom has equipped nearly everyone — good guys, baddies, and hell, sometimes even the monsters — with outfits, accessories, poses, and glamour fit for A fashion show.

It’s only when the gunfire, zombies, and monologues about world domination and viruses arrive that it becomes clear that the Resident Evil franchise isn’t a fashion show. You know what else? What about the outfits? Resident Evil 4It is worth a review, especially its remake in 2023.

[Ed. note: The following contains mild spoilers for Resident Evil 4.]

Capcom wisely updated some character designs for the remake, including Ashley Graham, and added some new, optional costumes, but don’t worry: Leon’s classic jacket from 2005 is back, and it looks better than ever. We’ll get to him, but fair warning: It would be impossible to include every time a character served (it would just be a playthrough of the entire game?). The best and most fashion-forward outfits, slays, and more from the Resident Evil 4 remake, ranked.

5. Regenerative (Iron Maiden),

Imagine this. It’s dark. You’re in a dank basement. The ceiling is covered with trash bags. The ceiling is covered with trash bags. Think about it you’re not about to stumble upon a gorgeous, hardcore display of fashion — but you are most definitely wrong.

Just as you’re thinking, The sticky liquids from this trash bag are disgusting., that’s when it happens. A lumpy man slides out of the trash bag as it falls. It’s hard to look closely, since these gray dudes are monsters who will definitely try to kill you — an important tip if you’re ever in the room with one of them — but they do have a very commanding presence.

After their magic glowing hearts have been shot, the spikes are super-pointy and cover their entire body. If you manage to survive and not die, this is a truly amazing fashion show to watch. It’s honestly art. Watch out for their spikes, which will fly everywhere when they die. Their butts also fall out and can hurt you if they strike.

4. Leon in his Classic Jacket

“Not bad, right?” and “You twisted son of a bitch” are both things that Leon says while slaying enemies, and yet those phrases both seem to be apt descriptions for Leon’s classic, early-game fit. Though it’s sad that Leon’s coat is lost on his way to save Ashley Graham, it’s pretty easy to see why even a brainless Ganado would steal it. It’s a slay no matter who wears it. Capcom even allows players to correct the fashion narrative once they complete game’s main campaign, in case they want to keep Leon cute and cozy in the castle.

3. Plaga Araña

VER-SA-TILE. For those who haven’t heard or don’t know, these giant spider scorpions from hell go with Everything is better with a little help. If you’re looking to make a bold statement, castles are the perfect place. Beaches too, or outside in the dark. The long, crawly legs, the hissing — it’s a whole vibe, but the fact that they reanimate the dead is a major slay (or should we call it a reverse slay?). It doesn’t matter how dead a room may feel or how last-season some outfits may appear, because once the Plaga Araña is on the scene, everyone is sure to get moving and screaming.

2. Ashley Graham wearing a cute brown blazer

Ashley Graham has been held hostage, near death, or running from her captors for the majority of her time. Resident Evil 4 remake, but that doesn’t stop her from looking cute through it all. It’s in style to wear her orange, sleeveless shirt. It’s fashion. It’s now. But it’s her adorable brown blazer that steals the show.

Ashley Graham’s original 2005 design worked (for gross players), so Capcom’s updated redesign isn’t just a surprise: It’s empowering. Ashley’s green miniskirt from the original game, which couldn’t have provided her with any level of comfort or protection (either from players or from the elements), has been reworked into a skort and a pair of tights, eschewing misogyny while also bringing warmer and more appropriate wear for those autumn temperatures and rain.

In the original, Ashley’s skirt felt like it was worn for everyone else in the room. The original RE4 was aware of that, with the game even having dialogue built in for slimeball players who decided to look up Ashley’s skirt through a rifle scope while Leon was standing on lower ground. In the remake, Ashley, Leon, and their outfits are as stylish as possible, while they work together to stay alive. It all adds up to be one of the biggest slays on Capcom’s RE4 Make a runway.

1. Staff Zealot

Alright, so he’s pretty much one of the most slayest guys ever, let alone in Resident Evil 4. Objectively. The enemy is a zealot. You can start immediatelyThis guy is the one who starts up the party (heh). This guy knows why he’s there. He knows his main objective isn’t to battle; it’s to dazzle.

He’s a drummer, dancer, singer, and fashionista in this fight. He is a professional. He knows he is background — and so he works it perfectly. This zealot is equipped with an enigmatic staff and a red, tattered gown. There are many kinds of magic.

The crowd goes crazy when he starts singing and chanting. Literally. The parasites that are festering and twisting in the Las Plagas have been exposed by popping their necks. The bad guy atmosphere is heightened to 11 with this slaying. It even temporarily stuns Leon Kennedy, probably because of how cool it just became. It’s a shame you have to kill the whole room, but you can always leave the zealot leader for last and achieve maximum spooky vibes.
