Twenty years have gone by since the conclusion of Peter Jackson’s epic film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. The New Zealand director put Tolkien’s most famous works back into the minds of the public and created a brand new fandom of high fantasy buffs for a new generation. The release of The Hobbit prequels and Prime Video’s The Rings of Power have helped to maintain the legacy that the original movies began.

Since there are countless shops and companies that offer costumes modeled after the beloved characters in The Lord of the Rings, it can be daunting to have so many options to choose from. Fear not - here is a collection of top-tier costumes, all from officially licensed manufacturers who took painstaking care in recreating the looks from the movies.
