A World of Cosplay
Cosplay is when people dress up as characters from movies, books, or video games. Chloe Dykstra is well-known in the world of cosplay and was creating amazing costumes long before she joined the TV show Heroes of Cosplay.

She has dressed up as many popular characters. Some of her video game cosplays include:

She has also cosplayed as characters from TV and other media. She dressed up as Clara Oswald and a female version of the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who. She even created a costume for a steampunk version of a character from Minecraft.

Besides cosplay, Chloe is also an actress. She had small parts in the movies Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. Her first major role was in the movie Diminuendo, where she acted alongside Richard Hatch.
In 2021, she appeared in a music video for the song "Holier than Thou." The video was made by the band Off! for their cover of a Metallica song.
Speaking Out
In June 2018, Chloe wrote an article online about a difficult experience in a past relationship. In the article, she described being treated poorly by a former partner. She did not use his name in her article. However, news reporters later identified the person as Chris Hardwick.
Hardwick denied the claims. He said that their relationship was not perfect, but that he had supported her and had not mistreated her.
A month later, Chloe posted on Twitter that she wanted to move on with her life. She wrote, "I have said what I wanted to say on the matter and I wish to move on with my life." She also explained that she did not set out to harm anyone's career.
