Dragon Con 2025 Bunny Hutch Contest Results Are In!

Header photo by Patrick Sun

A classic Dragon Con tradition, the Butch Hutch party is the official kick-off party that starts Dragon Con on Thursday night. Bunny Hutch combines your favorite fandoms and Playboy-themed bunnysuits and Hefner-themed outfits.

It started off in 2009 as an unofficial meetup at the Pulse Bar in the Marriott Marquis, the central host hotel of Dragon Con, but soon boomed into a full blown party. Now it is the largest official event of Thursday. The Bunny Hutch party hosts a huge cosplay contest where competitors can show off their incredible Playboy-themed mash ups, and this year, we got the scoop on all the winners!

While we try to make sure we have everyone’s name credited to their work, some cosplayers are hard to track down. So we are including all known cosplayer’s handles with the award they have won.

Now on to the results!
