Playing in third-person means you can always see your skins and other cosmetics, so why not have something cute or cool to look at? Fortnite’s female skins are the most popular choice among players thanks to their stylish getups and creative designs! Let’s go over which we think are the 20 best Fortnite girl skins, ranked.
20. Arctic Adeline
Arctic Adeline is the Winterfest counterpart of Adeline, who is usually dressed in green and black. This festive version was available to unlock for free in 2022 during the Winterfest celebrations.
Only unlocked when opening the green gift box with the red bow, Arctic Adeline has remained a firm favorite among players who have her. She has two styles: hood up and hood down, with the hooded version proving most popular. This super sleek and sporty skin may be a Christmas exclusive, but she can be seen in more lobbies than her regular counterpart.
19. Fable
The Red Riding Hood-inspired skin, Fable, is an Epic-rarity 2018 cosmetic unlocked at tier 47 of the Season 6 Battle Pass.
She may look like Little Red Riding Hood, but she is far from a defenseless girl. Her outfit is made of battle-worn material and leather, decorated with flower patches, wolf fur, and teeth. Her hood and pigtails are adorable, but she can clearly look after herself. She’s a perfect combination of cute and fierce, which is probably why so many players still love her today.
18. Harlowe
Harlowe is a badass girl skin from Chapter 3 Season 1. She was bought with nine Battle Stars on page eight of that season’s pass.
She’s the kind of skin who wouldn’t look out of place in a sci-fi movie with her pink skin and shock of white hair. Harlowe can be changed up in multiple ways, from her head to her boots and a bunch of color styles, too. These choices make her a versatile and fun skin to use! Her style is a futuristic biker style with skin-tight leather and an animalistic helmet. All these little details make her a popular skin among players who were lucky enough to get her back in 2021.
17. Haven
Haven is a unique skin only available from the Chapter 3 Season 1 Battle Pass. Players could unlock her by purchasing her with nine Battle Stars and then unlocking her masks by completing quests.
Although she is a lovely-looking skin, it’s Haven’s masks that make her one of the best girl skins around. Players could unlock each of the 30 colorful masks by completing quests like hunting chickens or catching fish. Every player who has Haven in their locker has a favorite mask (mine is the friendly Klombo!) and a favorite Haven style of either regular Haven red or Midnight black.
16. Red Knight
The Red Knight is one of the oldest Legendary skins you can have in your locker, but she has returned a few times over the years. This skin is occasionally available to purchase from the Item Shop for 2,000 V-Bucks.
Dressed in perfect red and black armor and ready for battle, the Red Knight skin is the female version of the classic Black Knight, who was a Season 2 exclusive. Many players prefer this Red Knight over the male Black Knight because of her cooler coloring and sleeker design, plus she came with a regal Red Shield back bling. She turns up in the Item Shop a couple of times a year, so grab her next time she appears!
15. Highwire
Chapter 4 Season 2 brought Highwire and her Chaos Artist set to the Battle Pass. Her first style was available to purchase with nine Battle Stars on page 11, with further styles unlocked by completing season quests and as Bonus Rewards.
The most attractive thing about this skin is the variety of styles you can get with her. Her regular style is really cool with long bunny ears on a black jumpsuit with straps and buckles. The extra colors and details bring it to another level. Players can choose to have her hood up to show off the bunny ears, or down to reveal her short choppy haircut. The final super level in the Bonus Rewards is the best version, as it’s a fun glitchy red trimmed with shiny gold.
14. Kiara K.O.
Kiara K.O. was a Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass exclusive and part of a full K.O. Captain set of cosmetics. She could be unlocked using nine Battle Stars on page five of that pass, with the rest of the items and styles coming separately.
This skin came with a full bundle of other cosmetics and items, including an in-built emote, ‘Bag of Essentials’. The skin itself is super sweet, and she looks like she is ready to fight in impeccable style! Kiara K.O.’s original pastel style matches her cruiser glider and spiked club pickaxe, and her braided hair is absolute perfection. Players can add sunglasses or a biker helmet, but to be honest, her original style is the best.
13. Focus
Focus was first released in 2019 but has appeared regularly in the Item Shop since. She goes for 1,200 V-Bucks or 1,800 for the entire Focal Point bundle. This includes back bling, a pickaxe, a glider, and a wrap.
The fact her entire bundle is such a reasonable price is probably the reason Focus is so popular and appears in our Sweatiest Skins list! Focus comes in two styles: a light gray, white, and blue style, and a darker Future Agent style with bronze accents on her suit. The regular white-haired version is the most popular of the two and proves that players really love well-designed original outfits.
12. Derby Dynamo
Derby Dynamo is a particularly rare skin as it has only appeared a few times in the Item Shop since its introduction in 2020. When it does turn up, it costs $11.99 for the entire quest pack.
The quest pack includes her original Derby Dynamo skin with three styles and a Quad Roller back bling, as well as her in-built emote, Freewheelin’. The quests unlocked 1,500-V Bucks! She is one of my favorite skins, as her styles range from cute and colorful to dark and devilish! The traversal Freewheelin’ emote is special too.
11. Onesie
Onesie is a Chapter 1 Season 7 skin unlocked at tier 87. She also came with a style to unlock by completing Overtime Challenges during Valentine’s Week in 2019.
Onesie is one of those simple yet effective types of skin where players love how uncomplicated the styling is. She wears an all-in-one Durr-Burger sleep suit with a yellow hood and bobble-eyes on top. Don’t let the fact she is dressed for a sleepover fool you: she has shotgun shells strapped to her shoulder and armor on her legs so she is still ready for battle!
10. Ava
Ava is one of the first girl Fortnite skins of her kind and was released in October 2022 for 1,500 V-Bucks or 1,900 for her bundle. Her bundle includes the skin, a built-in emote, two wallpapers, a back bling, a pickaxe, and a wrap.
She isn’t the first to get an in-built emote, but Ava it does turn her into an entirely different outfit, which is always a neat bonus. When Ava uses the Ready Up emote, she transforms into Tarr, a video game-type character who glitches out when she eliminates an enemy or opens a chest. This two-for-one deal with this skin is particularly appealing, as you can change mid-game if you want to!
9. Selene
Selene is a Chapter 4 Season 1 Battle Pass skin unlocked pretty much immediately after purchasing the pass. She has an entire glowy moon-themed bundle of cosmetics too.
The appeal of Selene comes with her otherworldly almost cyberpunk look and her vast collection of styles. Players can apply her full armor and headdress/mask for a total moon goddess look or choose one of her super-level styles from black Elysian to golden Halcyon. Each of those super styles was unlocked in the Bonus Rewards section at 25 Battle Stars each. Selene has such a cool look with a punky attitude, it’s no surprise she’s proven to be a popular choice!
8. Siren
First released in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2, Siren is still occasionally turning up in the Item Shop. This super cool girl skin is usually priced at 1,200 V-Bucks alone or 2,400 for the entire Hit Squad bundle.
Siren’s ‘Noir’ style was introduced in 2020 and is the most popular of her two styles. She has a sleek design that appeals to players who want that illusion of a smaller hitbox. Her spy/hitman look fits the vibe of players who want to hunt down every opponent they can find! Siren’s regular style is pretty great, too. It’s nowhere near as popular as the comic book black and white ‘Noir’ version, though!
7. Marigold
Marigold is a pretty popular girl skin as she turns up fairly often in the Fortnite Item Shop as part of the Golden Touch Quest Pack. The pack costs $11.99 and includes two styles, pickaxes, back bling, wallpaper, and 1,500 V Bucks!
Marigold is the female counterpart of Midas and is named after King Midas’ daughter from the ancient Greek myth. The unique look and effects that she and Midas have contributed to her appeal. Only Marigold and Midas have the golden touch effect, which occurs when the character eliminates opponents. Every weapon she touches also turns to gold, which is a really fun detail.
6. Aura
Aura took the top spot on our Sweatiest Skins list for a good reason! She is cheap, especially for a skin that comes with three styles. She first appeared in May 2019 and returns regularly.
As one of the most affordable girl skins in Fortnite, Aura proves to be super popular. She looks effortlessly cool, and as you can choose to have her wearing slightly different outfits, she has a bit of versatility too. Players can change her coloring depending on their mood, but the most popular of the three is the outfit with a red sweater and yellow beanie hat.
5. Cuddle Team Leader
Cuddle Team Leader is a fun and fluffy girl skin introduced to Fortnite back in 2018 but is still popular today. She is usually priced at 2,000 V Bucks, which is the standard pricing for a legendary skin.
This pink bear is part of the Royale Hearts set, which also includes the Love Ranger and True Love emote. The set was brought to us first for a Valentine’s Day theme but proved so popular that it regularly returns to the Item Shop. Cuddle Team Leader is pretty iconic and even has her own bundle of items, including a bear paw pickaxe and a giant pink bear glider. She truly is un-bear-ably cute!
4. Surf Witch
Surf Witch appeared first in June 2020 with the beach and water-themed Chapter 2 Season 3. As it was a summer season, a lot of the new skins had cool beach vibes!
Surf Witch comes in two styles: default with pink space buns hairstyle or the black and red Surf Demon with long, curly red horns. She’s a popular style among streamers and appears in a couple of locker bundles which you can purchase for between 1,600 and 1,800 V-Bucks. She comes with Starpower back bling, but players can also buy a star-themed pickaxe if they want the entire Demon Beach set. Surf Witch wears cute denim shorts and a crop top with a star motif, making her one of the coolest Fortnite girl skins available.
3. Stoneheart
Stoneheart first came to the Fortnite Item Shop back in Season X and has returned almost every Valentine’s Day since.
She can be bought alone for 1,500 V Bucks or part of a huge Hearts of Stone bundle for 2,500, which includes Love Ranger and a host of other cosmetic items! Stoneheart is a beautiful skin and looks just like a stone statue trimmed with gold. She has stone wings also lined with gold as a back bling that sets off her look! Her golden Romanesque sandals and braided headband are serious levels of cute. It is the little details that make this a special girl skin and one of our favorite Fortnite skins of all time.
2. Ghoul Trooper
Ghoul Trooper is a creepy take on the classic Ramirez outfit. This Fortnite zombie girl skin comes in three styles, but the most popular is the default turquoise cartoon style.
The default style looks just like Ramirez if she has decided to go to a Halloween party as a zombie! The fact we are given three very different styles for this 1,500 V-Bucks skin is a huge part of the appeal. Her pale green zombie style is a bit more realistic, with black lips, yellow eyes, and deathly white hair! Ghoul Trooper’s pink skin version is a lot more cartoony and bright, but she looks cool with her blue hair and bright detailing. Whichever style you choose, you won’t be disappointed with Ghoul Trooper. Make sure you purchase her next time she shows up in the Halloween Item Shop!
1. Hatsune Miku
While Fortnite has collaborated with plenty of real music artists, this is the first time they have gone a step further to collaborate with a fictional singer. This vocaloid (voice synthesized singing) was added in the seventh season’s Music Pass during Chapter 6 Season 1.
Owners of the Music Pass were able to unlock an alternative version of Hatsune Miku, but her default look was made available in the Item Shop and is sure to show up at least a couple additional times this year.
As for why this skin is the best, that answer should be obvious. Not only is Hatsune Miku adorable but she’s been an icon for almost 18 years. As well as being a usable skin in the Battle Royale mode, a lot of her music has also been added to Fortnite Festival, so you can rock this skin while belting out her greatest hits.
