Cosplay at New York Comic Con 2024
Calling all heroes for the New York Comic Con 2024 cosplay roundup! This year, the event took place October 17 […]
My Melody
My Melody is a Sanrio character. She is a white rabbit who is best friends with Hello Kitty, and the sweeter counterpart to Kuromi. She also enjoys baking. In sharp contrast to Kuromi’s black and purple palette, her colors are light pink and white. Opt for a soft look with ruffles and flowers. The headband elevates the look into cosplay.
Goofy
Gawrsh! Goofy is an animated Disney character and one of the Sensational Six. Childish yet good-natured, he is Mickey’s good friend (not to be confused with Mickey’s pet dog, Pluto). As his name describes, he loves to make jokes and gags, though his clumsiness lands him into the occasional trouble. In A Goofy Movie, we find out he has a son named Max, where he’s a still silly but well-meaning parent. His signature guffaw sounds like “a-hyuck!” You can use black face paint for your nose, and you can wear a pair of light blue jeans if you’re not feeling the chinos.
Lewis
Lewis is a Target Halloween decoration turned TikTok sensation. He is an 8 foot tall, light-up pumpkin ghoul dressed in a tattered hooded robe. He lets out eerie sounds – but also friendly greetings, in which he introduces himself as Lewis. Just don’t call him a jack-o-lantern! Target happens to carry a pumpkin mask that works perfect with this costume idea.
Sandworm from Beetlejuice
The Sandworm is an iconic character from the Beetlejuice series. It resides in the Netherworld in a desert landscape. It is infamous for eating stray ghosts. The Sandworm appears in both movies, chasing Adam and Barbara in the first movie and then Astrid and Lydia in the sequel. Similar to Beetlejuice, the color scheme black and white stripes. Themed accessories can help communicate the character, or you can get cozy in a onesie.
Piglet
Piglet is a character from the Winnie the Pooh children’s books written by A.A. Milne as well as the Disney animated franchise. He is a small pig who is closest friends with Pooh. Even though he is the smallest of the bunch, he tries to overcome his shyness and display bravery. Piglet is determined to face his fears in order to help his friends. This costume guide features masculine and feminine styles for Piglet, as well as a cozy onesie.
Tigger
Tigger is a character from the children’s books written by A.A. Milne and the Disney animated franchise. Often referring to himself in the third person, Tigger loves to bounce on his long, springy tail. While Tigger is optimistic and confident, he can also be reckless and mischievous. His theme song is “The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers.” He is friends with Winnie the Pooh. There are a few ways to style an outfit inspired by this energetic character. You can lean more toward cosplay with the tiger ears and tail, wear orange and black stripes, or get cozy in a onesie. This guide includes masculine and feminine options, but feel free to wear what’s comfortable for you!
Yor Forger (Red Sweater Dress)
Yor Forger is a main character in Spy x Family. While she appears pretty and poised, she is actually a trained assassin. To stay under the radar, she enters a fake marriage with the undercover spy Loid Forger. Together they adopt and parent Anya Forger. When pretending to live a normal domestic life, Yor wears a red sweater dress, black leggings, and white ankle boots. During her missions, she pulls her hair back in a bun, but she wears her hair down for this casual look.
Moo Deng
Moo Deng is a two-month old female pygmy hippo. She lives in a zoo in Thailand. Her name means “bouncy pig/pork.” Moo Deng gained notability as an Internet meme after images and videos of her went viral online. She’s known for yelling and biting, but she’s undeniably adorable. This costume guide features a few options to dress up as Moo Deng: a casual version with the hat/sweater/pants, a onesie, and a full costume suit.
