[Cosplay Photos] Wizard World Chicago – Saturday – Part 1

by April Carvelli October 18, 2021

written by April Carvelli

Saturday, October 16 was a beautiful day at Wizard World Chicago. Unfortunately, I didn’t get as many cosplay photos as I would have liked due to a migraine, but I still got quite a few. I apologize for the low quality of some of the photos. It was an interesting study to see the progression of a migraine through my photography skills.

written by April Carvelli

This last weekend was one of the biggest conventions in North America, New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2021. Due to COVID, this was the first event in almost two years. The crowds were lighter due to health restrictions, but they still had a ton of pop culture fans flocking to the Javits Center in Manhattan.

GinGee Girls, who creates custom etched glassware and mugs with some of your favorite characters, attended the show and to commemorate the event, they created this commemorative glass.

They were also generous enough to let us use some of their photos:

by April Carvelli October 1, 2021

written by April Carvelli

As a movie, Cruella was mediocre at best, but the array of costumes was inspirational. It’s the costuming that made the show memorable (was there even a real storyline?). I think we will find several Cruella cosplays on the conventions floor and Cruella Halloween costumes knocking on our doors.

If you are looking for a Cruella outfit at a decent price, then check out RoleCosplay.com

Cost: $73.50
Includes: Top, gloves, skirt

Cost: $99.99
Includes: Top, gloves, Pants

Cost: $149.26
Includes: Dress

And no Cruella costume or cosplay would be complete without the hair. They have two styles of wig to choose from.

Cost: $12.56
