ScreenCrush published a ranked gallery of 20 standout looks in “The Best Cosplay at New York Comic-Con 2026,” spotlighting costumes photographed at this year’s New York Comic-Con.
The ScreenCrush gallery lists the 20 best cosplay photos it saw, capped by a Te Fiti from Moana at number one and a Sandworm from Dune at number two, and describes Highlander Deadpool among the highlights.
New York Comic-Con ran at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from October 8–11, 2026, and ScreenCrush notes the gathering coincided with the convention’s 20th anniversary, which helped swell the turnout and variety of fandom looks.
The ScreenCrush piece emphasizes variety across media — Marvel and DC characters, film and TV figures, gaming armor, and original creations — and the photos the site chose come from professional event photography agencies credited in the gallery.
If you’re at the Javits Center or following remotely, you can find the ScreenCrush gallery for quick inspiration on standout looks and costume ideas before heading to panels or photo ops.
