When Comic Con occurs in New York City, two things are bound to happen: the average subway rider will be startled by a cosplayer's incredible appearance, and we'll find major Halloween inspiration from the style of all the attendees. Ahead, we've rounded up a few of our favorite cosplays — from spooky to sexy — to help you come up with a new costume idea for Oct. 31.
This woman made her Psylocke cosplay look even more edgy with the addition of green contact lenses.
In order to not compete with her platinum wig, this cosplayer kept the rest of her look more muted.
This Corpse Bride looked even more cartoonish thanks to the placement of false lash strips on her lower lids.
This cosplayer's kanzashi (hair accessories) drew attention to her long, choppy bangs.
Bold brows and flawless skin made this cosplayer's Belle costume look perfect.
Look closely: the face paint features spider's eyes and fangs, then trails down to create a web at her neck. Spooky!
This creepy split-face style allows you to show off your special effects skills and makeup artistry in one look.
This Gyarados cosplayer used the clever fishnet stocking hack to achieve perfectly applied scales on her cheekbones.
The icy blue wig and enormous clock-accented hair bow gave the classic Alice look a major refresh.
We're totally terrified just looking at this woman's Mad Max-inspired masterpiece but are also completely impressed by her smoky eye skills.
Cat eyes and bold face paint add a little something extra to this cute and simple costume.
We're mesmerized by the detail on this White Walker costume, from the thorny headband to the wood-like brushstrokes on her neck.
One can never go wrong with Wonder Woman! We like how this cosplayer opted for a more muted red pout to let her costume shine.
Zoom in on this Frau costume from Sakizou Artworks; the cosplayer has exaggerated the blue of her contact lenses with frosty eye shadow (and lipstick to match!).
We weren't creeped out by this masterful Red Queen costume until we saw the gloves . . .
How incredible is this two-faced Wonder Woman costume? To complement her creepier half, the wearer is rocking long fake nails, contact lenses, and a wild white wig on her left side.
Instead of restricting her makeup to Cleopatra's famous cat eye, this cosplayer incorporated bold brows and glittery, geometric lip art into her look.
