Cosplay Highlights from Fan Expo Canada 2024: from Star vs. to Cruella to The Marvels

Fan conventions allow people like us to find kinship in the real world, with people who love the same things we do. Sometimes, that love is turned into cosplay.

Fan Expo Canada is on-going this weekend, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Here’s the Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century Studios from the Friday “Cosplay Red Carpet.”

Finally, the Cosplay Showcase featured a number of intricate outfits on display. Renaissance Scarlet Witch, by Pretty Nerdy Crystal, took eight months to create. According to the display, “they made all but the hoop skirt, using beads, ribbon, grommets, satin, brocade. Hand sewing and machine sewing was used to construct the dress and head piece.”
