What will this years omnipresent cosplay be?
Post Body

Every year there is one or two cosplays that show up in huge numbers. Such as last year's Stranger Things Hellfire Club. Or some examples from previous years: the stranger things sailor outfits, Loki gator, Starlord.

To become the 'it' cosplay I find that it has to be: A. Easy to recreate/purchase B. Be from a show/movie that came out pretty damn recently

I have two predictions for this year:

First: I think Wednesday will be popular, with many a dance recreation. It's simple to recreate, and was very much a part of the social discourse. The only things hurting it is it's not as recent, having come out not long after last year's con, and it's typically more of a female cosplay (though I'm aure we will aee genderbent versions).

Second: Barbie/Ken. Super recent, super popular, and basically you can just slap some pink on a cosplay and call it kenough. What hurts it is it is so recent a lot of folks won't have had time to prep a cosplay, and there isn't a single iconic look from the film to recreate. I expect this to more go the route of the Loki gator, where folks just work in barbie into existing cosplays a lot of the time. Starlord Ken and Barbie Gamora, that sort of thing.

What are your predictions?
