AIBU to ask for 2025 fancy dress costume ideas

29 replies

spideysmumma · 28/12/2025 20:19

Shamelessly posting here for traffic. Please help! We are having a fancy dress party for New Year’s Eve and the theme is 2025.

For context I am going as Elpheba, my husband is Donald Trump, and my sisters are the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

My brother in law needs ideas - please help Mumsnet!

Thanks for the suggestions all! We already have a final boss and the couple from the Coldplay concert - I think Luke Littler takes the win!

Go as a Lioness or Red Rose.

BeQuirkyMintScroller · 28/12/2025 22:05

Go as "brain-rot"

It has been a big thing online this year.

Make a hat with disgusting looking rot on it from ugly coloured tissue paper, worms...

Great ideas for Costumes I have seen in the past are;
Ron Burgundy
Homer Simpson
Austin powers
Gomez Addams

What have those got to do with a 2025 theme?

Massive 6 on the front and 7 on the back

Nikkynakkynoo · 28/12/2025 21:11

That guy who got caught cheating on the big screen at a Coldplay gig. Just normal clothes and a wide eyed expression that says OH F--- 😳

LoudSnoringDog · 28/12/2025 21:09

Ibiza final boss is a good shout

PhantomAfternoonTea · 28/12/2025 21:02

Seeing as it is 2025, can he not just go in his normal clothes? Confused

LorettaY · 28/12/2025 20:53

I’d say Vecna from Stranger Things if it wasn’t such a challenge. Steve is a good idea as above.

Rainbow1901 · 28/12/2025 20:53

Dress up in lots of glittery sparkly things with postcards of London Eye, Big Ben etc showing the fireworks display - maybe add a necklace or cards counting down from 10 to 1 and carry some sparklers too. Or dress up as Trump with his Tariffs Board. Did we have a new Pope this year? Borrow a copy of the Guinness Book of Records and walk around with a large Margarita - a new record for largest one ever made was set this year! Dress up in Football strip for whoever won the FA cup this year.

Benedict Bridgerton.

Luke Littler? Became the youngest ever darts winner in 2025

It’s 2025 themed

Christmaseree · 28/12/2025 20:42

County and western themed costume? Jeans, checked shirt and a sherif badge.

PP’s Louvre thief idea is good. High vis jacket, lots of cheap costume jewellery and a tiara.

feelinhopeful · 28/12/2025 20:37

a traitor?

Overalls · 28/12/2025 20:36

Ozzy Osborne

Tomatocutwithazigzagedge · 28/12/2025 20:34

Pope Leo XIV?

Louvre jewel thief?

Ibiza Final boss?
