Costumes beginning with an A

So my hen do is in a few months time and I asked everyone to dress up in something beginning with an A.

All are up for it but I really want to be unique and different? Can anyone think of something?

Even if it's from a book, film, a place, a pet. Anything.

But something people would recognise too.

I've looked on the internet but feel a little meh at most of them

Ariana Grande and Anne Marie would be good as well as they both have a very recognisable look.

And yes , they're all up for it as they probably don't want to offend/upset you.

You aren't really thinking of going as Amy Winehouse surely Confused Someone who died fairly recently, at a tragically young age, and whose life spiralled out if control in the public eye. That'd be really tasteless.

‘To the user who said I want to dress sexy? Why would you assume that?

You have no idea what I look like or what costume I would pick. Just no need for that kind of comment.

A lighthearted thread even turns upside down sometimes‘

That was me - you’ll see I suggested Angel as a opposed to Artful Dodger. Based on my experience of hen dos people have wanted to look sexy or attractive , no need to get bent out of shape over it.

I think OP has taken your comment very wrong. I presumed you just meant most people like to look nice on a hen do and get a bit dressed up, not go as an avocado or something. 😂

Maybe you would be happy to go as something funny or not dressed up OP but I don’t think any harm was meant by presuming that you’d like to look dressed up.

Thank you HomeisDog, yes I think I put ‘im guessing’ just based on my previous hen do experiences. No shade intended and came after I’d rethought my first suggestion of Abigail’s Party 😂

She died in 2011, that's not fairly recently. People dress up her, there are tribute acts too.
