Well what can you pull off? Do you want to look nice so you can dance?

Alicia Silverstone on Clueless, Audrey Tatou in Amelie, or can you channel a Bond girl or a bit of Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe.

Or you could go classic Western and pick Annie Get your Gun or Oklahoma! Costumes are fun and a talking point.

Charlie Chaplin
Sandy Olssonn
The Pink Panther (animated)

I have seen women dress up as both Chaplin and the Pink Panther and it was very effective. Need a lithe figure for the latter but perhaps more suitable for a private party.

As an hourglass size 14 I'm definitely pulling off anything lithe. Sounds amazing though!

I like the cowgirl idea a lot!

@DrLucyVanPelt I'm just about to watch Beetlejuice for the first time!

Enjoy! May give you some inspiration🖤!

Other ideas that have popped in:

Midsommar- folsky dress and flower crown

Princess Leia (white dress rather than Bikini maybe!)

Bonnie (of and Clyde)

Sally Bowles (pos not PG depending)

Love a bit of fancy dress!

I like the Barbie idea as there’s loads of barbie options!

You could channel your inner Marylin Monroe. Body con dress with heels and a blonde wig or if you can find a copy of the famous subway dress ( the one that ballooned up when she stood on the subway ventilation shaft grate).

^definitely not pulling off I meant!

Strictly contestant - sparkly dress, high heels, exaggerated makeup and hair and a ping pong bat thing with the score on it - 10 of course

Queen of Hearts ,- Alice in Wonderland

I’d love to go as Sarah from Labyrinth in her huge ball dress but Sarah from Labyrinth in her jeans and waistcoat would also be fantastic as it was basically what I used to wear in the early 90s. Nostalgia.

Otherwise - Sandy from Grease, Baby from Dirty Dancing, Katniss Everdeen.

Also maybe Marie Antoinette or someone else from that kind of era if I go full dress up...

The obvious answer for me (as its my favourite Christmas film) is Kevin from Home Alone.
I'd wear a HA Christmas jumper (with the slogan Merry Christmas ya Filthy Animals), jeans, boots and, if you can manage, short blonde hair!
I hate dressing up, but I could manage this.

JennaRink · 15/09/2024 21:35

@ghostbusters I have a confession to make.

I've never seen Home Alone...

What!?! I love it mostly because we watched it every year as a youngster so it brings me happy memories 😊 It's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's ok.
