Help me find a fancy dress outfit please

For an adult (female!).I'm going to a sort of retreat/small festival and they're having a fancy dress night with a dj in a barn. There's no theme - they have only said "Your best idea". I have a long purple wig and can maybe get hold of a long blonde wig. I prefer something I can cobble together from charity shops rather than buying online. Any ideas please?

Go as a tube station.

High Barnet? (backcomb one of the wigs)

Maida Vale (cover yourself in beer mats)

Angel (wings)

Bank (Monopoly money)

Must be more!

disco diva as you have a purple wig ,all you would need is a sparkly top or skirt/trousers.

Sorry I meant to add I am sure you can get something from a charity shop that would be useful eg a long dress and you could go as a hippy .If you can get a tie dye dress or top that could be useful.

Purple wig - if you have a white vest top, back trousers and boots and can get a bit creative making an eye-mask you could do Leela from Futurama

Green face paint and black clothes as Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy?

How about Jesse from Toy Story

If you use your blonde wig you could wear practically any dress and tell people you are a blonde bombshell.

Sadly I couldn't get the blonde wig. But I think I have an idea! If that doesn't work out I'll go for @madaboutpurple 's disco diva. Thanks all for your help.
