Is this a terrible fancy dress idea? 1976 party.

[IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads]

I’ve been invited to a “1976” themed party. I really don’t want to do the whole ABBA bit, that everyone is getting exited about, but “Rocky” was released in 1976…. So could I go as Rocky Balboa?i

Barbara from the Good Life?

💯 you could go as Rocky Balboa. Or Bugsy Malone, another 1976 classic

Wear a yellow T Shirt and draw greenfly all over it !!

Yes, you can.

Wear rocky if you really want to, but surely it doesn't need to be a specific person from 1976? Wouldn't a generic, mid 70's themed outfit do? Or a stand pipe, sun hat and sun glasses.

Go as a bucket and standpipe

Margot! It has to be Margot!

Margot not Barbara Much more fun

Red, white and blue outfit - the Queen's jubilee was a huge event that year.

Bay City Rollers fan, I was one at that exact time.

A punk

That was 1977 😀

Yes complete with the yellow velour tracksuit .. complete with mud

What would a Rocky costume be?
I have never watched the films but it's about boxing isn't it?
So were you thinking of going in boxing kit?
I have a vague thought that there's a famous jogging scene were he is dressed in a grey (or black?) tracksuit and wooly hat.
It doesn't sound a particularly interesting costume to be honest.
Sorry.

Doh!
So it was.

As you were.

Start of punk

This could be fun

Ladybird, there was a huge invasion of them in 76

I was born in 1976, you could go as me if you want!

10 inch platform shoes. Wide flared trousers with 9 inch wide waistband. Eye brows plucked to a fine line. Flicked up fringe.
10 number 6 and a box of matches shoved down your knee socks and Bob's yer uncle!! 🤣🤣

Farrah Fawcett Majors?

Dallas wasn’t until 1978, sadly

Real people didn’t wear 10” platforms. About 2” for the platform, 3” for the wedge heel will do nicely without killing you when you dance.
Above the flares, cheesecloth shirt with a tie waist.

Ladybird - there was a plague of them due to the heatwave

Margot wouldn't have been seen dead in a tracksuit. Or velour. She was wearing oilskins and a sou'wester in that scene.

One of the top films was The Omen - go as Damien
