AIBU to ask for 2025 fancy dress costume ideas

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!

Pedro pascal in Last of Us..
any of the stranger things guys? Would he do the Steve Scoops Ahoy costume ?

He could just look as wrecked as possible and go as 2025
He can wear a sash if he wants to make it more obvious.

a traitor?

ShesTheAlbatross · 28/12/2025 20:37

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

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

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.

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

PhantomAfternoonTea · 28/12/2025 21:02

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

LoudSnoringDog · 28/12/2025 21:09

Ibiza final boss is a good shout

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--- 😳

Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair · 28/12/2025 21:42

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...

MrsMoastyToasty · 28/12/2025 22:08

Go as a Lioness or Red Rose.
