Fancy dress

[iloveminieggs]

Hi Ladies not sure where is best to put this!
I am going to a fancy dress dinner/party next month and the theme is the oscars.
Has anyone got any ideas who I can go as? I'm 5'3 with light brown hair but won't say no to wearing a wig. I'm 23 by the way in case that helps? I don't suppose it has to be a winner being nominated should be enough or even an actress/character from a film that won best film? I'm not too hot on my films especially Oscar nominated films so really need help!! So far I have thought of Kate winslet, titanic. Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth. Mary poppins. Please help! Thanks in advance

How about Liza Minelli a-la Cabaret?

Depends on how brave you're feeling though

Or a bit more current - Natalie Portman in Black Swan?

Both v easily recognisable costumes and not too hard to put together, but a bit different...

Sorry - should be Minnelli

Gwynneth Paltrow in pink strapless dress and scraped back hair and sobbing?

Dress actually has teeny tiny straps..

Sorry cant open link on my phone. What film?
I thought of black swan but my friend is already doing that, and another is doing girl from Chicago.
I'm not normally a fan of fancy dress but do still want to do it properly.
Thanks

Judy Garland? (Can you spot the theme here?!).

Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.

Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.

And was thinking of Cabaret, not Chicago

Oops slightly enormous link there!

I would say yes, but going to say no as it is a work party with some of my customers there. If it was just friends yes but I really don't fancy having to wear that surrounded by my colleagues (and percy customers)! Any more?

Go as an oscar? gold jumpsuit

Or a blue person off Avatar?

Or go as <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=girl+with+dragon+tattoo&hl=en&client=safari&sa=X&rls=en&biw=1224&bih=623&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsb&tbnid=7EKB0qZxDIXGZM:&imgrefurl=www.celebrityhot.info/style/hm-is-releasing-a-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo-collection-for-the-holidays/&docid=Uef0vgaeJHyGuM&imgurl=style.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hm-girl-with-dragon-tattoo-1.jpg&w=576&h=440&ei=ozpXT7CwB8HC8gOkssiRDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=567&vpy=89&dur=6718&hovh=196&hovw=257&tx=108&ty=125&sig=101450852458733953599&page=3&tbnh=136&tbnw=178&start=54&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:17,s:54" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lisbet salandar from Girl with a dragon tattoo?

Thanks for your ideas. What about Audrey Hepburn? Kind of like the idea of just wearing a black dress! I want to be comfy for dinner and dancing

I'd go with Audrey - Pearls, updo, cigarette in a holder, long black dress. Sorted!

1920s theme - character from The Artist?

Any long black dress & stick your leg out à la Jolie..?

Miss piggy surely? I would totally go as her but I wouldn't need a costume sob

Celiafate that is what I was thinking exactly!

Badtasteflump and a few of my friends suggested black swan what should I wear? Someone else is now Audrey Hepburn.
