The first costume on our list of Eurovision fancy dress ideas is an obvious choice, but we had to add it regardless! One of the world’s most recognised bands and winners of Eurovision back in the 70s, Abba, even to this very day, is loved by many. We certainly can’t get enough of their catchy songs.

Considering the contest will be hosted in Liverpool this year, we can't think of a better Eurovision fancy dress costume idea!
Next up on our list of Eurovision costume ideas is a novelty costume that's perfect for Brits supporting the United Kingdom. Red post boxes are an icon of the UK and are known worldwide. What better way to shout about your country and give your mates a laugh? Dress as a postbox and you'll be the life and soul of your Eurovision party.
We’re talking long, flared trousers, white suits and the best disco dance moves anyone’s ever seen. Yup, you guessed it, we’re taking it back to the 1970s again! Disco emerged from 70s and rode the highs well into the 90's. It's even a popular theme in this year's Eurovision. Raise your arms into the air and perfect those iconic moves. This outfit requires a lot of hip movement.
The next costume on our list couldn’t be more fitting for Eurovision. Who can remember the iPod? It wasn't that long ago we were all listening to MP3 players and blaring tunes from our boombox. Although it's all about smartphone music players these days, the classics are still considered to be cool. Get ready to blast out your favourite songs from Eurovision and make an entrance to the party!
Another legendary British singer who we’ll always remember is Freddie Mercury, the lead vocalist of the rock band, Queen. Clap your hands together, stomp your feet and grab your electric guitar, as you belt out one of his classics. Some of our favourite include ‘We will rock you,’ and ‘We are the champions’. It's a Eurovision fancy dress idea that everyone will recognise the moment you enter the room.
The next costume on our list is one for the men who like to dress up and look smart at the same time. A suit says a lot about a man, and no doubt you’ll be the smartest person in the room. This outfit idea is smooth, sophisticated and insanely loud. Cheer on the UK in style this year!
Are you looking forward to letting your hair down and dancing to catchy, and sometimes strange tunes? Unleash your inner disco god as you blind other partygoers both with your dance moves and your outfit! You’ll be the shining star at the party with this suave outfit.
Hip hop played a huge part in the music industry back in the 90s. The likes of Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Outcast paved way for a new era in music. They also brought us some of the best club music at the time. Relive your best 90s moments at this year’s Eurovision, grab that mic and rap to your favourite tune.
Let’s face it, all women love to dress up, no matter the occasion, but if there’s an occasion to dress up for, even better! Don your gold outfit and gold jewellery and head straight on to that dance floor, as you become the ultimate dancing queen. This Eurovision costume idea is such a fitting choice for Eurovision.
If you’re into the latest fashion trends and love a good time on the dance floor, perhaps the 1970s psychedelic style is your thing? Think big flares (the bigger the better) and bold animal prints. This is another great Eurovision costume idea inspired by 70s style.
What’s Eurovision without a dash of colour? If you’re looking for something more unique to help make you stand out from the crowd, transform into a human rainbow for Eurovision. Cheer on the nation from the back of the bar and everyone will still see you. There's no disguising yourself in this outfit.
We've listed plenty of 60s and 70s inspired outfits, but what about the following decade? Hand’s up if you love the 80s! A decade full of class, vibrance, colour and style, people knew exactly how to party. We’re talking bright coloured clothes, crimped hair, sweatbands and leg warmers. You’ll look like a true 80s kid at your upcoming Eurovision party when you suit up in this outfit.
The final costume in our Eurovision fancy dress costume ideas guide is one for lovers of music. Madonna was such an icon in the 80s and 90s, known for her wacky hair styles, 'out-there' clothing, and of course, her music.

We hope you’ve received the memo by now, but for those who haven’t, the biggest party of the summer in on the horizon. The King is celebrating his coronation on the 6th May, and as with all royal bank holidays, it’s going to be one big celebration! As it’s a British occasion, it calls for British costumes, British accessories, and of course, British party decorations.
Go all out wearing a Union Jack printed suit or transform into Geri Halliwell for the party, in her iconic mini Union Jack Dress. Accessorise your look with a funky Union Jack Wig or get into the party spirit wearing a fun hat accessory. We’ve put together a list of King's Coronation and accessory ideas that the King herself would be proud of. The costumes can be worn for other British-themed events too, such as Eurovision, sports events and Around The World themed parties.
The weather can be a bit hit or miss, especially in the UK, so you’re going to need an extra layer, especially if you party on into the night or are having an outdoor BBQ party. Add a bit of sparkle and glam to your British look. Your jacket will shine even more when the sun hits your outfit in the summer. We love it and we’re sure the King would approve too!
Waistcoats may be a thing of the past, but they do wonders to your look and are quickly becoming fashionable again. If you’re heading to a party that requires red, white and blue attire, team the waistcoat up with a smart white shirt, or swap it for a loose t-shirt for a more chilled and laid-back look. We’ll give you three guesses as to the theme of the party…
There’s no such thing as over the top, especially not for the King's coronation celebrations. And the more the better in this case! Leave your loungewear at home and swap it for something a bit more jazzy to capture the attention of other party goers. One thing’s for sure, you’ll be awarded the best dressed as the party!
The next costume on our list of King's coronation costume ideas is one for the 90’s kids out there. If you loved the Spice Girls growing up, then you can transform into Ginger Spice and cheer on your country at the same time. Her iconic Union Jack dress will go down in history, so you better do it justice!
When we first think of Great Britain, asides from Fish n chips and scones, we imagine the classic red post boxes that can be found all over towns and cities. They’re a British icon and make a great photo opportunity, especially when you’re dressed up as one!
Many visitors make their way to the capital, London, for a long-weekend break of sightseeing. Top sights include Buckingham Palace, paying the King a visit at Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, and of course, Big Ben. Whilst you’re not going to be quite as tall as the real thing, you can pop on a pair of heels and grow a few inches if you fancy it! Celebrate the King's coronation as one of London’s most iconic monuments!
Queen Victoria was the ruling Queen in the late 1800s. She’s still a royal icon and is worthy of dressing up as her to celebrate the King's coronation! You could also repurpose the Queen Victoria costume to dress up as Queen Elizabeth.
The first accessory we have on our list is great for those who want a quick and easy piece to wear for their upcoming party. Let’s be honest, there will only ever be one Queen Elizabeth, but you can do your best to look like her. That’ll be a sherry for me, please dear!
One way to really take your look to the next level is to accessorise to your hearts content! Hats are not only fun centrepieces for plain clothing, but they can also be worn with your favourite British costume. Which team will you be on, team top hat or bowler hat?
Next up on our list are accessories that can’t be worn alongside your costume as such, but rather used as some great party decorations! Jazz up your house both indoors and outdoors with all things Union Jack! Bunting decorations are an affordable option for when it comes to party decorations and can be used multiple times when looked after. Deck the halls with red, white and blue!
Union Jack Flag
For those of you looking for a 2-in-1 accessory that can either be worn on top of your current costume, or used as a prop or party decoration, then this is it! Stand proud waving your giant flag as you celebrate the King's coronation. Wear it as a cape, wrap over, top, dress, skirt, or hang it up indoors or outdoors as a fantastic party decoration.
The next item on our list of King's coronation costume ideas is one for the wild ones out there. Having a bad hair day? Or just fancy adding a something extra to your look? Then these fancy Union Jack Wigs will have others filled with British envy. Choose between a sultry bob or long locks and be a head above the rest at the street party.
It’s time to bring back the signature hair-do from the 80s and show off to other partygoers what a true British look is! It’s a perfect choice for both men and women that fancy giving the classic afro a new name!
The final accessory idea is ideal for anybody who’s in a bit of a hurry and are looking to make their rather plain outfit look a bit more British. Whilst the King doesn’t have any tattoos (at least any we can see) they’re great fun and can change up your look in an instant. So, what are you waiting for? Get sticking!
We’ve come to the end of our list of King's coronation costume ideas for the celebrations taking place early May. It’s a great excuse to get all your friends and family together for one big party so what are you waiting for? Whether you’re hosting indoors, outdoors, or joining a giant street party, dress up for the occasion and make it one to remember. Occasions like this (and bank holidays off work) don’t come around often!

If your friend is the type that doesn’t like to show off skin, unleash their body to the city with one of many styles of Mankini. Originally made famous by the Borat movie, these bold statement swimsuits leave nothing to the imagination and will generate a lot of attention in the bar; good or bad.
Go all out with high heels and make-up, dressing your stag as a glamorous drag queen, parading around the city centre and attracting plenty of whistles. It’s an event that he’ll never forget! Be careful though, they might enjoy dressing up in drag a little too much…
Is your buddy a big baby? Dress him to suit with a giant baby costume. He’ll hate the fact you’re playing on his misfortune and will look undeniably stupid parading through the streets of Prague. He’s going to hate you for it but at least you’ll all get plenty of laughs out of it, right?
Another popular choice for the grumpy groom is to paint over that frown with lipstick and transform him into a sailor girl, complete with a pigtail, stockings and all the accessories you can ‘borrow’ from your girlfriend.
Want the stag to stand out like…well…a giant penis? Dress him as one! These stag-do costumes come in all shapes and sizes, and they inflate so all you can see is his little face whilst he waddles along the streets.

Completely ridiculous and fitting for a friend that’s a massive t**, giving your mate a makeover as a giant breast is certainly an idea to make them stand out from the crowd. From go-karting and paintballing to a bar crawl, all stag-do activities will be a barrel of laughs with this stag-do costume favourite.
Demeaning and very silly for any husband-to-be to wear, bathroom inspired fancy dress will put him in deep ****. It’s a unique idea that not many people will think about and it’ll have your groom facepalming with embarrassment. Toilet paper anyone?
From behind, he’ll look like a beautiful catwalk glamour model, but turning around, he’ll be an unsuspecting shock to anyone! Transforming your stag into a Miss World model is hilarious for any stag activity or night out. Go all-out with plenty of makeup and a wig for the ultimate stag-do costume.
Pass your stag the pom pom’s and get them waving their arms and shaking their hips in a short skirt and pigtails. Cheerleaders turn up the energy in any room but will your friend do the same? Very doubtful, but at least it’ll generate plenty of chuckles and embarrassment for him. 
A somewhat saucy and rude but entertaining idea nonetheless, is to evolve your stag into a lady boy. It may be contentious but it’s a popular idea that will go down a storm! Laugh at your mates’ expense as he unintentionally offends random passers-by.
This is a stag-do costume that every pre-married man has nightmares of when he’s about to embark on his last night of freedom. Nothing is more humiliating and scarier than wearing a gimp suit in public and he’ll despise you for it! Choose this option for bad-taste and ultimate embarrassment.
We’re not talking a hunky male lifeguard costume that will have your stag looking like Zac Effron on Baywatch. Nope. This costume idea is all about dressing him as a female ‘Pamela Anderson’ style lifeguard, showing plenty of flesh and looking completely ridiculous!
When it comes to group fancy dress ideas for a stag party, the tactic is usually very different to dressing up the lone stag. The group would much rather look cool than the completely embarrassing solo look. Here’s a selection of quirky group costume ideas that are great for all budgets and squad sizes.
Everyone’s favourite plumbers are back in action and they’re hitting the town! Dressing as iconic characters Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi is a classic look that can’t be mocked, unless you want to dress the groom as Princess Peach?
If your stag-do is anticipated to contain copious amounts of drinking, challenges and bar games, how about dressing the whole team up as golfers and dabbling in a game of pub golf? Treat each bar as a ‘hole’ and score yourselves on how many gulps it takes to down a drink.
Being one of the most popular group stag-do costume ideas, you’ve probably seen hordes of blue men roaming city centre bars on weekends, and now you can do the same. Smurf fancy dress looks great and it’s easy (but messy!) to do.
Everyone has a favourite superhero and there’s enough choice of heroes for even the largest groups of stag-do attendees. Choose your best Marvel comic characters or go with quirky alternative ideas such as Banana-man.
“Vamos de fiesta!” (let’s party). Don your sombrero’s and ponchos and parade into the bar causing chaos. Mexican’s know how to party and there’ll be tequila flying around left, right and centre with this idea. Don’t forget the traditional ‘bandito’ moustache!
One of the latest fashion trends for stag parties is donning brightly coloured or wildly patterned smart suits and hitting the town in style. OppoSuits come in a variety of styles and colours so you can dress everyone the same or pick an iconic look for each of the squad members.

You’ll be looking the ‘biz fo sho!’

Imagine being the most popular girl in school, Dionne, alongside your best friend, Cher. They are the most talked about girls in school and everyone wants to be them.

Transform into diva’s Dionne or Cher and walk down your school corridor like a queen! This 90’s outfit idea is popular year-round, especially for Halloween!
We all remember this ‘oh so popular’ kid’s TV show back in the 90s. The Teletubbies were made up of a group of 4 alien-like creatures that were inspired by astronauts. Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La-la and Po were best of friends. They loved to eat tubby toast and custard! Looking back as adults, the show seems very strange, but we all loved it at the time.
