Who hasn’t watched at least one movie and loved the characters style so much that they’ve wished they could go out dressed like them? Cosplay is now hugely popular in Asia, America and Europe for this reason, with people finding ever more imaginative and intricate ways to dress up as their favourite movie characters.
Whether you feel like spending an evening as Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider or packing a six pack as the Flash, there are now so many movie costumes you are bound to be able to find something to suit your style.
The recent trend for superhero movies means that there are lots of instantly recognisable and fun costumes available right off the peg – The Flash, Suicide Squad, Batman, and Frozen are perennially popular options for fancy dress, and are also great for theme parties (room full of superheroes, anyone?). If you feel like something more classic, perhaps you could go for Zorro, or Morticia Addams. Ghostbusters is both retro and on trend, and great for guys or women. Guys are bound to have fun with a Star Wars theme, if the idea of having a houseful of Storm Troopers appeals to you, or you could look at the possibility of a 50’s film star night, with Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo as your guests.
Best of all, if you do go for a movie theme you can always opt for playing movies at the party and load up on movie night snacks such as popcorn, chips and candy. If you’re doing a particular movie theme, you could even get the food in on the act (love martini? James Bond could be your best option), with crazy superhero themed cakes, snacks and movie costumes like Captain America or Batman.
