If you are going to a 70’s costume party a great costume to go for is a Charlies Angels costume. You can either base your costume on the original angels from the 1970’s TV series or if you want a more up to date look base your costume on one of the gorgeous girls from the 2000 movie starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. Whichever era you prefer to go for Charlies Angels costumes are totally fun and easy to put together.
Whatever costume you choose make sure you wear it with a pair of killer stilettos and get yourself a plastic gun to accessorise as you are becoming a P.I. after all. If you have two girlfriends you can go with you could make a perfect costume trio by each choosing one of the three characters to dress as.
If you are basing your costumes on Cameron, Drew and Lucy in the most recent Charlies Angels movie you can get three different colour wigs to match their different hair colours. There are loads of great wigs available to buy online, varying in price from very cheap, fun wigs to top-end prices for very realistic looking wigs.
The most basic costumes you can go for is to all wear black flares and a black top with a wig and heels. If you want to be a bit more adventurous watch the movie and pick out an outfit from a scene, such as Cameron in her white bikini (for the very brave, if the weather is hot!).
If you want to stick to the original 70’s look there are loads of fab 70’s style costumes available to buy online or in the shops. You could wear flares or a jumpsuit, a 70’s flick wig and some big shades. Make sure your make-up matches though with 70’s colours and glitter, and even some long false eye lashes.
There are loads of other 70’s costumes you could wear too, and accessorise with platform boots, and don’t forget a gun. If you want to pay tribute to the legendary Farrah Fawcett, who has recently sadly passed away, you could go as her character Jill Munroe. Whatever costume you wear make sure you get the hair right in the style that Farrah made so popular, even to this day.
To get some ideas it would be great fun to go and watch some old episodes of Charlies Angels, whichever character you prefer. You can buy DVDs of the series or you could google search some Charlies Angels images to see photos of the girls at work as private investigators.
