Got a date for a 70s party? Turning up with a friend? Or maybe you plan to take the whole squad? Make a dramatic entrance with these options.

1. Sonny and Cher

Go to your 70s shindig as the ultimate power couple of the decade. Take a look at images of them from back in the day for inspiration, but if you go as they are in this picture, that best costume game prize has your names all over it.

2. John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Another couple so well known you only need to mention their first names to know who they are. Round glasses for him and a big hat for her, complete with any standard 70s staples of bell bottoms and white boots will complete the look for you both.

3. Forrest Gump and Jenny

Pair the men’s costume with this hippy dress for Jenny. Don’t forget the box of chocolates for Forrest and a flower crown for Jenny.

4. Danny and Sandy from Grease

No couple’s 70s costume list is complete without these two. Going on a double date? Have one couple dress as good Danny & Sandy when they met on the beach, and one as when they dressed in all black.

5. Good Sandy/Bad Sandy

Sticking with the Grease theme, this would be an awesome duo women’s costume if you’re turning up with your girlfriend. Who will be good and who will be bad?

6. The Blues Brothers

OK, so the film came out in 1980 but the SNL sketches and the Blues Brothers’ arc takes place in the 70s. Who’s Jake? Who’s Elwood? Flip a coin for it.

7. Mork & Mindy

The combination of a whacky Mork outfit and Mindy’s classic 70s flower dress is sure to be a winning costume for any aspiring 70s party couple.

8. Kiss

Glam the whole squad up by dressing as the legendary 70s rock band.

9. Mystery Inc

Otherwise, known as the Scooby Doo Gang. I don’t think any 70s costume party is complete without at least one of them making an appearance. You and a bunch of friends appearing as the whole crew would be hilarious!

10. The Brady Bunch

If there’s a whole bunch of you going then dressing up as the ultimate 70s bunch is surely a no brainer.
