    lara croft is quite simple, cheap and easy- but very effective! i had a hollywood theme party for my birthday and lots of ideas came from that. erm there was me as velma kelly from chicago, lara croft, marylin monroe, galadriel from lotr, holly golightly from breakfast at tiffany's, tinkerbell, kate beckinsale in pearl harbour.

    easiest ever...and very chic....uma thurman in pulp fiction. = oversized white button down shirt, black slightly flared trousers. platform heels. cheap black bob wig. cigarette in hand (smoking optional). excepting the wig...its just a bunch of regular wardrobe staples.

    How about the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz. All you need is a black outfit with a cape, a witch hat and some green face paint.

    Sally Bowles (black vest top, black shorts, simple stockings/cut up an old pair of tights, you can get cheap bowler hats if you look)

    Baby Jane (White nightdress, overapplication of eyeliner, cheap nasty wig)

    Marilyn's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes costume?

    This needs effort, but very cheap and fun (imo anyway) get a skin tone leotard and those see-through tights and glue Ann Summer's fabric rose petals all over them a la Angela from American Beauty :awesome:
