This is a great group costume option and so easy. Everyone can represent a different Bond film. Gold eyeshadow – Goldeneye, glue old pennies to your trousers, skirt or dress – Miss Moneypenny, fake grill – Jaws, piece of cardboard – Timothy Dalton. Easy.

Some rock stars take little effort, just choose their most iconic feature and go with it. For example, for Courtney Love, smear your lipstick, tussle your blonde hair, don a nightdress and tiara and there you go. You may get mistaken for the living dead; perfect. If the rock star is dead, then rock star zombie it is!
