80’s Blondie Fancy Dress Costume Ideas

Debbie Harry was really big in the 80s and was probably best known as Blondie. I’m sure you remember her song Call Me. If you are going to an 80s fancy dress party then the Blondie look is a great way to go. Debbie Harry was every man’s fantasy back in the 80s so if you are looking for some well deserved attention at your 80s fancy dress party then this really is a great look to choose.

In order to achieve the Debbie Harry look for your 80s fancy dress party the first thing you will need to concentrate on is your hair. If you don’t already have blonde hair then you might want to buy an 80s wig to get the hairstyle right. Your 80s wig should be blonde, full and slightly punk. You can buy 80s wigs from most fancy dress shops but make sure to tell them exactly what you are looking for. If you are buying online it will be much easier as you will be able to see the pictures of the wigs and most online shops will allow you to select by a person’s name too so you know you will be getting the right one.

The next thing that you will need to focus on is your makeup. Debbie Harry had very heavy eye makeup and bright red lips. She also wore blusher to create strong blush lines. To get this look with your blush it is a good idea to hold something straight across your cheek and then apply your blusher very heavily above it. This will give you the distinct line of blush on your cheeks which is very 80s.

For your clothes you will need something slinky like a nice party dress. It should be elegant and fun to wear. If you take a look at some photos of Debbie Harry during her Blondie years this will give you some excellent ideas. If you are going to for a party dress then don’t forget that you will need some stilettos to match. If you opt for one of her other famous outfits such as skinny jeans you will need some ankle boots. A good fancy dress shop will have a wide range of outfits that will match what you are looking for and if you are shopping online all you have to do is select 80s fancy dress costumes and do a search from there.
Some of the most frequent colours worn by Debbie Harry were black, red and yellow.

One of the best ways to get you in the 80s fancy dress mood is to listen to some Blondie music. Heart of Glass is a good option.
