ABBA costume ideas

ABBA Costume Ideas for a Dazzling Group Look

An ABBA costume is built around three things: a jumpsuit or wrap dress in a bold colour, flared trousers or platform-style layering, and disco-era accessories like star sunglasses and a sequin hat. Get those three right and the group reads as ABBA the moment you walk in. Below are the pieces that make up a proper group look, split by who's dressing and what job each item does.

How to get the look: start with a printed dress or a disco outfit for the main colour, add sunglasses and jewellery to finish the look, then layer in a poncho, beret or leg warmers if you want extra sparkle without a full costume change.

Women's ABBA outfits

The two women in ABBA wore contrasting prints and colours rather than matching, so pick different outfits for each person rather than buying the same dress twice.
