Rocky Horror fancy dress costumes

Rocky Horror fancy dress costumes seem to be an ever present fixture at Halloween and other costume parties throughout the year. Richard O’Brien’s hit musical followed by the film adaptation, directed by Jim Sharman, have achieved a huge cult following over the years, so it really should be no surprise at all why the Rocky Horror fancy dress costumes have become so popular.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the story of a newly engaged couple who find themselves with a flat tyre on a cold and rainy night. They go to a nearby castle, in the hope that they can use the phone to call for help, and discover a group of strange and outrageous people who are holding an Annual Transylvanian Convention.

Of course, the original outrageous outfits played an important part in both the stage production and the film and so it is easy to see why they would be so successful in making the transition to fancy dress. Those hardcore Rocky Horror fans that regularly go to the shows, often go dressed up as one of the main characters. However, with so many intriguing characters to choose from, it can certainly be difficult to decide just who to go as.

Below are four great Rocky Horror fancy dress costumes from the hit show to help you make up your mind.

Frank N Furter Costume

Frank N Furter costumes are usually based around a glittery, sleeveless bodice with a lace-up section at the front, made from a sparkly black lurex material. The Frank N Furter outfits also come with a pair of elasticated panties, with inbuilt suspenders and a pair of fishnet stockings.

Magenta Costume

Magenta outfits are usually based around a black velvet-feel dress with an attached pinafore and collar. The dress is hem finished and includes an elasticated waistband for a comfortable fitting. The Magenta outfits also come with a white headpiece, which is attached to the head with an elastic strap.
