Fancy Dress Outfits Starting with the Letter F

Cool Costumes Beginning with F

Fairy – a classic little girls costume, but there’s also costumes for grown ups as well – I especially think men can dress up as the tooth fairy after the Rock’s performance!
Fairy Godmother
Fame character – go back to the 80s with leg warmers, leotards and off the shoulder shirts
Fat B**stard – A character from Austin Powers, I seem to know a lot of people who enjoy talking like the Fat B**stard so I’m sure they’d love to dress up as him as well.
Father Christmas
Father Time – Wear long robes for this costume, some people depict him in white robes while others show him in black robes, what all costumes show is a big timepiece hanging around his neck.
FBI officer – wear the standard issue black suit and look like a fed or wear regular clothes and just flash your badge if you want to be an undercover agent, just don’t forget to talk into your watch and wear an ear piece.
Fester Addams aka Uncle Fester – Uncle Fester, the Addams Family hasn’t been on air for years and yet they’re all instantly recognizable.
Fiona (Shrek)
Fireman
Fisherman – you can dress up in yellow wet weather gear as though you’re a trawler fisherman or else you can wear waders and carry a bag with a few feathers on hooks on it (along with a fishing rod that is) and say you’re a trout fisherman.
Flamenco Dancer
Flamingo
Flapper – there are lots of different Flapper outfits to choose from as well as loads of fun accessories from headbands to long beads, boas or cigarette holders. I love the fashions of the 1920s which is why I love all of the flapper outfits. Check out a whole selection on this page – 1920s Style Flapper Halloween Costumes.

DC Comics Deluxe Muscle Chest The Flash

Flash (The) – This superhero has probably gained an even bigger success thanks to the small screen success of the Big Bang Theory where he’s one of Sheldon’s favorite fancy dress outfits.
Flight attendant
Florence Nightingale – a British nurse from the time of the Crimea war Florence Nightingale is seen as the founder of modern nursing. The outfit you need for this is very much like that of a Victorian scullery maid, including the cap, although rather than the white cotton caps worn by maids, Florence Nightingale’s one was more of a white lace cap. She was known as the lady of the lamp as she would check on her patients at night so getting a lamp to carry would be a great prop for this costume.
Flower – A flower is a great costume for if you want a DIY project. Simply wear green for the stem, add face paint the color you want the middle of the flower head to be and then attach the petals around your face (I would use a piece of elastic to run under your chin and over your head. The petals could be made from tissue paper to cardboard or even fabric.
Flower Pot Men – Bill and Ben from the old British cartoon.
Flower Power Hippie – embrace your inner 60s child with a ‘peace man’ attitude and flowers in your hair! A little outside of the box thinking again for a cool costume idea.
Fly
Flying Monkey from Wizard of Oz
Football – I’ve actually seen costumes for sale for both an NFL football and a soccer ball, both of which do look like a bit of fun.
Footballer – American footballer from your favourite team or a soccer player the choice is yours.
Fork – I have seen a fork costume which I think is just priceless

Fortune Teller Costume

Fortune Teller
Fox
Fox Hunter
Foxxy Cleopatra (Austin Powers)
Frank n Furter (Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Frankenstein
Frankenstein’s Bride
Frankie Stein – a Monster High costume idea, Frankie Stein was one of the original characters from the range.
Fred (from Scooby Doo) – Although Fred wasn’t my favourite Scooby character he is still from a cartoon that I loved growing up. It really seems to have struck a chord across generations as my father loved it, I loved it and my daughter loved it!
Fred Astaire
Fred Flintstone – The main character from the lovable Hanna-Barbera cartoon, The Flintstones.
Freddie Mercury
Freddy Krueger
French Maid
Frenchie (from Grease)
Friar Tuck
Frodo Baggins – a hobbit from Lord of the Rings
Frog
Fruit – there’s lots of different fruit costumes from apples to limes and more so you can just dress up as your favourite and if anyone says that oranges start with O, you can simply tell them you’re Fruit which starts with F …….. and then start planning an O party so you can re-use your costume!
Fuzzy Dice

List of Costumes Beginning with B

Baby – all you need is to make what looks like an oversized diaper and a large baby bottle and you’re good to go. Alternatively, you can actually buy baby costumes that consists of a large stretch and go (much warmer for winter parties or Halloween.
Baby Doll – Baby Doll is one of the stars of the cult movie Sucker Punch and when I saw the movie I just knew that these costumes would be a hit! Baby Doll isn’t the only character that begins with B, there’s also Blondie as well and you can check them both out on my Sucker Punch Costumes post.
Baby Spice – The Spice Girls may no longer be together, but they were a force to be reckoned with and their costumes are still instantly recognizable. You can check out the Baby Spice costume on my Spice Girls Costumes post.
Ballet Dancer – a leotard, tutu and ballet slippers are all you need for this costume to work.
Ballroom Dancer – if you’re going to the event as a couple you can dress up as ballroom dancing partners, one in a suit, the other a ballgown and make sure that you have numbers on your back for the judges to score you.
Banana – the banana costumes that are available to buy are a really fun costume that draws everyone’s attention, although I have been known to ask people wearing such costumes if they can turn into a banana daiquiri for me……..I’m probably not the first person to ask that which could become tiresome!
Bandido
Bank Robber
Barbarella
Barbie
Barney – everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur, make sure you know a few of Barney’s songs if you choose this outfit!
Barney Rubble – Who doesn’t love the Flintstones? I know most people think of Fred and Wilma when the Flintstones are first mentioned, but I do have a soft spot for Barney myself! I feel I should add a warning with this costume….a friend of ours attended a fancy dress party about 20 years ago dressed as Barney Rubble and is still called Barney by just about our entire circle of friends! I’m sure that’s an isolated case though
Barney Stinson – If you’ve ever watched How I Met Your Mother you’ll know that the star of the show (in my opinion anyway) is Barney Stinson and it just so happens to start with the letter B! Barney Stinson coined the phrase ‘suit up’ and all you need to dress up as Barney is to dress in a suit and tie and memorize a few Barneyisms to sprinkle through your conversations throughout the night………oh and you’ll need short, tidy hair!
Barrister – black robes and a wig will make you look quite distinguished, but I’d make sure to add a big law book and a pair of glasses to really pull off this costume idea.
Bart Simpson – an absolutely classic costume
Bass Head Trophy – when I first came across this costume online I absolutely fell in love with it and think it’s one of the best B costumes around, check it out below.
Bat
Bat Girl
Batman

Costume Accessory: Trophy Head Bass Mask Women’s Dc Comics Superhero Batgirl Bodysuit Batman The Dark Knight Rises Batman Costume

Baywatch – you can get official Baywatch costumes for both male and female lifeguards, both are equally recognizable to any fan of the show.
Bear
Beast – from Beauty and the Beast fame, you could come on your own or with a partner dressed as Belle for the ultimate ‘B’ list couple!
(The) Beatles – There are a number of different costumes available of the Beatles from their tidy haircuts and suits days to the Sgt Pepper days, a great group costume idea.
Bee
Beefeater – did you know that the Beefeaters were first formed in Tudor times and that their costumes haven’t really changed in all of that time? My Tudor costume page actually features one for you.
Beer – always a favorite amongst my hubby’s friends, but there are actually quite a few different beer options available to choose from.

Rasta Imposta Beer Pint Costume, Gold, One Size Rasta Imposta Lightweight Beer Bottle Costume FunWorld Men’s Beer Keg Costume, Silver, One Size

Beer Wench – for anyone that’s attended Oktoberfest these are the ‘maids’ that are carrying your beers to you.
Beetlejuice – a classic 80s character, if you dressed up in this suit anyone who’s seen the movie would instantly know who you were and what a fun costume it is too!
Bellboy
Belle – If Belle is your favorite Disney princess then this is the excuse you need to dress up as her, alternatively this could be a great couples costume with the Beast.
Belly Dancer – This is a lovely costume for a female with a great figure OR a man who’s up for a laugh……imagine one of the guys you know wearing this it would be the talk of the party, but you’d need a confident person to carry it off.
Ben Hur
Benedictine Monk
Betty Rubble – Barney’s lovely wife Betty is a lovely costume and if you’re going to a party as a couple then you could go as Barney and Betty Rubble.
Beyonce
Big Bad Wolf – Fancy being the bad guy at the party? The big bad wolf is the biggest bad guy in the fairy tale books, ‘my how big your teeth are Grandma….’This costume idea (from Little Red Riding Hood) is awesome although you may end up saying ‘all the better to eat you’ all night, but that could be fun as it’s certainly an ice breaker!
Big Game Hunter
Biker
Bishop
Black Swan – a dramatic ballerina costume idea based on the movie of the same name, if you want to use this costume idea then be sure to check out YouTube for makeup tutorials as Natalie Portman’s make-up in the movie really pulled the look together.
Bloody Costume Section – There are lots of different ideas for this from the Bloody Bride, Bloody Doctor, Bloody Surgeon or more. You could even just wear an old outfit of your own with fake blood over it and call yourself a bloody car crash victim.
Blues Brothers
Bluto – if you’re stuck on an idea and you’re running out of time then grab a sheet and wear it like a toga, just like Bluto in the movie Animal House.
Bo Peep

Bollywood Actress Costume Men’s Bishop Costume Bonnie Parker Costume

Bob the Builder
Bollywood Star
Bonnie Parker – of Bonnie and Clyde fame; dress up in 1930s fashion and carry a handgun (a pretend one, it is a party you’re going to after all).
(A) Box – the easiest of all costumes, just pop yourself in a box!
Boxer
Boy George – a classic 80s costume idea, you can find a ready-made Boy George costume on my 80s Costumes Ideas for Men, alternatively, you just need dreadlocks, makeup and a long duster coat!
Brave
Braveheart
Bride – you can go as a classic bride, an undead bride, Bride of Chucky or Bride of Frankenstein
Britannia – I don’t think that there’s an actual Britannia costume so you could wear a Union Jack dress and call yourself Britannia or you could wear a long robe with a Roman-style helmet, trident and Union Jack shield as a cross between the British warrior queen, Boadicea and a goddess of war with a little nod to Britain with the Union Jack. If you can’t get a Union Jack shield then just use a plain shield, but have the Union Jack like a cape essentially a British superhero!
Britney Spears
Buccaneer – a buccaneer is essentially another name for a pirate so if you need more inspiration then check out my pirate costume page.
Buddha
Buddy Holly
Buddy the Elf
Buffalo Bill
Bugs Bunny
Bumblebee
Bunny
Bunny Girl – this is a very easy costume to pull off in fact my father managed to pull this off for a party when I was a teenager, I remember because I had to help him paint his nails red! Simply wear a leotard with bunny ears and a white cottontail on your bottom. Wear high heels and walk with a wiggle!
Burglar – as a last-minute costume this is a good one, dark clothes and a ski mask is all you’ll need.
Burlesque Babe
Butler
Butterfly
Buzz Lightyear
