Fancy dress ideas

My grandson wants us all to dress up as characters from films for his 18th. Given us plenty of warning.

So, suggestions please of something suitable for elderly lady, on tubby size (14-16 but might endeavour to lose a few pounds). Nothing glamorous, comfortable but with a bit of flair. Recognisable character. NOT something that entails a full body suit eg bugs bunny or I will melt.

Mind blank, inspiration won’t come. Need your help.

Suggestions please.

Don't forget it's characters from films - not sure Boudicca is sufficiently well known as a film for example.

How about the LAUREN BACALL look? I wore wide black trousers, a sequinned jacket (charity shop) and a beret.

My daughter once dressed as Mrs Weasley from Harry Potter. A skirt and cardigan from a charity shop and she used a red spray on her hair. It looked very convincing when she put it all together.
