If you have lovely white hair, perhaps style as Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth. Wear a "crown" and carry a handbag.

Bonus: a corgi or Paddington Bear.

Brilliant both ideas!

Cruella de Ville ? Long black dress, black and white boa, cheap black and white wig and something that looks like a long cigarette holder.

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.
