It's almost Eurovision time again and for those of you having a themed party there are an abundance of seriously awesome outfits you can consider. Over the years many acts have pulled out all the stops and taken to the stage in some jaw-dropping ensembles. With a little bit of ingenuity and flair you can recreate these show-stopping costumes for yourself!

Pop star fancy dress is the perfect theme for a Eurovision party and there are no bigger idols than favourites ABBA! In 1974 the Swedish pop group became winners with Waterloo and their Seventies fashions made almost as much impact as their singing.

Recreating this look isn't that hard, for the guys a 1970s disco suit can be tucked into kneeboots to create a knickerbocker effect and teamed with a ruffled disco shirt worn wide open at the collar. Top off your look with a blonde seventies guy wig and add a moustache accessory to create the perfect Bjorn or Benny!

For the ladies who want to wear glam rock fancy dress costumes and recreate Anni-Frid or Agnetha's look, a Seventies disco lady costume, Super Trooper costume or Dancing Queen in pink or blue satin will be an instant hit! Pair with a deluxe 24 inch blonde fringewig and white boot covers and go wild!

Grotesque and macabre they may have been, but Lordi won Eurovision in 2006, possibly because judges were scared of their wrath if they were not victorious. Check out the Halloween section for a Lordi costume and opt for a skeleton zombie outfit with a top hat and nylon stretch skull or ghoul mask. Some bloodshot contact lenses wouldn't go amiss with this look, complete with some zombie nails and punk studded bracelets - we guarantee you’ll have onlookers quaking in their boots!

In 1981 Bucks Fizz took to the stage and won with their song, Making Your Mind Up. In all the glorious technicolor of the Eighties, this foursome embodied wholesome youth until they whipped the girl's skirts off mid song!

To recreate this pop star fancy dress look is simple, guys simply need to don white pants,a la the captains' uniform, and pair with the height of fashion scouser shell suit top. The ladies need to opt for a brightly coloured pop skirt and top with a Charlie's Angels blonde wig and matching colourful shoes.

If you really want to push the boat out with glam rock fancy dress costumes then Irish pop duo Jedward are the one for you! Think Michael Jackson with extra sequins and you are on the right track. The lounge lizard jacket is the perfect choice and its best paired with some gold hairspray that can create a gelled coif the boy band is so popular for. A flashing bow tie adds authenticity and a gold microphone is the perfect finishing touch to your cheesy outfit. The question is now, have you made your mind up?
