Step Back into the 1990s
Relive the decade of chart-topping pop groups, Saturday morning television, blockbuster films and bold fashion with our collection of 1990s costumes. Whether you are dressing for a 90s themed party, school disco, birthday celebration or group night out, you will find nostalgic looks inspired by the music, films, television and trends that defined the era.
From colourful shell suits and neon rave outfits to famous film villains and officially licensed TV characters, our 90s fancy dress collection is packed with instantly recognisable costume ideas for adults and children.
90s Pop Star and Music Costumes
The 1990s gave us unforgettable girl groups, boy bands, Britpop stars and larger-than-life solo performers. Create a classic pop star look with bold dresses, statement wigs, double denim, tracksuits and colourful accessories, or coordinate your costumes for a brilliant 90s group theme.
For even more famous singers, performers and recognisable personalities, browse our British icon costumes. They are ideal for recreating some of the decade’s biggest music stars or putting together a mixed group of legendary British personalities.
90s TV and Cartoon Costumes
Children’s television became bigger, brighter and more action-packed during the 1990s. Transform into a colour-coded hero with our officially licensed Power Rangers costumes. Choose your favourite Ranger or assemble the whole team for an easy and instantly recognisable group costume.
Some classic cartoon characters also found a new generation of fans during the decade through television repeats, films and weekend viewing. Explore our officially licensed Flintstones costumes and Wacky Races costumes for nostalgic character looks that work brilliantly for couples, families and groups.
90s Film and Horror Costumes
The decade produced some of cinema’s most memorable heroes, villains and horror characters. One of the most recognisable is Ghost Face, whose long white mask became an enduring symbol of 1990s horror. Browse our officially licensed Scream and Ghost Face costumes for a chilling look that remains a favourite for Halloween, horror parties and 90s themed events.
Other popular ideas include dinosaur costumes, black-suited secret agents, gothic characters, superheroes, cartoon favourites and cult movie costumes. Add a mask, wig or prop to make your chosen character even easier to recognise.
90s Rave, Shell Suit and Fashion Costumes
You do not need to dress as a specific celebrity or character to create a convincing 90s costume. The decade was known for neon colours, oversized sportswear, shell suits, crop tops, bucket hats, bum bags, checked shirts and double denim.
Go bright and colourful with a 90s rave costume, recreate a classic hip-hop look with a tracksuit and gold accessories, or embrace grunge with ripped jeans and a checked shirt. These outfits are particularly useful for last-minute parties because they can be completed with simple accessories and bold styling.
90s Group Costume Ideas
The 1990s is one of the best decades for group fancy dress. Friends can arrive as a pop group, a team of Power Rangers, cartoon characters, horror villains or a collection of famous British icons. Couples can coordinate as classic film or television characters, while families can create a full Flintstones group.
For an easy themed look, choose matching shell suits, neon rave costumes or recognisable 90s accessories. A shared colour palette or theme will make the group feel coordinated without everyone needing to wear the same costume.
What Should You Wear to a 90s Themed Party?
A great 90s costume should be bold, nostalgic and easy to recognise. Think pop stars, TV heroes, horror icons, cartoon characters, shell suits, rave clothing, sportswear and oversized accessories. The best choice is usually a character or trend that people can identify as soon as you walk into the room.
Whether you remember the decade first-hand or simply love its films, music and television, our 1990s costumes make it easy to find a look for your next themed party. Complete your outfit with wigs, masks, sunglasses, jewellery and other fancy dress accessories, then get ready to party like it is 1999.
