The Blues Brothers
ShareBorrow your husband’s formal wear (his extra suit, not his go-to), and accessorize with a fedora and dark glasses.
Princess Leia

Princess Bride

Madonna

Joan Jett
ShareLook as tough as they come, with the rockstar clothes to match. Optional: Bring another dime for the jukebox, baby
Indiana Jones

Ghostbusters
ShareIf bustin’ makes you feel good, slap on a proton pack and beige jumpsuit
