Halloween costume inspiration: Dancing Queens and historical ones too...

If Halloween is just the excuse you need to dress up in a fabulous costume, you'll love this selection of colourful outfits from musicals and period drama movies.

Mamma Mia movie costumes

If you're an ABBA (and sequins) fan you'll love these original costumes worn in Mamma Mia: The Movie by the likes of Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Julie Walters and Pierce Brosnan, for the big musical number at the end of the movie.

If 1970's Europop fashion is not your style, what about the Parisian showgirl glamour of the Folies Bergere.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age costume

If you'd prefer something more regal this Halloween, what about recreating this dress worn by Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

The Duchess movie costumes

If the 16th Century style of Queen Elizabeth I is not to your taste, what about the exquisite wedding dress of another lady of royalty this time from 18th Century England, Georgiana Cavendish, The Duchess of Devonshire (as worn by Keira Knightley in the movie The Duchess).

Alice in Wonderland Hatter women costumes

If you don't feel confident enough to play a Queen, what about one of the royal court, like these quirky Hatter women costumes from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Giselle's Enchanted curtain dress

And finally, if you're a Disney fan and want to be a fairytale princess this Halloween season, what about grabbing some fabric and running up this fun curtain dress, as worn by Amy Adams in Enchanted.
