If you want to be simply the best dressed person at a fancy dress party, then why not try this gorgeous, shiny Tina Turner dress featured above? If you're going to an 80s or pop star themed party then this costume is ideal but it can, of course, be used for other fancy dress events.
Although I have linked to the U.S. Amazon store, the costume is not available here, sadly, although you will find a range of wigs and a couple of suitable dresses. However, there are costumes available on ebay, and the prices are very decent. This link will work in any English speaking country.

However, Tina was a big fan of red fringe dresses which I remember her wearing, and you can easily create an authentic look using a red flapper dress,
