The Columbia costume is one of the most popular outfits worn to Rocky Horror fancy dress parties and also makes a great original Halloween costume. The outfit consists of a gold sequin tailcoat, a matching soft fabric gold sequin top hat, a red sequin bow tie, a multi-coloured sequin boob-tube and a pair of multi-coloured striped shorts.

Columbia is one of the main characters in the 1975 British musical comedy film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which parodies science fiction and B-movie horror films. The film was directed by Jim Sharman and based on the British musical stage production, The Rocky Horror Show, by Richard O'Brien.

Columbia, played by Australian actress Nell Campbell, is one of the attendees at the "Annual Transylvanian Convention". She is a groupie, a tap-dancer and a self-proclaimed lover of Frank n Furter, the lead character in the film, played by Tim Curry.

You can find a range of Rocky Horror fancy dress outfits, including the sexy Columbia costume, at specialist websites online. However, if you really want your Columbia costume to look the part, then you are going to have to purchase some cool accessories.

Below are four must-have accessories to help make your Columbia costume look awesome.

Columbia wig

If you only decide to buy one accessory to go with your outfit, then this is the obvious choice. This deluxe Rocky Horror Picture Show auburn wig has been created especially to complete the Columbia costume. Please note that you should also purchase a wig cap to go with the Columbia wig for maximum comfort.

A pair of sexy tights

A pair of fishnet tights or sheer nylon tights with black opaque stripes will not only add to the look of your outfit, but will also help you feel less exposed.

Black patent shoes

As with many fancy dress outfits it is vitally important to get the right type of footwear. A pair of black patent shoes with chunky heels and a metallic buckle detail are just perfect to complete the look of your costume.

Rocky Horror Show make-up kit

The deluxe Rocky Horror Picture Show make-up kit is the final piece in the jigsaw to create your Columbia outfit. The kit includes a make-up stick, a greasepaint make-up palette, a brush and sponge combination stick, sponges, glitter, luscious red lipstick and of course an instruction booklet with all the information you will need to know to create the look of your favourite Rocky Horror character.

So where can you get these accessories for your sexy Columbia costume?

The Rocky Horror Fancy Dress section of Fancy Dress UK features all the different accessories needed to complete your sexy Columbia costume.
