Mamma mia, here we go again! If you're joining us on our coach trip to Mamma Mia! The Party at London’s iconic O2 Arena, it's only right to look the part. Channel your inner dancing queen (or disco king!) with an outfit worthy of the Swedish pop legends themselves. Whether you go full-on flares or just a hint of sparkle, dressing up is half the fun—and we’re here to help you do it in style.
What’s the ABBA Look?
Think 1970s glam with a side of Eurovision sparkle. ABBA’s iconic style included:
- Flares (the wider, the better)
- Platform boots (prepare to strut)
- Sequins, metallics and satin
- Bold prints and bright colours
- Flowy sleeves and jumpsuits
- And of course… glitter, glitter, glitter!
Whether you're going for full-on Björn or low-key Agnetha, there’s no wrong way to do it—just more fabulous ways.
