The Brothers Grimsby is another Sacha Baron Cohen classic compounded with the hilarous comedic timing of Rebel Wilson. This is a fun costume for brothers – you’ll just have to toss coins to see who gets to wear the better costume (which is better is arguable). It can also be a fun couple costume for Nobby and Dawn.

Dress up as Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen)

This is a very fun costume to piece together. You have two options – the one where you show your, er, “whole package” and the one where you’re fully clothed

The essential Nobby costume pack:

	Wig with Bangs The first piece is that really weird hairstyle. You can get a wig with bangs like this one, then cut up the bangs so they are a bit shorter. Make sure to make the cut uneven!
	Bushy Eyebrows You can shade your eyebrows thicker with an eyebrow pencil, or you can buy this set of eyebrows to make it extra quirky. Get the one in the middle
	Mutton Chops / Sideburns To make it extra goofy, sport some mutton chops
	Fake Belly A belly is absolutely necessary. If you already have one, congrats!
	Chain Necklace Whether you’re going for costume option 1 or option 2, you’ll need to sport a gold chain necklace
	Toy Gun Carry a toy gun with you

	Dark Gray Turtleneck Sweater For the first option, wear a dark gray turtleneck sweater, which you can actually use again on a normal occasion

Dress up as Nobby Option 2

	White Shirt I couldn’t find the exact shirt Sacha wore but any sporty collared top with an England emblem should carry the look across well enough.
	White Shirt (Alternative) Here’s another option for the shirt.
	Loose Dark Blue Denim Shorts Wear a pair of long denim shorts in a very loose fit
	Adidas Sandals He seems to be sporting the very distinct Adidas design sandals. Wear ankle white socks
	White Bandage Wear white bandage over your right hand like he did in the photo

Dress up as Sebastian Graves (Mark Strong)

Sebastian is the younger, more well-dressed, and overachieving (best MI6 agent anyone?) brother of Nobby. He sports the usual British spy attire. You will need to go to the costume party with Nobby otherwise nobody will be able to tell who you are portraying.

	Bald Cap Self explanatory
	Black Turtleneck Zip Sweater His first outfit is a black zip cardigan, with what looks like a cable-knit texture
	Black Leather Jacket Optional: wear a leather jacket over your zip sweater
	Dark Gray Cargo Pants Wear a pair of dark gray cargo pants and you’re done.
	Black Turtleneck Top His other outfit similarly has a black turtleneck top
	Blue Suit This time, he finishes off with a dapper suit

Dress up as Dawn Grobham (Rebel Wilson)

Dawn wears a couple of different outfits in the movie but my favorite has to be that pineapple tank top – Union Jack pants combination. It is such a fun outfit to pull off!

	Blonde Wig Sport a blonde wig
	Pineapple Tank Top This is where you can choose your favorite pineapple top. I love this because the pineapple also sports a pair of sunglasses like the one Dawn wore.
	British Flag / Union Jack Leggings Finish off with a pair of leggings in a fun Union Jack print
	Cheetah Print Bra Bonus item: You can wear this under your pineapple tank top for added detail
