Costume ideas, please?

I’ve got an upcoming fancy dress party in a couple of months and the theme is Classic Movie (no further details, lol)

So for context, I’m nonbinary and spend most of my time rewatching tv shows or listening to podcasts or reading fanfiction about aforementioned media. I don’t really watch movies very often and when I do it’s usually for queer rep not to watch classic movies, really?

So bearing in mind I have short hair and look like Barney from Dead End: Paranormal Park (which is a tv series not a movie & probs not a classic yet, so I can’t just go as him T.T), does anyone please have any suggestions?

Some key criteria is that the venue is one that gets really hot and I also use a mobility aid (cane).

#some ideas so far:#captain shakespeare from stardust?#(though that one’s a bit tougher for public dysphoria reasons)#phantom of the opera?#jareth from labyrinth?
