I Love Lucy Costumes

I Love Lucy costumes are perfect as couples costumes or as a group costume. And since Lucy, Ricky, Ethel, and Fred are some of the most loved TV characters of all time, everyone will love you in these costumes!

Ricky & Lucy Ricardo Costumes

Lucy is very ambitious and always scheming to get into show business. She’s creative in her methods even if they don’t usually work.

Lucy’s style was very 50’s housewife. Find a dress in that style with a polka-dot print and some cute shoes. The most important part of this look is Lucy’s hair. If you have red hair, style it like hers. If you don’t have red hair, pick up an I Love Lucy Adult Wig.

Ricky is an up-and-coming Cuban American singer and bandleader with an excitable personality. His patience is frequently tested, sometimes to the breaking point, by his wife's antics. When exasperated, he often reverts to speaking rapidly in Spanish.

Ricky’s style was classic and he almost exclusively wore single-color suits with a white shirt and tie. So guys, pull out the suit, slick your hair back, and work on your Spanish!

Fred & Ethel Mertz Costumes

Ethel is Lucy's best friend, confidante and accomplice in her crazy schemes. She often tries to reason with Lucy, providing common sense advice that doesn’t always work. 

Ethel’s style was also classic 50’s housewife. So find a dress, set your hair like hers and you’re ready to be Ethel!

Fred served in World War I and lived through the Great Depression. He is very stingy with money and a very no-nonsense type of guy but is really a big softie at hear.

Fred’s style was a little more zany than Ricky’s. He stuck to suits also but usually with a pinstripe or a check. You might want to hunt in the thrift stores to find a Fred suit.
