About this deal

From the moment they walked into the limelight at the Eurovision song contest in Brighton in 1974, Abba proved they meant business—in music and in style. Swinging on the upbeat notes of “Waterloo” played by their other halves Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad appeared on stage in full 1970s glamour—Agnetha donning a cobalt blue bomber jacket in velour with matching satin pantaloons and sparkly cap; Anni-Frid wearing a swooshing, floor-sweeping skirt made of white and orange panels topped with a white jacket with large orange cuffs and collar. If you haven’t heard of the sensational pop group of the 70s, ABBA, you have missed out on some very peppy numbers. Here’s Agnetha, the main icon of ABBA back in the 70s showing some skin without the obnoxious touch, on a tour in Australia, in a two piece bikini. Wear them with bell bottom pants, hot pants, boyfriend shorts or even with long flowing skirts, keeping the midriff zone exposed for a sassy look!

With one performance they dazzled the public, brought home the title and began their implacable climb to the top of the international music charts. But wait, pub hoppers and PYTs whose parents have been the pub hoppers too, would know who ABBA is, and their sense of fashion too. This is one look that needs to come back with utmost bombing effects, because it not only accentuates the curves on a woman but brings out her glorious feminity and innocent charms too.From skinny scarves and embellished double denim to platform shoes and animal prints, Sandström revelled in all the major trends of the decade while stealing references from traditional attire—think Japanese kimonos, flamenco costumes and Swedish folk outfits—to create Abba's signature style. In celebration of their long-awaited comeback, Vogue looks back at their best fashion moments from the 1970s. White knee-length boots were a must-have in every fashionistas wardrobe back then, and the lighter in shade the better it was supposedly as a statement to make. It wasn’t just the music that made Abba one of the biggest phenomenons of the 1970s—the Swedish supergroup also knew how to dress big.

Our ABBA icon, Agnetha shows us how back then they would use a mix of shines and mattes in one shade to create oomphatic ABBA dress up ideas while performing live on stage! Mostly paired with long skirts or cotton bell bottoms, the look came complete with ankle length boots. We shall get back to hearing Mama Mia and planning our weekend ABBA dance parties, but for you, we request a line or two with comments on this post of how to dress up like ABBA! Most women preferred wearing formal onsie suits in white or black with tassels and frills on the arms, the wrists and at the ankles for the feminine touch to come through, and ABBA wasn’t backing out on the same lines too. Now what you choose to wear under this cape is entirely up to you but a pair of knee length disco boots in white or silver will make the outfit look spectacular.Under the name Artist Dressing and with his partner Lars Wigenius, he created some of the band's most memorable outfits and the group's tour costumes, including the triumph of spandex in shades of blue, purple and white designed for the 1979 tour, and Agnetha's white jumpsuit with ruffled trousers and sleeves, completed with an emerald green cape rimmed with white feathers for the 1974 European and North American tour.

If you want to emulate the same, a quirky star placed neatly on the bikini top is quite enough to oomph the simple sassy girl next door look.It covers the latest fashion trends, brand news, Bollywood fashion, seasonal trends, Lifestyle, beauty and much more. Earlier this year, the band announced a special TV appearance for autumn 2018, followed by a tour in 2019-2020 where they will appear as “Abbatars”, computer-generated versions of their younger selves—and possibly new stunning costumes.
