Oops! Left costume planning to the last minute? Whether you’re flying in from afar or you’re a local caught up in the city's hustle, we all know the Hong Kong Sevens comes with legendary costumes.

We’ve pinpointed the best spots to source a look that’ll have everyone in the South Stand doing double-takes (in a good way…). From Dune’s Arrakis (desert-chic with a sci-fi twist) to Barbie & Ken duos (yes, you are Ken-ough) – nothing sets the tone for your day at the stadium better than a costume.

And while we're all about making a statement, we’re big believers in upcycling what we have hiding in the back of our closets, and saying no to single-use where possible. Bonus points to any creative eco-warriors out there who come wearing natural materials. We’re also calling in your boldest retro looks (time to reuse those coloured sunnies and butterfly hair clips) – it will be the perfect way to celebrate our 30th birthday at the beloved Hong Kong stadium.
