While a lot of people will be dressing up as Dracula, Superman, Wolverine, Batman or Heath Ledger’s Joker, why not try something different and dress up as Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy. Anchorman the Legend of Ron Burgundy was unleashed upon the world in 2004, and things have never been quite the same. From memorable movie quotes to memes galore, Anchorman has had a huge influence on popular culture. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues was a sequel to the hugely successful Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy starring Will Ferrell. Exaggerating and spoofing the male-centered broadcast news world of 1980, the film is basically a hilarious rehashing of the original Anchorman movie. Christina Applegate, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner are all back reprising their major character roles.
Any decent Anchorman 2 costume will include clothes that were in style in the late 70s and early 80s. If you have any of your old disco clothes and polyester suits packed away in the attic, dig them out and you can effectively reproduce the look that is seen throughout the film.
Ron Burgundy’s outfit consists of the following elements:
*thick hair
*overgrown mustache
*Burgundy blazer
The two main characters, Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone, are married and co-anchors of a New York news network. Ron is resplendent in his powder puff blue polyester three-piece suit, shaggy mustache and thick, “big hair” coiff.
Of course, the super-wide, big-knot men’s tie of the 70s and 80s is in full effect. But actually, any late 70s or early 80s era three-piece suit or disco wear will identify you as the shallow and self-involved Ron Burgundy, as long as you deliver on the thick, dark brown mustache and head of hair.
Costume manufacturers knew they had to take care of all the aspiring Anchormen out there, so that’s why they produced this exclusive costume. Ron Burgundy is known for his hilarious and outlandish behavior. “I don’t know how to put this but I’m kind of a big deal. People know me. I’m very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. ” This is something Ron says in Anchorman and how you should introduce yourself while wearing this officially licensed Paramount Anchorman Costume.

Champ Kind (David Koechner) was the sportscaster sporting a 10 gallon cowboy hat in the original Anchorman movie, and he is back with the same persona in this film. He usually sports a gray, brown or black leisure jacket or polyester suit and white or black Stetson cowboy hat.
Think about what a chauvinistic “man’s man” sports broadcaster that owns a fried chicken store would wear in 1980, and that is Champ.
Brian Fantana is played by Paul Rudd, who has moved on from news reporting to become a famous cat photographer in Anchorman 2. He also sports a thick, bushy mustache, often times opting for a chest-bearing open shirt look under a leisure sport coat.
Brick Tamland is played by Steve Carrell, and actually appears in the film at his own funeral. Once again, watch news footage of late 70s and early 80s broadcasters, and dress accordingly. If you can add an extremely low IQ, you have Brick down pat.
