- Did your costume party go well, Lola? - Yes, everyone had a great time. - What did your guests wear? - Everyone found the perfect costume. For example, my friend Sophie wore a colourful pirate costume. My parents dressed up as Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. Even my grandma was there! - Did she have a costume? - Yes, she was wearing a long black velvet dress and a white pearl necklace, like Audrey Hepburn. - What an elegant idea! I will not miss your next costume party.
