Titanic is still the most expensive movie ever made, with a staggering production budget of $200million, and holds the joint record for the most Academy Award wins with 11 trophies.
It remained the highest-grossing film of all time until Cameron’s own sci-fi flick Avatar surpassed it in 2010.
Meanwhile, Adele is no stranger to a costume party, always going all out for Halloween and her birthday – most memorably channeling Jim Carrey’s character from 1994 comedy The Mask, complete with prosthetics.
