Deciding what to dress up as for Halloween can be hard, but coming up with the perfect costume idea for you and your best friend, significant other, or partner can be nearly impossible. If our catalog of celebrity Halloween costumes past has left you wanting, fret no longer: This year, we’ve decided to make things a little easier for you by pulling together 28 of the most iconic pop culture duos across television and film. Before you RSVP to all those Halloween parties, take a look at our couples costume ideas below.
This cowboy pair is sure to inspire couples costumes of varying degrees of accuracy, but extra points go to anyone who can rustle up a convincing fake horse (or a real one, if you’ve somehow got access to such things). Going as this celesbian pop-singer pair requires essentially the same costumes that one (or two) might wear to portray Bette and Tina from The L Word , albeit with a fun Gen Z twist. All you need to impersonate perhaps the most powerful celebrity couple out there is a Chiefs jersey, a blonde wig cut to Swift’s exact hair length, and a convertible to drive away from the big game in.
The J.Lo of the pair should dress in Hamptons-appropriate summer whites , while the Ben will clearly need a faux hawk and a Red Hot Chili Peppers tee. To really achieve couples-costume verisimilitude, break up halfway through the Halloween party.
This one is for the lesbians among us only! Time to put that age-gap relationship to good use on Halloween eve—assumin.
