Scroll through all the couple’s Halloween costumes below to find the one that best speaks to your relationship!
1. Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan From the “Please, Please, Please” Music Video
2024’s favorite couple, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan, broke the internet with Sabrina’s “Please, Please, Please” music video. Not only are the lyrics of begging a man not to embarrass you (unfortunately) incredibly relatable, but their combined style provides the perfect outfit inspiration. You can channel the look with her iconic curtain bangs, a fluffy pink coat, and Barry’s black button-up.
2. Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked
The new Wicked movie isn’t even out yet, but it’s already the center of so many pop culture conversations. From the on-set romance drama to the insane vocals and set design teased in the trailer, the buzz is real. The hype will only grow when it finally hits theaters. Brush up on your vocals and grab some green face paint to nail this fantastic costume.
3. Kate and Tyler from Twisters
If you left the Twisters theater with a new celebrity crush and an urge to blast country music, we get it. While snagging some face time with Glen Powell may be challenging, you can always force your partner to dress up as him for Halloween. Plus, if a tornado rolls in, you’ll be ready to chase it in style.
4. Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid as Deadpool and Wolverine
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman took the internet by storm with their Deadpool and Wolverine press tour, but Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid stole the spotlight with their stunning premiere look. While Deadpool and Wolverine costumes will be everywhere this year, this costume idea is for those who want to pay homage to the film with a more unique take. Roll out the red carpet and recreate this look with your bestie for a costume that’s sure to be a fan favorite.
5. Emma and Dexter from One Day
Netflix owes everyone who watched One Day a free therapy session, but re-writing that tragic ending into a fun Halloween costume is the next best thing. This costume is simple, quick to assemble, and a nod to one of 2024’s most heart-wrenching shows. Transform into one of the year’s best fictional couples with just a few pieces.
6. Charli XCX and Billie Eilish From the “Guess” Music Video
If you’re still mourning the end of brat summer, this costume is the perfect way to seamlessly transition the album into fall. The internet loves nothing more than pop girlies joining forces, especially when it involves icons like Charli and Billie. This couple’s costume is simple to put together, and if you can find a way to roll down a giant pile of bras and underwear like they do in the music video, you’ll really bring the vision to life.
7. Usher and Alicia Keys from Super Bowl LVIII
We’re still not over Usher bringing out Alicia Keys at the Super Bowl earlier this year, and for good reason. Their undeniable stage chemistry made it an unforgettable performance. Recreate this iconic duo, and you’ll have a solid excuse to take over the party playlist and play all their hits.
8. Olympics Gymnastics Team
The U.S. Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team stole the show, our hearts, and the gold in Paris this year. While it’s honestly devastating that we have to wait until 2028 to see them compete again, Halloween is the perfect time to pretend you’re part of the team. No gold-medal skills are required, but if you can nail a cartwheel, it’ll make the look even better.
9. Lydia and Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice
With the highly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel on the way, this is the perfect year to channel Lydia and Beetlejuice from the original film. This costume captures all the quirky fun of the movie, minus the hassle of an actual evil spirit haunting you.
10. Carrie and Big from Sex and the City
Even if you’re Team Aiden, you have to admit Carrie and Big are one of TV’s most iconic couples. What they lack in communication skills and compatibility, they make up for in fabulous fashion, making them the perfect couple’s Halloween costume. Bonus points if you master Carrie’s dramatic run by the 31st.
11. Solène and Hayes from The Idea of You
Anne Hathaway made headlines this year in her film The Idea of You with her incredible bangs and age-gap relationship with fictional pop star Hayes Campbell. Recreate Solène’s chic, artistic vibe and Hayes’ popstar look reminiscent of a certain Harry Styles. It’s one of those simple couple’s costume ideas that’s easy, cheap, and pop-culturally relevant.
12. Daemon and Rhaneyra from House of the Dragon
If House of the Dragon has been living rent-free in your head this year, a Daemon and Rhaenyra costume is a must for Halloween. If you’re Team Black (the correct choice, BTW), the obvious couple’s costume is Daemon and Rhaenyra. Grab a platinum blonde wig and a crown, and get ready to defend your claim to the Iron Throne.
13. Colin and Penelope from Bridgerton
A list of 2024 couple’s costume ideas isn’t complete without a Bridgerton mention. This year, we’re still swooning over Colin and Penelope’s romance. If, while watching the show, you wished you had an excuse to wear glamorous dresses and dance like you’re at a ball, Halloween is the time to do just that.
Channel the glamour of the Regency era and wear your finest for a costume that’s as fabulous as Bridgerton itself.
14. Jane and John from Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Move over, Brangelina—there’s a new Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the neighborhood. Donald Glover (AKA Childish Gambino) and Maya Erskine are the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the 2024 TV reboot. This costume is a fun twist on classic spy gear, and fans of the show will appreciate the reference to the modern version of this famous duo.
15. Pam and Jim from The Office
The Office may have come out almost 20 years ago, but it is still as relevant as ever. Pam and Jim are a classic duo, making this an easy, fun costume that never goes out of style. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to binge the show in the name of “research.”
16. Cher and Dionne from Clueless
A duo costume better than Cher and Dionne? Ugh, as if! These besties are the epitome of fashion and fun. Between their timeless plaid fits and unforgettable quotes, this costume will always be a hit.
17. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at the Eras Tour
Taylor’s romance with Kansas City Chiefs’ player Travis Kelce is not only the most-talked-about thing to happen on the internet in quite some time, but it also makes for a great couple’s costume idea. This year, they took their romance from the football field to the Eras Tour, where he joined her on stage in London. To channel the moment, have your partner throw on a hat and tuxedo jacket and pair a sparkly bra and shorts with a tuxedo jacket. And don’t forget her signature red lip, of course!
18. Ariel and Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid
We fell in love with this magical prince and princess duo all over again after the live-action version of The Little Mermaid hit theaters last summer. To dress up as Ariel and Prince Eric, all you’ll need is a classic mermaid tail skirt and shell top, plus a Victorian-style shirt and vest for the prince. Bonus points if your significant other is willing to re-create this drenched rescue scene.
19. Barbie and Ken from Barbie
You knew this one was coming: The most iconic couple’s Halloween costume of last year was none other than Barbie and Ken. In 2024, it’s sure to be big again. Channel Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s fabulous matching cowboy outfits with a bright pink set, white cowboy boots, and matching cowboy hats. And be sure to wave “Hi, Barbie!” to every other Barbie and Ken you spot this Halloween.
20. Jack and Rose from Titanic
Could any couple’s costume be more classic than Jack and Rose from Titanic? Absolutely not. This old-school costume is pretty easy to put together, too. A button-up shirt and suspenders are must-haves for Jack. For Rose, you’ll need a long dress, a red wig with curls (if you don’t already have gorgeous locks like hers), and a heart-shaped blue necklace. Extra style points will be granted if you show up to the Halloween party with a door!
21. Shiv and Tom from Succession
Regardless of what you thought of the Succession series finale last year, we can all agree that while Tom and Shiv may not exactly be relationship goals, this power couple does have impeccable style. Plus, this costume likely includes items you and your partner already have in your wardrobe—or will actually wear IRL long after Halloween is over.
22. Gomez and Morticia Addams from Wednesday
Now that we all know the fascinating backstory of Gomez and Morticia Addams’ relationship from Wednesday, they certainly make for a fun couple’s costume. For Gomez, you’ll need a pinstripe blazer and pants, a fake mustache, and a fake “Thing” hand. For Morticia, find a long-sleeved black maxi dress with a slit (that you could also add yourself), a long black wig, some dark eyeshadow, and bold lipstick. There are endless ways to play around with her character by adding various props as well.
23. Meredith Grey and Cristina Yang from Grey’s Anatomy
Get ready to wholeheartedly dance the night away with your bestie in scrubs (with possibly some tequila involved—IYKYK). A super inexpensive option is to go to your local thrift shop to find some matching blue scrubs, but they are also easily available online. Have fun accessorizing with fake beepers, name tags, stethoscopes, or some surgical masks, and you’re good to go!
24. John B and Sarah from Outer Banks
If you live somewhere warm and can wear shorts and a crop top at the end of October, this Outer Banks-inspired costume is for you. You and your significant other should already have everything you need in your closet for this badass couple’s costume: jean shorts, tank tops, sneakers, and backpacks. Just make sure you dirty everything up a little—including yourself—and add John B’s bandana as the final touch.
25. Joyce and Hopper from Stranger Things
We love this will-they-or-won’t-they pair, and this is one of those couple’s Halloween costumes that can easily be achieved with stuff you already have hidden in your wardrobe. To get Joyce’s look, all you need is a cardigan and a plaid button-up, and for Hopper, you’ll need a faux sheriff’s uniform—and, of course, a big ol’ fake mustache.
26. Gatsby and Daisy from The Great Gatsby
If you’re looking to take the classic flapper Halloween costume up a notch, look no further than the most iconic 1920s couple that never was: Gatsby and Daisy. Whether you want to re-create the looks from Baz Luhrman’s iconic The Great Gatsby movie from 2013, emulate an earlier version of the film, or base your costume purely on the original Fitzgerald book, you can’t go wrong. To replicate the 2013 film, you’ll need a white suit, a purple flapper dress, and all the 1920s-inspired accessories.
27. Andie and Duckie from Pretty in Pink
We’d be remiss not to include this adorable pair from the cult classic Pretty in Pink. It makes a great friend or couple’s costume that’s super easy to replicate! For Andie, you just need a short, red-haired wig and a flowy pink dress. For Duckie, pair a fedora and a bolo tie with a patterned blazer.
28. Peter Pan and Tinkerbell
Throw it back to childhood and dress up like Tinkerbell and Peter Pan this year. You can find everything you need for this costume online, but we always think a DIY version is better. Peter Pan needs a green shirt, a belt, a hat, and brown shoes—all of which you can get together with the help of retailers like Target and Amazon. Tinkerbell’s costume requires a little more magic and sparkle: a wand, sparkly tights, a green dress, ballet flats, and wings.
29. Brittany and Santana from Glee
If Glee is your go-to comfort show, channel the adorable WLW duo of Brittany and Santana for your couple’s costume this year. All you have to do is pick up some WMHS cheerleader uniforms, plus some cheerleader accessories like hair bows, ankle socks, and pom-poms.
30. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo
You can wear this costume as a couple, with friends, with your pooch—the list goes on. For Shaggy, you just need a solid green T-shirt with brown pants. For Scooby, you could go all-out with a whole Scooby-Doo suit, but if you want to keep it more low-key, we recommend a brown dress with simple brown accessories. Then add some socks, a dog-ear headband, a green choker necklace, and some simple face paint!
