Ahead, find 12 couples costume ideas that are sure to wow this Halloween.
Celebrity Lookalikes
This Halloween, turn heads with a creative and glam celebrity couples costume: Think Beyoncé and Jay-Z (as seen above on fellow A-list couple Ciara and Russell Wilson), Victoria and David Beckham, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
The Perfect Pair
This costume choice from Maude Apatow is certainly a Converse-sation starter. All that's left to do is decide who will be Chuck and who will be Taylor. If you're not sold on the shoe idea, try other punny pairings like peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, or ketchup and mustard.
Movie-Inspired
Who could forget Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's recreation of the leads from True Romance? Emulate Clarence and Alabama, as seen above, or try other iconic couples from films such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith or The Notebook.
Power Pairing
Superheroes are always a hot choice when it comes to couples costumes. Here, we see Monet McMichael and Jalen Noble nailing the mutant look as Storm and Wolverine.
Morticia and Gomez Addams
Arguably, Morticia and Gomez are the "it" couple of Halloween. Plus, they're one of the most iconic representations of true, passionate, undying love.
Sandy and Danny
Grease is the word—and the Halloween costume that never gets old. It's flirty, fun, and perfectly retro.
Jack and Sally Skellington
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is a solid choice for both those who want to go all out and those who prefer a more low key look. You can dial up the costume notch to 100, as Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum did, or channel the look with just Halloween makeup.
Beetlejuice and Lydia
With the sequel to the OG Beetlejuice having arrived in theaters this season, now is the perfect time to pull out your best Lydia and Beetlejuice impressions.
Frankenstein and His Bride
This undead duo is yet another classic horror coupling that takes little to no effort to recreate. Just some makeup, wigs, or a mask will do.
The Black and White Swan
Lovers or enemies: you decide when it comes to portraying the leads of Natalie Portman's Black Swan.
Matching Moment
Who said that couples have to rock two different costumes? A matching moment like Lana Condor and Anthony De La Torre's is just as cute (and even easier to procure).
Barbie and Ken
The Barbiecore trend makes for such a cute couples costume. Here, Beyoncé and Jay-Z show us how it's done, dressing to the nines as retro '50s Barbie and Ken.
