Are you struggling to think of couples costumes for Halloween this year? Halloween is just around the corner, but don’t panic! We’ve got you covered. Whether it’s trending 2023 costume ideas or old classics, you’re sure to find something here.
Even if costumes are male/female, they can be easily adapted to any couple!
We’ll give you outfit recommendations, but feel free to source your own!
Barbie and Ken
Okay, okay – I guarantee every second person you see on October 31st will be geared up in all things Barbie, but honestly, as they should be! This was the movie of the year with a powerful message, so why shouldn’t we celebrate?
Morticia and Gomez
Ever since Wednesday came out in November 2022, I’ve been holding onto hope that people will dress up as Addams Family characters this year. I’m sure Wednesday will be a little overdone, just like Barbie, so why not opt for Morticia and Gomez?
Gnomeo and Juliet
This is such a random idea, but I really think it would be a hilarious and cute couples costume! A fun, kid-friendly take on the classic Shakespeare story.
Britney and Justin
These two looks may genuinely be the most iconic outfits of all time. At the 2001 American Music Awards, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears rocked this incredible all-denim look that would influence Halloween costumes for years to come.
Remy and Alfredo
I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a Ratatouille mega fan. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Honestly, any combination of two Ratatouille characters would make for a hilarious couples costume. Rock up to your Halloween party in these looks- everyone will love it!
Barbie and Oppenheimer
Okay, now back to Barbie – duh! Remember when Oppenheimer and Barbie premiered on the same day in the UK? Barbenheimer became a cultural phenomenon, so let’s commemorate it this Halloween. One of you dresses up as Barbie and the other as J. Robert Oppenheimer and you’ll have the perfect 2023 couples costume.
Otis and Maeve
Sex Education has been huge, especially in the UK, over the last few years. The recent release of season four was highly anticipated and did not disappoint! Why not dress up as Otis and Maeve this Halloween?
Ariel and Prince Eric
The remake of The Little Mermaid was a big hit this year. Disney couples are always a popular choice for couples’ Halloween costumes, so whether you choose the classic 1989 film or go for the 2023 look, it’s the perfect costume!
Beetlejuice and Lydia
Throw it back to some classic 80s spooky horror with Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. Lydia and Beetlejuice are some incredibly iconic Halloween costumes with so much creative inspiration to draw from!
Sally and Jack Skellington
For another Tim Burton look, why not dress up as the power couple in The Nightmare Before Christmas – Sally and Jack Skellington?
Jim and Pam
Let’s talk about everyone’s favorite couple from The Office, Jim and Pam. Not only is it an easy Halloween costume, but it’s also just so cute! Get some classic office clothing from thrift stores and put together the perfect Jim and Pam costume.
Jake and Amy
Yep! Another iconic television couple – Jake and Amy! It may take a little extra creative thinking to make sure you don’t just look like you’ve just come dressed as cops. Maybe make a little ’99’ badge to sell the vision.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Are you a big Swiftie? Convince you’re partner to dress up together as Hollywood’s new favourite it-couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. For Swift, where something sparkly and, for Kelce, get a football shirt with ’87’ on the back – maybe a fake moustache too!
Daphne and Fred
This may be a little overdone, but I’ll never get bored of seeing Scooby-Doo-related Halloween costumes. Dress up as the iconic duo, Daphne and Fred, this year!
Mavis and Johnny
For something fun and easy, why not dress up as Mavis and Johnny from Hotel Transylvania?
Tinkerbell and Captain Hook
We see Tinkerbell and Peter Pan a lot each year, so why not switch it up and go for Tinkerbell and Captain Hook instead?
Love and Joe
We love to hate them – You’s power couple, Love and Joe. Despite their incredibly toxic relationship, we all loved watching this twisted couple on our screens a few years ago. If you’re both You fans, try out this couples costume.
Dragon and Donkey
Last, but not least, we have Shrek’s it-couple, Dragon and Donkey. This unlikely couple makes for the perfect Halloween costume. Pay respects to the best film series of all time with this look.
So, who will you and your significant other be dressing up as this year? There are so many couples costumes to choose from. Let us know in the comments!
