Halloween is still months away, but it’s never too early to start planning your couples Halloween costume — especially if it requires some convincing to get your significant other on board. We’ve rounded up more than 80 ideas, ranging from popular costumes for 2024 to classic costumes that are always in style, such as Disney couples costumes.
No matter how you’re spending Halloween with your partner, whether it be at a Halloween party, trick-or-treating with your kids, or passing out candy or non-candy Halloween treats, we’ve got the perfect costume for you. You can go as Chani and Paul Atreides from Dune: Part 2, Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington from Bridgerton, or as a Formula 1 driver and a pit crew member, depending on what catches your eye.
If you like the idea of coordinating ensembles, consider getting even more people involved. Call in family and friends for a group Halloween costume, trio Halloween costume, or family Halloween costume. Brady Bunch, anyone?
And just in case you decide to fly solo for the October holiday, we also have individual ideas for Grease costumes, ‘90s costumes, punny costumes, and ‘80s costumes to browse through next.
Elphaba and Glinda from 'Wicked'
This is sure to be the top costume of 2024, thanks to the upcoming release of Wicked starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. While their characters aren't romantically involved, we'd still say this makes for an adorable and easily recognized couples costume.

Art Donaldson and Patrick Zweig from 'Challengers'
If the release of Challengers made you want to hit the tennis court, now's the chance for you and your partner to dust off your rackets and put on your best polos. For a fun trio costume, add Zendaya's character, Tashi, to the mix.

Ponyboy Curtis and Cherry Valance from 'The Outsiders'
The Outsiders is back in the cultural zeitgeist, thanks to the Tony award-winning musical adaption that hit Broadway this year, making it an ideal costume for 2024. Go as young Sodapop, PonyBoy, or Cherry Valance.
Characters from 'Mean Girls'
You've got so many options when it comes to Mean Girls costumes this year! We have to say the cutest couple in the 2024 Mean Girls is definitely Ms. Norbury and Principal Duvall, but you could also go as Regina and Aaron, Cady and Aaron, Janice and Damien, any two Plastics — don't be afraid to get creative!
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
The power couple was a popular Halloween costume pick for 2023 and is likely to be a top choice for 2024, as well. For Taylor, you can opt for a sheer floral mesh top and a black mini skirt to replicate this date-night look, or choose something inspired by her bejeweled Eras Tour outfits. Travis is pretty easy, too — a Kansas City Chiefs t-shirt or jersey will definitely do the trick.
Ghostbusters
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters costumes are always a great choice, but will be especially popular this year thanks to the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Minions
With Despicable Me 4 hitting theaters, Minions are sure to be a popular costume this year. Luckily, you only need a few items to pull this adorable couples costume together.
Deadpool & Wolverine
This just might be the crossover event of the year! This Halloween costume is perfect for a Marvel-loving couple pumped about the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie.
Harley Quinn and the Joker from 'Suicide Squad'
Become the two biggest troublemakers in Gotham for the night by dressing up as the Suicide Squad version of Harley Quinn and the Joker. You can also adjust the look to mimic Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga's interpretations of the characters in the upcoming thriller Joker: Folie à Deux film.
Statue of Liberty and a Tourist
For a unique Halloween costume that's sure to earn a round of laughs, go as Lady Liberty and an eager tourist. To dress as a tourist, it's all about the accessories. We recommend having a disposable camera, a sun hat, and a pair of chunky dad shoes. More is more!
Cosmo and Wanda from 'The Fairly OddParents'
If you grew up in the 2000s, you're sure to remember the chaotic duo that is Cosmo and Wanda from The Fairly OddParents. All you need for this easy costume is a pink wig, a green wig, and two star wands.
Belle and Lumière from 'Beauty and the Beast'
Everyone knows the love story between Belle and the Beast, but what about Belle and Lumière? All he'll need for this simple costume is a candelabra and a plain white shirt. For Belle, on the other hand, you can go all out with an 18th-century ball gown.
Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler from 'Yellowstone'
Can't get enough of Yellowstone? You and your significant other can dress as Beth and Rip in this look that fans of the popular show will instantly recognize.
Alice and Jasper from the 'Twilight' Baseball Scene
Whether TikTok inspired a recent Twilight rewatch, or introduced you to the 2008 film's iconic baseball scene for the first time, channel the Cullens with your batting partner and you're guaranteed to hit it out of the park this Halloween.
Ellie and Joel from 'The Last of Us'
Ellie and Joel don't have a romantic relationship of course, but if you and your partner (or BFF!) loved season one of The Last of Us, dressing up as this dynamic duo just makes sense. Use makeup to make it look like you've got dirt on your bodies and clothing, and don't forget to carry flashlights.
