Plus, we figured out how to channel The Bear for less than $20, pay homage to House of the Dragon via Amazon, and go full Challengers if you’re working through a situationship.

American Girl DollsEvery Millennial and Zoomer who grew up with American Girl dolls will recognize these trending costumes, just a few picks from a larger collection inspired by the toys which includes other dolls.

Hocus PocusWinifred, the Sanderson sisters’ ringleader, belongs front and center at any spooky event because she, like Hocus Pocus, remains a Halloween fave. And likable zombie Billy Butcherson (a.k.a. Winifred’s ex-boyfriend) makes a perfect complement.

Lana Del Rey & Jeremy DufreneThe wedding of the year might just have been Lana Del Rey’s surprise nuptials with Jeremy Dufrene, the gator boat captain-turned-unexpected love interest. Channel the musician’s Lust for Life album cover in this ethereal dress and these daisies; embody her new husband in his preferred style of camo.

Barbara & AdamNow that the sequel is one of the biggest movies of the year, we’re expecting lots of Beetlejuice costumes.

Plus, both half-masks come at a price point that’s hard to beat.

Taylor Swift & Travis KelceWe can’t all be internationally famous pop stars and football players—except on Halloween.

No tortured poets here—just good vibes.

Courtesy of brand
Tooth FairyWith enough imagination, pretty much anything can be a creative couples costume. Case in point: this Tooth Fairy getup, which turns a myth into a genuinely cute duo. Add white knee-high boots to the dress and a white or red ensemble to the tooth to take things over the top.
Courtesy of brand

Courtesy of brand
SneakersSometimes, compromise looks like dressing up as a gigantic pair of shoes. Everyone, after all, can agree on sneakers—especially when they’re as silly as this oversized set.
Courtesy of brands
ChallengersChallengers took over in the first half of 2024, but we’re predicting this will also be a big costume for couples (and situationships and throuples) for years to come. The film is chock-full of spicy duos. Whoever you choose, be it Tashi and Patrick, Patrick and Art, or Art and Tashi, the costume is relatively easy to pull off without all the added conflict of a love triangle.

Courtesy of brands
DuneWe can all agree that Dune: Part Two was a cultural phenomenon. While we can’t all be the Lisan al Gaib or Chani, we can at least channel that same otherworldly energy thanks to Amazon. The costume, consisting of a jumpsuit and hood, is relatively easy to put together, too.
Barbie & KenSure, last year was the summer of Barbiecore, but we’re still very into these costumes that are, dare we say, a little bit sexy? (Another option for Ken? His instantly iconic Kenough hoodie.)

Courtesy of brands
SaltburnSaltburn had everyone in a tizzy at the end of last year—and this is the first Halloween since it was released, meaning it’s still more than fair game. The look is easy to achieve with minimal effort, given that the impact of both Oliver’s and Felix’s looks lies mostly in the accessories. (If you’ll be drinking, we suggest sipping out of a mini bathtub.)
Courtesy of brands
House of the DragonCheap Halloween costumes can still be fun, even if you’re channeling the high fantasy world of Game of Thrones. Pair this wig with a dress and these wings with anything green, then go party like a King’s Landing local.

Courtesy of brands
GhostbustersWho you gonna call? Ghostbusters is nothing short of iconic, meaning you won’t have to explain what you two are wearing. The best part? With the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire earlier this year, the franchise has been recently invigorated in a major way, making the costume especially timely.
Courtesy of brands
ScreamNothing screams “Halloween” more than Scream (pun intended). We’re throwing it back to the ’90s for this one, channeling the first film in the bloodcurdling franchise with a Ghostface and a Casey Becker look sure to turn (or bash) heads.

SuccessionPrestige TV’s most successful (and least happy) power couple, Shiv Roy and Tom Wambsgans, has an affinity for turtlenecks, quilted vests, and baseball caps—everything you’d want to wear in October anyway. Throw in an orange bob and a sense of superiority to really sell it.
Courtesy of brand
The BearYet one more reason to love The Bear: Cheap couples Halloween costumes don’t get much better than this. All you need is a blue apron and a white tee to channel Carmy, then an Original Beef of Chicagoland shirt for any of the other characters. Yes, chef!
