Halloween is upon us again, which represents a new opportunity to create a costume that pays homage to the most hilarious time of year and its celebrity couples. From the Challenger trio to Pilaf Moore, there’s plenty to inspire your next spooky party – so, in no particular order, here are 17 last-minute costume ideas for your Halloween costume inspiration.
Charli XCX and Lorde
Mix it up with your favorite frenemies in this naughty couple or bestie costume, but don’t expect to be the only person wearing it at any Halloween party you attend. Two is better than one, right?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Brain Worm
I know I said I didn’t want to hear anything more about the embattled former presidential candidate, but this might actually be more important than Heidi Klum’s famous worm costume.
Five-issue cover of Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo
To complete this mission, all you need is four friends and some gray body paint. Complete!
Moo Deng
I think it would be a better world if we all dressed like Thailand’s most prominent baby pygmy hippopotamus influencer all the time. (Think heavy pink blush and natural brows, plus you’ll be biting and screaming all night.)
Sabrina Carpenter and the alien she kissed at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards
In my opinion, this moment of bizarre alien romance deserves a Halloween revival.
McQueen Approved Horse
Yes, you’ll need to stock up on Sean McGirr’s fabulous chunky horseshoe boots from his fall 2024 collection for Alexander McQueen, which cost around $3,000, but the good news is that you can get the horse mask from any of the coveted stores in the Spirited Halloween franchise for all under $30. We love the high and low moments!
Demi Moore “Material”
Will this bloody costume make your Halloween party-goers feel a little faint-hearted? It’s possible, but authenticity is key.
Challenger Trio
One of you must wear an “I told you so” shirt, one of you must be the honest blonde, and one of you must be the brunette schemer. You must all wear tennis shorts. I didn’t make the rules!
Nara Smith’s Homemade Cheez-Its
This could be a group costume or your lone, brave homemade Cheez-It, depending on your confidence level and the influencer marketing awareness of your friend group.
Bella Hadid in the cowgirl era
Cowboy boyfriend and real horse sold separately.
The cast of Hulu’s ‘The Secret Life of Mormon Wives’
Simply gather a group of blonde-haired friends, wear coordinating blue coats, and you’re set.
Chapel Roan in the “Hot to Go!” music video
If you want to be one of the chaps joining this year’s Halloween festivities, you can even dress up as the band’s frontman. (Here’s a tip: check out the discounted Merida Brave wigs online for the best realism.)
Emily in Paris to Emily…in Rome
If this season of the hit Netflix series takes the eponymous Emily to the Eternal City, why can’t it take you with it? Get your selfie arms ready!
Saltburn Bathtub
Yes, the movie came out almost a year ago, but director Emerald Fennell is releasing it a month later on Halloween 2023, so now it seems that if you’re looking for a couples costume, ask your loved one to play the role of Jacob Elordi; if you have a third friend or partner who needs a role, ask them to play the role of Rubber Duck.
Nicole Kidman’s wig in “The Perfect Couple”
You heard me: It’s not Kidman, it’s the wig itself, which, let’s be honest, is very much part of Halloween.
Pilav Moor
As we all learn during the dog days of summer, this is Pilaf’s world, and we all (including his human mother, Demi Moore) live in it.
