Tired of Fred and Wilma costumes? Are you too tired of cosplaying Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow?
Getting the perfect couples costume – one that’s timely but not overused can be difficult. But thankfully, the shows, movies, and viral pop culture moments of the past year have given us all more than enough iconic duos to draw inspiration from this Halloween. From Liam and Noel Gallagher to Taylor and Travis, here are the best couples costumes for Halloween this year.

You never thought we could get through this list without the Queen of Pop herself, would you? No matter what era you’re in, Halloween is a fearless time, just like Taylor and her real-life love story.

For Beetlejuice’s Barbara and Adam, until death do us part – or maybe not even then. Go classic by shopping for eye-catching (and face-elongating) costumes.

“Since Knowing You, I’ve Changed Forever.” It’s something you and your partner can sing to each other all night long, dressed up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, and having a hell of a good time.

You don’t need non-FDA-approved injectables to become a younger version of Elizabeth Sparkle this Halloween. Inspired by body horror movies starring Demi Moore, this couples costume is probably perfect for a mother-daughter duo.

Barbie was a popular costume last year, but if you have a new partner to couple up with this October 31st, you won’t want to miss your chance to dress up as retro roller-skating Barbie and Ken from Greta Gerwig’s bubblegum-hued blockbuster.

Amazon’s Game of Thrones prequel series is still a hot topic a year later. Even more interesting is the wide range of costumes that can be collected from a large number of characters.

I can’t wait to see the cool Rick and Morty costumes. Wear an electric wig and act as the reckless, alcoholic scientist Rick, or don a wide-eyed mask and act as the always bewildered grandson Morty. Or you can wear an inflatable Pickle costume and act as Rick’s alter ego, Pickle Rick.
