22 Couples Halloween Costumes to Wear in 2023

Halloween is weeks away, and for those who don’t plan their costumes months in advance, the pressure’s on to commit to a costume. If you’re struggling to come up with an idea on your own, you know what they say: Two is better than one. So if you’re in a relationship, situationship, or have a BFF who’d be down to brainstorm some couples’ Halloween costumes with you, there's no time like the present. 

Time may be ticking, but the good news is there are plenty of couples' Halloween costumes to consider this year. If you’re scrounging for inspiration, according to Google search data collected by Slingo, the most popular Halloween costumes of 2023 are likely to come from this year’s pop culture phenomena, like the Barbie movie, Spider-Man, and Netflix’s Wednesday. That said, if none of these are your forte, there are plenty more couples to emulate come Halloween.

To narrow down your options, consider the genre of costumes you’d like to explore. Are you going for cutesy or spooky? Retro or modern? Would you rather portray fictional characters or a celebrity twosome? If you’ve answered all of the above and are still drawing a blank, no worries. Ahead, we’ve listed 22 couples Halloween costumes that will work for virtually any duo.

Barbie & Ken

Barbie and Ken are forecasted to be one of the biggest Halloween costumes for couples this year, thanks to Greta Gerwig’s record-breaking film. The pair wears so many iconic outfits throughout the movie (we especially love the yellow and pink roller skating ensembles), but if you’d prefer to go off script and channel a Barbie and Ken look from your doll collection, by all means!

Kylie & Timothée

Now that these two officially hard-launched their relationship, we’re hoping to see some Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet stans channeling the couple this Halloween.
