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.
Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma from 'Bridgerton'
If you're the kind of couple who'll take any excuse to dress up, use this Halloween as an opportunity to show off your best regency era evening wear as Anthony and Kate from season 2 of Bridgerton or Penelope and Colin from season 3.
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.
Elphaba and Glinda from 'Wicked'
This is sure to be another top costume of 2024, thanks to the 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.
Shop Green Face and Body Paint
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 of the Plastics — don't be afraid to get creative!
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.
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.
Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling Promoting the 'Barbie' Movie
Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" Oscars performance pretty much guaranteed that the Barbie craze is going to be just as strong for Halloween 2024. Stand out in a sea of Barbies and Kens by taking inspiration from these immediately iconic photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan, where Ryan is sporting a shirt that reads "From Director Greta Gerwig" in the Barbie font. Another idea? Kens can stay comfy on Halloween night in a fun "I'm Kenough" sweatshirt.
Rollerblading Barbie and Ken
If you prefer to dress as Barbie and Ken from the 2023 film, the matching neon rollerblading outfits would be so fun to recreate.
Shiv Roy and Tom Wambsgans from 'Succession'
Their relationship may be complicated (to put it lightly), but there's no denying the effect that this polarizing pair had on our Sunday nights. Plus, if it's cold this Halloween, you can stay warm while channeling the Succession characters in your finest turtleneck.
Midge and Joel Maisel from 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel may have aired its final episode, but the fashion in this show deserves to live on. Whichever of Miriam's ensembles you decide to draw inspiration from, just make sure to include a fabulous hat.

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.
Baby and Johnny Castle from 'Dirty Dancing'
If you and your better half have killer dance moves, then it's only right that you don Baby and Johnny's get-up from their final number in the iconic '80s film Dirty Dancing.

For a couples costume that's totally groovy, baby, you and your main squeeze can take on Austin Powers and a Fembot this year.
