October is hands-down our fave month of the year, especially since it’s the season of pumpkins, spooks and skeletons — one of the most commercialised holidays of all time — Halloween!
Numerous spooky pop-ups and Halloween-themed events are happening all over the island this month. But let’s be real, what’s the point of joining the fun if you and your boo aren’t dressed up to slay the night away?
Here are three killer Halloween costume theme ideas that will make you guys the best-dressed couple at any party.
Show Series
Everyone loves dressing up in trendy pop culture references, especially viral ones that took over social media platforms. Some examples we can think of are Squid Game, The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP), K-Pop Demon Hunters, and more.
For couples, we recommend dressing up as Belly Conklin and Conrad Fisher from TSITP, with reference to the season three finale, where both of them celebrated Belly’s birthday in Paris together.
If you are leaning into that darker, gothic look to fit the spooky theme, channel your inner Wednesday energy with the elegant, eerie and iconic Morticia and Gomez Addams look.
Prefer something more playful? Go for Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair for a contrasting yet complementary look. One’s moody and mysterious; the other’s sunshine in human form — together, it’s the perfect mix of spooky and sweet.
We’ve all heard stories of couples hanging out with their single friends, especially that one regular tag-along friend. Inspired by the viral TikTok “Steve” trend, where couples record their hangouts with a close but awkward third wheel, we’ve officially labelled these single sidekicks as “Steves” (TikTok lingo).
Instead of leaving your very own Steve out of the fun, include them in the action and suit up together as the fierce trio HUNTRIX from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Here comes the real question: who’s taking the role of Rumi, Zoey, or Mira?
Regardless of gender, people are definitely going to scream “unnie” the moment you show up. Whether you choose to dress in HUNTRIX’s full black leather idol outfits or the relaxed behind-the-camera outfits, it’s giving full-on demon-slaying energy.
Game Series
If you’re into video games, level up your Halloween by dressing up as characters from Mario Kart, Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF), Little Nightmares, and more. These are classic and iconic games that are instantly recognisable and perfect for flexing your gaming vibes.
Transform into the ultimate couple as Princess Peach and Mario from Mario Kart, for cutesy, pink-galore vibes that are totally heart-melting. Or switch it up for an adorable pink and blue monstrous look as Kissy Missy and Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime.
If these games are a little too niche for you, you can also opt for dressing up as any Sanrio characters from the Hello Kitty Island Adventure game. Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Melody or even Kuromi would be an adorable choice.
Celebrities
Numerous well-known celebrities got engaged this year, but none stole the spotlight quite like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Remember Taylor’s Instagram post caption describing them as the “English teacher” and “gym teacher”?
Bring that energy to Halloween! You could channel the English teacher vibe with Taylor’s signature hairstyle, while your boyfriend rocks the gym teacher look.
Tom Holland and Zendaya’s Lip Sync Battle is another well-known ensemble that everyone’s obsessed with. Zendaya wore baggy, full-red streetwear topped off with her white YXIV cap, while Tom Holland stole the show in black lace lingerie. Talk about bold couple energy.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter if you and your boo are serving Bridgerton elegance or going full-on silly as kitchen condiments like salt and pepper shaker bottles — what matters most is having a blast this Halloween!
