August 23, 2024 by Mandy

Dressing up for Halloween is just more fun with others. Whether you rope your significant other or BFFs into your plans, we have a whole slew of costume suggestions relevant to the year’s best movies, TV shows, and memes. Here’s our suggestions for couples/duos Halloween costume ideas for 2024.

Deadpool and Wolverine

Grab your BFF (complete with matching necklaces) for the hottest couple costume of the year. The highly-anticipated third Deadpool movie teams up with Wolverine to save the world from an exestensial threat.

Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton (Bridgerton)

The third season of Bridgerton featured fan-favorite Penelope Featherington as the main character, alongside the newest Bridgerton beau. Penelope was introduced in the first season as Eloise‘s best friend, who secretly adored Colin Bridgerton from afar. Their friends-to-lovers arc was full of drama, romance, and of course, steaminess.

Dame Aylin and Isobel (Baldur’s Gate 3)

While there’s many romance options in Baldur’s Gate 3 regarding the player and companions, there are a few established couples that your adventuring party can meet. Perhaps the best known is Dame Aylin and Isobel. Freeing Dame Aylin and saving Isobel will not only result in two powerful allies, but a sweet reunion of lovers.

Osha and Qimir (Star Wars: The Acolyte)

While Star Wars: The Acolyte sadly won’t return for a second season, you can keep the force alive with this couples costume idea. Many fans ship this pairing, as Qimir encourages Osha to unlock her power outside Jedi teachings. Even though Qimir is Sith, he’s still capable of loving and caring for Osha.

Lisa Frankenstein and The Creature (Lisa Frankenstein)

If you can’t meet your perfect boyfriend, make him. That’s the motto of Lisa Frankenstein, a misunderstood teenager in the 80s who reanimates a Victorian corpse. Together they embark on a journey of love, adventure, and chopping off limbs with an axe. How romantic.

Rogue and Gambit (X-Men 97)

Move aside Jean and Scott (or Logan, depending on who you prefer). This year’s couple of the X-Men universe is definitely Rogue and Gambit. Make a name for yourself and your partner by dressing in either their super suits or casual clothes – yes, crop top Gambit counts.

Gojo and Geto (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Jujutsu Kaisen has been a hit for cosplay at anime conventions, with the most popular character being Satoru Gojo. Many people ship him with Suguru Geto. Despite their conflicting philsophies, Gojo and Geto became best friends and allies in battle. The costumes are relatively easy with matching uniforms and some accessories.

Joker and Harley (Joker Folie à Deux)

This infamous villainous couple is set to appear in Joker Folie à Deux, the musical thriller sequel to the 2019 Joker. Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck, with multi-award winning pop star Lady Gaga as the clown princess of crime. After leaving Arkham State Hospital, the two will embark on a doomed romantic misadventure.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars

On the topic of Lady Gaga, she collaborated with Bruno Mars for an unexpected new single titled “Die With a Smile.” This is the first time working together as a duo to the delight of fans and critics alike. The costumes should be fairly simple, with of sky blue blazers and red undershirts.

Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday (Doctor Who)

While not actually a couple, the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday are the best of friends. This is a great option for a closet costume, or you can wear their period pieces from the 60s or Regency era to jazz things up. If you want a romantic option, we suggest the Rogue, with whom the Fifteenth Doctor shared a one-time smooch.

Tashi, Art, and Patrick (Challengers)

Brush off those tennis rackets! The Challengers love triangle is great for a trio, consisting of Tashi, Art, and Patrick. This idea can easily utilize pieces from your closet.

Beetlejuice and Lydia (Beetlejuice)

With the highly-anticipated sequel coming soon, everyone is saying Beetlejuice’s name! Embody the ghost with the most with the signature striped suit or vintage tuxedo. Be strange and unusual as Lydia Deetz in either her all black attire or red wedding dress. Or you can get a head start on dressing up as the new characters, including Astrid Deetz and Beetlejuice’s wife.

Lou and Jackie (Love Lies Bleeding)

This 2024 romantic thriller is a sapphic blast to the past full of unexpected twists and turns. Set in 1989, the plot follows a reclusive gym manager and an ambitious bodybuilder who get wrapped up in organized crime. These costumes are easy to recreate with items from your closet or a trip to a thrift store.

Sad Oompa Loompa Actress and The Unknown (Willy’s Chocolate Experience)

We’re ending this article on a meme from earlier this year: the failed AI-generated Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow, Scotland. The sad oompa loompa actress and the Unknown are sure to get a laugh – or a fright. Just make sure you actually have enough candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters.
