Our Favorite Pop Culture Halloween Costume Ideas for Couples, Throuples, and Groups

The "Wicked" movie press tour

The "Wicked" movie is not even out yet, despite us having lived through a years-long, multi-phase, scandal-filled press tour for it, so it feels more appropriate to say this costume is more about the press tour than the film itself. What's especially fun about this look is all you really need is clothing in the iconic pink and green shades. Make like Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's press tour and coordinate whichever vibe you're feeling – casual or elegant, tailored or off-the-rack. Remember their custom Louis Vuitton sequin-adorned shirts at the Super Bowl? Whether you choose to wear twin embellished dresses or casual color-coordinated clothes, just have fun with it! And yes, you will need to recreate the iconic "Wicked" poster with your partner.

Nara and Lucky Smith

You don't need to make this costume from scratch to make it look like you're about to bake your kids' cereal from scratch while wearing designer gowns in your kitchen, full makeup and designer gown on, while your husband occasionally hangs around in the background to taste the finished product. This is the perfect costume for someone who doesn't really feel like doing a costume-costume. You know, someone who always prefers to wear a sharp suit or dazzling party dress. Go ahead and slay in your formal wear! Just make sure that one of you has a sleek dark bob and a radiant sweep of lip color and gloss, while the other person has their hair slicked back with gel, a few too many buttons undone on their shirt, and a toothpick poking out from between their lips. This would also be a fun couples costume to drop as an Instagram post, with your very own demure voiceover about how your kids asked for a PB&J so you went ahead and started kneading dough for bread, before picking fruit in your garden to make the jam.

"Fellow Travelers"

This is another easy, low-effort but effective costume that would work perfectly for a last-minute party. Wear your suit pants a little higher, throw on a knitted vest or cardigan, find a blazer that's a little loose on your frame. One of you will need to wear the Tim glasses; thankfully we all have a random pair hidden somewhere in the house from years ago. Both of you will need to part your hair differently than you usually do, depending on the "Fellow Travelers" decade you're gonna represent, but once that's in place you're pretty much sorted. With a little imagination, if you're into it (or it's that kind of party), you could absolutely modify these quaint period costumes into much more slutty renditions.

Anna Delvey on "Dancing with the Stars"

Do you see how the "Inventing Anna" muse bedazzles her court-ordered ankle monitor to match her "Dancing with the Stars" dance partner's outfits every week? Do you see how it sparkles as they spin around the dance floor and hit deeply slayful poses? It's anything but demure. If you've got time to craft and sparkle an ankle monitor-looking accessory of your own, we hope it's for a party where they'll be taking full outfit photos – perhaps at least somewhere with a thematic wall and great lighting so you can glide your ankle up into frame to capture the magic (this Delvey post shows us how she does it), not only of you and your partner's coordinated, colorful, embellished joint slay, but of a scandalous pop culture moment that will go down in TV history. And for your Instagram costume reveal? It's gotta be a recreation of this incredible "celebrity on the way to the awards show red carpet" moment, Delvey's legs dangling out of the car window to a soundtrack of Addison Rae's "Diet Pepsi," with sparkling dress, wispy feathers swaying in the breeze, and perfectly matching ankle monitor on display.

The "Agatha All Along" coven

With each member of this quirky, makeshift coven keeping secrets from each other and being tested by the trials along The Witches' Road, we see so many different sides to the coven as we spend more time on the "Agatha" adventure. The trials (and the nature of this meta, twisty, stylized "WandaVision" spin-off) each have their own episodic aesthetic, but if you've watched the show, there's certainly gonna be a look, a test, a costume that made you think: "That one."

It could be Joe Locke's goth Teen; Kathryn Hahn as Agatha when she's messy and out of control, or Agatha when she's all buttoned up and trying to look like she has her life together; Aubrey Plaza is fierce and sexy in every outfit she wears as the mysterious antagonist, and each of the dynamic, talented witches who join them for this thrilling, surprising ride has a specific trait that would make them fun to dress up as. Whether you're a queer couple dressing up as Hahn and Plaza's characters as an ode to the fantastic sexual tension between them, or a group of friends ready to arrive like the band of powerful troublemakers that you are... Happy Halloween!
