Halloween is weeks away. Have you and your special someone decided on a super special couple’s costume? If so, then props to you for staying ahead of the game. If you haven’t thought about it yet (like most of us), then it’s time to start thinking about it because if your couple’s costume requires you to special order items, then you need to carve out time for ordering and shipping. And if you haven’t even begun to think about it and want to put together something to mark the year, don’t sweat it. Here is our list of trendy couple’s Halloween costumes that absolutely slay in 2023.
If staying on trend isn’t your thing, no worries. There are so many classic Halloween costumes out there to choose from. And nothing beats a timeless classic!

Barbie & Ken
Let’s face it — the cultural event of the year belongs to the Barbie movie. Even the fairest weather of fans of the Barbie franchise needed to check out this movie and see what all the buzz was about. And whether you’re a fan of Barbie or Ken or not, it’d be quite a chore to keep yourself from not falling in love with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gossling’s performance in the movie. With so much Barbie merch out there, you don’t necessarily need a ready-made costume to pair up for the perfectly pink Barbie and Ken couple’s costume.

Taylor & Travis
Speaking of cultural events taking over 2023 — did you know the Excorsist sequel-prequel that was supposed to premier on Friday the 13th got scared off because of the Taylor Swift movie? The Exor-Swift a.k.a. The Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert film dominated theaters its opening weekend, and Taylor and her boo Travis dominated the conversation on social media after they made a surprise cameo appearance on the fall premiere of Saturday Night Live. We’re still not sold on the TayVis (or KelSwift or Traylor or whatever) surviving the NFL football season, but we certainly hope these two megastar lovebirds make it to Halloween if nothing more than to peep all the creative Taylor and Travis couples costumes that will no doubt surface.

His and Hers Ironic 2023 T-Shirt
The ironic t-shirt is a great fallback for any couple looking to phone their costume in this Halloween but at least put forth an effort to be clever. Consider going with a “This Is My Halloween Costume” classic or something more topical, suggesting you couldn’t afford a Halloween costume due to the global economy and the high rate of inflation in the United States. You and your special someone can show everyone how cute you two are without putting all that much time into caring about it.

Mario & Princess Peach
Before there was Barbie and Ken, there was Mario and Princess Peach. Well, at least according to the film release calendar in 2023. For all of the Barbie and Ken couples costumes out there, expect to see just as many Mario and Princess Peaches. The Super Mario Brothers movie is actually pretty laden with great costume ideas and isn’t just good for couples but also for the entire group.

The Golden Bachelor & Aunt Chippy
Were you among the 9 million viewers who tuned into the inaugural episode of The Golden Bachelor? If so, then chances are you have Aunt Chippy burned into your memory. Providing much-needed comic relief for an at-times sad premiere episode of The Golden Bachelor, Jimmy Kimmel’s favorite aunt hit all the right marks at all the right moments. Consider dressing up as Gerry (pronounced “Gary,” people) and Aunt Chippy for a unique take on the Halloween couples costume. Just try not to sleep through the rose ceremony.

Ariel & Prince Eric
For the Disney lovers out there (and there are so many of you!), you likely already had your Disney-themed couples costume planned out in mid-summer, but in case you’ve narrowed it down to seven or eight ideas and you need help making a decision to make your 2023 mark on the couples costume, consider settling on Ariel and Prince Eric. The best part is that you can go with the classic animated version of Ariel and Prince Eric or the updated live action version. So many choices!

Whether you go with something trendy or an age-old classic, dressing up as a couple is one of the most cheesy and fun things you and your special person can do. Halloween only comes around once a year, so don’t be afraid to do it up. From Barbie and Ken to The Golden Bachelor and Aunt Chippy (or any of those lovely ladies), you’ve got options.
