The most pop Halloween couple costumes there are for Halloween 2026 Everything becomes a costume in the spooky season of the year

Halloween is October 31, but it seems around the corner for more than a month. This is not your feeling, the nostalgia for a spooky and at the same time pop October started early this year and the numbers tell us. A PwC report talks about the Summerween phenomenon: almost half of US consumers (49%) started celebrating or starting preparations for Halloween in the summer months. We don't know if the credit is also or only the algorithms, but surely pop culture has put its hand in it. On social media, in particular, couple costumes released directly from the current TV series or from our headphones are popular. If you and your partner in crime are the only ones who still don't have a disguise for the scariest night of the year, no problem. That's why we're here.

Pop culture-inspired couple costumes for Halloween 2026

J.Lo and Maverick (Allie Hayes & Dean Di Laurentis in Off Campus)

The duo formed by Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) in Off Campus is definitely the star of this Halloween. The costumes worn by the couple during the theme party scene, respectively those of J.Lo and Maverick, are the most recreated on social networks. Allie has put aside her composure to claim space and the choice of the dress communicates it very well: this is the famous green and blue Jungle Dress by Versace worn by J.Lo in 2019 and even earlier in 2000. If you are thinking of recreating this disguise, don't forget to style your hair with a wavy and disheveled look, just like that of the girl. Dean responds with the classic 'handsome and damned' look: Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell. Here comes the legendary military green fighter pilot suit, enriched by the iconic patches on the chest and sleeves, combined with the inevitable aviator sunglasses. The costume perfectly reflects the couple's personality: if you find yourself in these super pop vibes, maybe you've found your perfect disguise.

Adéla & Charli xcx: It-Girl energy

On October 18, Adéla took the stage as a surprise guest during Charli xcx's concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. What immediately stood out to the eye was the choice of the looks: chromatically opposite, but perfect together. The singer of Slovak origins has worn a sort of white mini-dress with large fringes combined with very voluminous feather cuffs. The queen of the underground, on the other hand, opted for a short leather sheath, accompanied by her inevitable brat-style fishnet socks. As for the make-up, both showed off a smokey eye that goes from black to bronze to silver. To complete your look, don't forget the wigs: bubblegum pink for Adèla and jet black for Charli.

Sophie Baek and Benedict Bridgerton

Dear dear readers, do you remember when Sophie Beckett and Benedict Bridgerton met for the first time during the grand masked ball wanted by high society? It was a real stroke of lightning and the costumes played a fundamental role in creating its magic. From that moment on, Sophie is transformed into the 'silver lady': the Cinderella of Mayfair who disappears at midnight. The dress was made of silver lamé chiffon, with an artisanal embroidery covered with sequins, glass beads and Swarovski crystals: in short, you have to bet on something fairytale and romantic. Unlike other masks that cover only the eyes, that of Our Lady is a handmade opaque lace half mask, designed to cover a large part of the face and justify the fact that Benedict cannot recognize it later. As for accessories, opt for lace or satin gloves and clips to apply through your hair. Now let's move on to Bridgerton's golden bachelor: here the look is very reminiscent of that of adventure heroes, like Zorro. Benedict wore an outfit with soft lines in nighttime tones such as dark green and midnight blue, combined with open-collar shirts. The mask is very easy: all you need is a black domino model and you're done!

Lizzie Borden and Bridget Sullivan

Did someone say 'perfect Halloween costume of a sapphilic couple'? We don't know if anyone said it, but we definitely have the answer: the intimate and complex relationship between Lizzie Borden (Ella Beatty) and her waitress Bridget Sullivan (Vicky Krieps) staged in the Netflix series Monster. To achieve Lizzie's look, you'll need a Victorian-style dress or a puff-sleeved shirt with a high collar in white lace. As for makeup: tie your hair, your face should be pale and your lips burgundy. Complete the glam with fake blood shed from head to toe. If, on the other hand, you impersonate Bridget, choose a classic waitress dress or a period fantasy and select the right accessories: such as an apron and a canvas cap.

Emily Cooper and Chef Gabriel by Emily in Paris

Bonjour, for the spooky season were you thinking of organizing a trip to Paris? Because there is a couple you should definitely take inspiration from for your costume. We are talking about the romantic duo formed by our Emily in Paris and chef Gabriel. To recreate the look of the character played by Lily Collins, you will obviously need a French beret (red, yellow or checkered): the key piece to make her immediately recognizable. Blazers and wide-shouldered garments will be your allies in this outfit. Finally, the smartphone case in the shape of a vintage camera cannot be missing, which he has used in almost the entire narrative arc of the series. For the star chef, on the other hand, a kitchen apron in dark canvas or leather over a neutral t-shirt is enough. A plus? Choose a pan as a 'prop', one of the symbols that represents the love story between the two.

Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan

If you are two indecisive friends looking for a costume, maybe pop culture can really help. These days, everyone is talking about the incredible collaboration between Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan for the Expectations remix and video clip, a perfect inspiration for a pure 80s TV\ Retro look: the singers have two very different aesthetics, and yet they have found a meeting point. For Olivia, a preppy vintage touch will be needed: a fencing corset or black bustier with metallic studs/reflections combined with a short layered tulle skirt. Leave your hair loose and go in soft waves, completing the hairstyle with a large pink or white bow. Chappell, on the other hand, wears a red/tartan plaid bustier corset to match the pants. The distinctive elements? A black tutu with small silver scales and a black hat with a red bow, inspired by punk-glam. Olivia's makeup is total hot pink, while Roan's remains faithful to her style, with scenographic eyeshadow and porcelain skin.

Spider-Man & Jean Grey

We know, when you think of Spider-Man it's impossible not to imagine him next to his MJ, but after the success of Brand New Day, a couple costume with his new ally Jean Grey could be a winning choice. For Jean Grey, you can be inspired both by her classic green and gold dress and by her “teenage” version with a hoodie and updo chignon (obviously don't forget to show off a red hair like that of Sadie Sink). For our Peter Parker, on the other hand, opt for the classic full jumpsuit or a more practical and modern look with a themed t-shirt and jeans.

Olive & Adam: The Love Hypothesis

The protagonists of The Love Hypothesis, Olive Smith and Professor Adam Carlsen, offer an immediate and super recognizable starting point for Halloween, perfect for those who love romance, but also STEM subjects. If you have a gown in your closet this is the time to wear it somewhere other than your workshop: a Halloween party. In fact, the badge and gown will be enough to do the whole look. For Olive's style, however, there are some tips to follow: the hair must be collected in a messy way and as a prop you can choose between eyeglasses, candies or a glass of American coffee.
