What’s better than dressing up alone? Dressing up as an iconic duo with your best friend. While coordinating couples’ costumes are popular for spooky season, we also love duo Halloween costumes for any parties of two, whether they’re romantic or not. And when you look to pop culture’s biggest hits, there’s always plenty of dynamic duo costume ideas to go around.
For Halloween this year, we’ve got you and your best friend, sibling, roommate, or partner covered with the best costumes that channel famous duos from your favorite media. Maybe you’re both obsessed with famous pairs from the ’90s like Will Smith and Carlton Banks from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” or Cher and Dionne from “Clueless.” Or perhaps you’re looking for a best friend Halloween costume that pays homage to more recent onscreen besties like Anna and Maya from “Pen15” or Rue and Jules from “Euphoria.” Whatever your preference, our collection has something for everyone, with lots of options that are easy to DIY at the last minute using items you may already have in your closet at home.
From a wide range of old-school movies to brand-new TV shows, these duo costumes are the perfect mix of pop culture hotshots and nostalgic favorites. Check out our best ideas ahead, and if your duo expands into a whole crew, our guides to costume ideas for groups may be more helpful.
