8 couples Halloween costumes that will arrive in time for Halloween
If you’ve ever attempted a couple’s Halloween costume (successfully or unsuccessfully), then you know just how rough it is out there. Not only do you have to find one that both of you agree on, it has to actually be worthy of your love. You know, the kind of costume that has your friends and family saying “Wow! Look how hot/cute/funny/clever/beautiful/brilliant/perfect/in love they are” all night long.
The only thing harder than choosing a couple’s costume is choosing a couple’s costume with days to spare. Combine the two and that’s a headache worse than any candy hangover. No shame, no shade, but it’s time to get on it. Thank god there are a ton of low-effort, high-reward couple’s costumes out there that will not only be a hit but will also actually arrive on time. From timely memes to iconic movie duos, we rounded up a handful of the best last-minute Halloween couple costumes that will actually ship in time. And, yes, there are a handful of comfy, cozy and lazy onesies on this list.
Best couples Halloween couples
1. Moo Deng and Zoo Keeper
Moo Deng and her slippery, bouncy body is one of the best things to come out of 2024. The virally popular pillow of a pygmy hippo from Thailand has won the hearts of the internet with her slippery, bouncy body, diva personality and all-around adorableness. And what’s Moo Deng without her Zoo Keeper? All you need for this costume is a gray onesie, a safari-esque hat and a Zoo Keeper tee and you’re good to go!

The Zoo Keeper costume is just as easy as the Moo Deng one. This fun shirt features drawings of two pockets, binoculars, a belt, a flashlight, sunglasses and a “Zoo Kepper” badge. It also comes in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Just pair it with this simple, packable sun hat (that you can wear over and over again).
Of course, you can’t forget to have your phone charged and out the entire night. How else are you going to capture every adorable Moo Deng antic?
2. Buttercup and Westley from The Princess Bride
We dare you to name a love story more romantic than Princess Buttercup and Westley’s. That’s right, you can’t. The iconic Princess Bride duo is an easy crowd-pleaser that will stand the test of time. Plus, the quote opportunities are endless — see how many times you can say “As you wish” throughout the night. Note: R.O.U.S. not included.
Amazon
While there are a few recognizable outfits Buttercup wears in the movie, there’s none more well-known than the bright red dress she dons when her and Westley are reunited — and then roll down a giant hill. This costume comes with both the dress and belt, but for $25 more you can get the full costume with an included Buttercup blonde wig.
Amazon
Become the Dread Pirate Roberts himself with his black pirate shirt, pants, sash, head scarf, eye mask and pirate gloves. The sword isn’t included, but the Szco Supplies Sword ($23) is a swashbuckling option. Now all you need is the farm boy’s unbeatable swagger.
3. Peanut Butter and Jelly
Do you and your boo go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly? Duh. Let the world know by dressing up as everyone’s favorite sammie. Yes, you should pack a PB&J to eat mid-party.
Spooktacular Creations
No need to get super creative here! Just slip on one of these foam tunics (both are included) over some black leggings or pants. Now all you need to do is fight about who gets to be what.
4. Taco Belle
Pun costumes are always a good time, and none is punnier than Taco Belle — which is just Belle from Beauty and the Beast and, well, a taco from Taco Bell. And if you and your better half get separated at any point, both of these work just as well on their own.
Qubskry
Go through your own magical transformation by slipping on the yellow dress directly from the famous ballroom scene. Available in sizes S to XXL, it includes both the dress and the gloves. If you want, you can even carry a single red rose to really drive the storyline home.
Amazon
All you need to become the Taco Bell taco you were born to be is this simple pull over costume. You can wear it over black pants like the model above, but you should go all out and pair it with purple pants and a tee for a more realistic homage to your favorite fast food joint.
5. The Grady Twins from The Shining
Couples’ costumes don’t always have to be cute, they can also be spooky. And the twins from The Shining are just the spookiest. Whoever doesn’t agree with that is lying.
Spadehill
The most important things you need for your Grady Twins costume are a haunting stare and a light blue puff-sleeve dress. This is available in sizes XS to 3XL, so you don’t have to be the same height to channel the spooky duo.
Complete the look with some fake blood, dark undereye circles, white knee-high socks, black shoes and a white barrette.
6. The New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers
Halloween is smack dab in the middle of the 2024 World Series this year, featuring a Yankees vs. Dodgers face-off. You don’t even have to be from New York or L.A. — or even a baseball fan — to pull off this low-effort but very timely look.
Amazon
You don’t need the whole pinstripes shebang — just pair a Yankees cap with a tee. Toss on your favorite jeans, munch on some Cracker Jacks and bust out a few bars of “New York, New York” every once in a while.
Amazon
A hat and tee in classic Dodger blue is all you need. Go the extra mile and channel the L.A. sunshine with a pair of sunglasses.
7. Dr. Ellie Sattler and a T-Rex from Jurassic Park
While Ellie Sattler and the T-Rex most definitely did not get along in the Spielberg flick, let’s just pretend they did for one night. Don’t want to be Ellie Satler? Dressing up as Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm or John Hammond work just as well.
Amazon
While we love Laura Dern more than life itself, whoever gets to be the T-Rex definitely wins. This inflatable costume is so much fun and will be the life of every party. It comes with a battery-operated fan so all you need to do is zip it up and turn it on. Plus, who doesn’t want to have an inflatable T-Rex costume hanging around the house?
8. Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc.
Ideal for couples with major height differences and very different personalities, Pixar’s Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan is a fun choice thats’ ripe for comedic gold. Make it easy with these Monsters Inc.-themed onesies. And when the night is done, just plop into bed — you’re already in your jammies.
Amazon
Put on your best Billy Crystal impression and climb into this super soft onesie with Mike’s iconic lime green skin and singular eyeball. Yes, you should tell Sully what to do the whole night.
Amazon
With the soft blue color and signature purple spots, you’ll easily transform into the cuddly and lovable Sully. No, literally — the fabric is soft enough to cuddle.
