Iconic Duo Costume Ideas for Halloween 2024
Autumn is underway, and that means that so many of us are turning our attention to the next big event – Halloween. Halloween is the perfect time to unleash your creativity when it comes to costumes, and this is twice as fun when there are two of you. Whether you’re looking to dress up with your other half or your best friend, there are a number of iconic duos that you can embody. You can become a spooky pair, a humorous double act, or an adorable couple – there are so many options to choose from to capture your vibe. To that end, below are some ideas you might consider when coming up with costume ideas for Halloween 2024.
Barbie and Ken
First up is none other than Barbie and Ken. Since the Barbie movie was released last year, it’s had a chokehold on the world. Make sure you’re recognizable as Barbie and Ken by embodying the “Dreamhouse Edition” of the pair. This costume will be all about vibrant colors and sparkles. So, grab your personalized bracelets for men, big sunglasses, and rollerblades, and you’ll dazzle as Barbie and Ken.
Wednesday and Enid
The TV Series “Wednesday” hit Netflix in 2022 and is anticipated to return in 2025. Therefore, fans of the show might take on the roles of Wednesday and Enid this Halloween, with one partner sporting a black dress and pigtails while the other brightens things up as Enid. Enid is all about color, meaning as a pair, you’ll embody the perfect combo of spooky and sweet.
Oppenheimer and Einstein
“Oppenheimer” and Barbie were released at the same time, which led to the coining of the term “Barbenheimer”. You can continue the buzz around the Christopher Nolan movie by taking on the somber and intellectual vibe of J. Robert Oppenheimer, complete with a fedora and suit. The other piece of the puzzle can take on the role of Albert Einstein, with wild hair, a mustache, and a chalkboard with scribbled equations. Not only is this a timely combination, but it’s also sure to kickstart ant conversations at Halloween parties.
Mario and Princess Peach
Mario and Princess Peach are timeless favorites in the costume world, but you can always add modern twists to set your costumes apart from the rest. For instance, you might consider a “power-up” version, in which Mario has his raccoon suit and Peach holds her pink parasol. You could even bring along props like mushrooms or gold coins, as these can really bring your characters to life, providing them with what they need to save the day.
The Witcher and Yennefer
If you and your dress-up partner are all about fantasy and drama, then dressing up as Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg from “The Witcher” could be a great idea. Leather armor, a silver sword, and a white wig are all you’ll need to embody Geralt. Meanwhile, you can embrace Yennefer’s elegance with a flowing black gown, intricate jewelry, and a confident magical aura. With this costume, you can rest assured that you’ll embody one of the most intense power couples in fantasy lore.
Beetlejuice and Lydia
A remake of Beetlejuice is being released this year, meaning it’s the perfect time to take on the roles of Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz. One of you can sport Beetlejuice’s black-and-white striped suit, wild hair, and ghoulish makeup. Meanwhile, the other can wear Lydia’s gothic red wedding dress or her all-black photographer outfit. This is the perfect costume for those who are all about macabre and humor combined.
Who will you dress up as this year?
