Ummmm, how the hell is October upon us? It’s finally spooky season, but it also means the countdown clock for Halloween has begun. Here’s the game plan: You’re not going to panic buy a last-minute Raggedy Ann/Andy couples costume from CVS, nor are you guys going to slap on bell bottoms from college and be a hippies. Boo! (Pun unintended.) Amateur hour! Instead, Betches pulled together actually fun, cool, and diverse Halloween costumes you won’t have to cajole each other into wearing. Here’s to winning the costume contest!

There’s a zillion directions you could take on Queen Shonda’s Netflix empire. Colin and Penelope, Simon and Daphne, Kate and Anthony, or even George and Charlotte (young or old!). Bonus points if you can get your boo to grow some mutton chops.

Beef

Beef characters Amy and Danny are a great option for couples wanting to keep it low maintenance but fun. PS: Corn syrup and red food coloring make great realistic blood!

Bill And Frank From The Last of Us

Quite possibly the best and most heartbreaking TV episode of the year, “Long, Long Time” is ripe for the Halloween costume picking. Easily transform you and your sweetie into Bill and Frank with a dash of plaid and some strawberries.

What you need:

• Plaid button downs, strawberries, fake beards if necessary

Janine And Gregory From Abbott Elementary

Hopefully season 3 of the fantastically funny Abbott Elementary will finally give us the Janine and Gregory steaminess we crave, but till then, you and your boo thang can heat things up by dressing up as the adorkable Philly school teachers.

What you need:

• Teacher clothes, homemade school lanyards

Wednesday And Enid

Opposites attract besties and totes queer-coded characters Wednesday and Enid from Netflix series Wednesday are a perfect pair for WLW couples.

What you need:

• Black dress, wigs, pink and black outfits

T.Swift And Travis Kelce

You knew this one was coming! Buzzy couple du jour Taylor and Travis (Traylor? Tavis?) is an easy look to pull off for your Halloween festivities, and chances are your mans might even have Travis’ jersey laying around. Win-win!

What you need:

• RED everything, jersey, white sneakers

SpongeBob And Ariana

To really bring the lols on this one, somebody needs to fully commit and literally just wear a SpongeBob costume.

What you need:

• Pony wig, SpongeBob costume, oversized hoodie

Hailey And Justin Bieber

We are all for any couples costume that allows someone to wear sweats. So paint those nails blueberry-mocha-tomato-summer-girl-pink and grab the mini dress, the Biebers have entered the building!

What you need:

• Mini dress, high heels, track or sweat suit, oversized hat

Ken And Lisa From Vanderpump Rules

Can’t believe I’m giving away my Halloween costume to the masses, but I’m feeling generous. Rope your pet into this one and pass them off as one of Ken and Lisa’s decrepit small dogs for the full effect.

• Lion pet costume (for Giggy), shimmery button downs, black pants, wigs

Barbie And Ken

You’re likely going to run into a plethora of Barbies at the function this year, might as well lean in and get your partner to play the part. Ken and Barbie make a perfect pairing and best of all you don’t have to stick to any one look from the film. There’s roller skating Barbie and Ken, disco party Barbie and Ken…

• Wigs, various costumes

Ariel And Prince Eric

Be part of their woooooOOooorld! This sweet costume will be a hit even if your entire friend group isn’t composed of Disney Adults.

• Red wig, mermaid leggings, flowy white shirt, boots

RiRi And A$AP Rocky (Or One of Her Super Bowl Dancers)

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are a great choice for the ever-so-stylish (or pregnant!) couple. You can probably pull clothes from your own closet! One of her adorable Super Bowl backup dancers could be a genius pairing, too, especially if Halloween ends up being chillier this year.

• Red carpet lewks, fur stole, bling, sunglasses

Daisy Jones And Billy Dunne From Daisy Jones & The Six

Messy-ass star-crossed lovers Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne could be a fun choice this year. You may even end up hanging on to the vintage threads you find for your ‘fits. There’s even potential to turn this one into a group costume.

• Fur coat, ‘70s vintage, sunglasses, boots, wigs

Tom And Shiv From Succession

The most toxic couple on television this year is a great source to pull from this Halloween. Just Girlboss your heart out with a fuck ass bob and blazer combo. Then cuck-ify your mans with Tom’s signature gray flannel suit. This is also a good pregnancy costume!

• Red bob, suits, DIY Waystar Royco badges

Kendall And Bad Bunny

Another great option for people who basically just want to Look Hot: NBA courtside fixture Kendall and Bad Bunny. Don’t forget to bring the 818 to the party.

• Bottle of 818, mini dress, sunglasses, baseball cap

The White Lotus Cast

Really any pairing from The White Lotus could work this Halloween, but fan-favorite Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya will be a surefire hit. Even better, one of you goes as Tanya, the other, Peppa Pig.

• Mismatched tops and bottoms and bucket hat for Portia, barely-there mini dresses for Lucia and Mia, sexy resort wear for Daphne and Cameron

Kourtney And Travis

Kravis is a great option for all the newlyweds, soon-to-be weds, or Bad Boys and Girls. Just make sure you’re not stealing anybody else’s wedding country. I mean costume!

• White/black mini dress, leather jackets, veil, boots, sunglasses

Biljana And DJ Crazy Times

The delightfully weird TikTok meme and parody song is an under-the-radar but super clever choice for the chronically online couple. Make sure you hijack the DJ booth for an impromptu performance.

• ‘90s club kid clothes, big sunglasses

Ariana And A Worm With A Mustache

Silly, funny, and kinda genius. Don’t dignify #Scandoval with an actual costume. Dress up as the most hilariously dumb insult James flung at him during the Vanderpump reunion.

• Red cutout dress, worm costume, mustache
