Halloween is nearly upon us, and if you’re queer, you know what that means: It’s our season. ICYMI, Halloween is practically an LGBTQ+ national holiday. A whole month (yes, here in this queer household we celebrate Halloween all October long), dedicated to the freaks and weirdos and being your most flamboyant and/or unhinged self? Queer AF. Which is why I have to ask — why are couples costumes so insufferably straight?If you’ve maxed out on browsing Spirit Halloween’s aisles, parsing through an overwhelming barrage of embarrassingly hetero couples costumes (don’t get us started on this truly upsetting plug-and-socket costume), then this is the couples costume list for you. We’ve done away with gender-normative Halloween costumes and replaced them with couples costumes of the queer variety. Because let’s be real: is there anything gayer than a couple’s costume? Trick question. So whether you’re a couple looking to commandeer the year of Barbie with an unforgettable costume (if you made your childhood Barbies scissor, you know there’s a lesbian Halloween couples costume just begging to be explored), wanting a reason to re-wear your Béyonce Renaissance Tour outfit, or creating the perfect vibe for your Halloweekend séance, this list is packed with the gayest, most sapphic and outrageously queer options for you and your boo. Keep reading to explore everything from the weird and witchy to iconic and infamous for the best couples costumes for LGBTQ+ folks this Halloween, no matter where you fall in the queer alphabet. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

Wednesday Addams and Enid SinclairAs far as lesbian Halloween couples costumes go (or wlw, however you identify!), this is one of our faves. We are totally obsessed with the Netflix couple’s grumpy/sunshine dynamic, which is the perfect pairing of goth and rainbow queer. Putting together this costume should be a breeze, too. There’s no shortage of Wednesday-inspired fashions out there this fall, like this black and white stripe cardi, as well as multi-colored counterparts for Enid.Shop SheinSheIn Striped Pattern Button Front Cardigan, $, available at SheInSheIn Drop Shoulder Rainbow Ombre Sweater, $, available at SheInNetflixBert and ErnieIs there any more iconic gay couple than Bert and Ernie? We think not. All you and your “roomie” need to make this costume a reality are coordinating striped shirts, like these ones from Walmart. Cozy!Shop WalmartMad Engine Bert and Ernie Sesame Street Striped Shirt, $, available at WalmartPhoto: Peter Bischoff/Getty Images.Harley Quinn and Poison IvyThey’re here, they’re queer: it’s canon. In the new Harley Quinn animated series, she and Ivy are full-on married and full-on adorable. Explore your villainous side with any of the pair’s iconic comic book looks. We’re totally into show-Ivy’s simplistic blazer and leggings look, which is totally re-wearable, but there are too many Harley looks out there to even start to decide our fav. Just make sure to steer clear any Harley merch that says “Daddy’s Little Monster” on it — after all, she and Mr. J are so done.

Regardless of gender identity or sexuality, there’s no denying the love between Bob Ross and his happy little trees. It’s also one of the lower lift costumes, as it requires no more than a light blue shirt, an afro, and some sort of brown/green bodysuit or leotard combo.Shop Everlane and ASOSEverlane Silky Relaxed Shirt Blue, $, available at EverlaneASOS Micro Modal Long Sleeve Jumpsuit, $, available at ASOSPhoto: PBSCheerleaders From BottomsSapphics were served a large helping of delight this summer in the form of the queer teen movie Bottoms. I’m hoping to see at least one lesbian couple dressed up as Josie and Isabelle in their cheerleader fight finale best. Just don’t forget the fake blood!Shop AmazonACSUSS Cheerleader Outfit, $, available at AmazonFrog and ToadThere’s something innately bisexual about frogs. Don’t ask us to explain it, just browse any of the thousands of bisexual frog memes on the internet for more clarification. That’s why we think Frog and Toad are a perfect Bi4Bi couples Halloween costume. The cottagecore duo have fully transcended the “roommates?” categorization ever since the author’s daughter confirmed in a 2016 interview that of course, they are “of the same sex, and they love each other.” All you need are matching earth-toned blazers and pageboy caps, which… we feel pretty confident are already in most bi’s closets. Our recommendation? Splurge on the most fabulous Halloween party entrance on the pair’s signature tandem bicycle for maximum costuming impact.Shop Amazon and WalmartKent Bicycles 21 Speed Dual Drive Tandem Adult Bike, $, available at WalmartWonderful Fashion Pageboy Cap, $, available at AmazonBarbie and BarbieHi Barbie! We know that this is the year of Barbie Halloween, and just because you’re queer doesn’t mean there’s not a Barbie couple’s costume for you. If the movie made one thing clear it’s that Barbie does not need a Ken. That’s why we think you and your gal pal should couple up as two Barbies! We recommend Stereotypical and Weird Barbie as a fun pairing — after all, she’s always doing the splits already — or Barbie and her earth-universe soulmate Gloria is another great option. Check out our full Barbie Halloween costume guide for more specifics, or just grab this pink jumpsuit to get started.Shop SheinSheIn Berry Zip Front Belted Jumpsuit, $, available at SheInPhoto: Warner Bros.Ken and KenIf Barbie leans a little too femme for you and your partner, there’s a whole clique of Kens to choose from, too. The homoeroticism of Ken cannot be denied, and we love that Ryan Gosling’s Ken has a few fabulously flamboyant looks to choose from. We’d be remiss if we didn’t suggest going as classic BFFs Ken and Allen, though. After all, Allen has all of Ken’s clothes in his closet. Suspicious? Or just gay? You decide. Just grab one pastel striped button-down t-shirt and one rainbow one, and let the beaching each other off begin.Shop ASOS and EtsyASOS DESIGN Relaxed Linen Shirt In Pastel Stripe, $, available at ASOSSheelaTreasures Allan Barbie Movie Hawaiian Shirt, $, available at EtsyPhoto: Warner Bros.Thing 1 and Thing 2 We can’t think of a less gendered couple’s costume than this Dr. Suess duo. What even are Things 1 and 2? Are they twins? Just both into the same fashion trends? We’ll never know. But we do know we wouldn’t mind seeing them make out at a Halloween party.Shop Halloween CostumesDr. Seuss Thing 1 And Thing 2 Adult Costume, $, available at Halloween CostumesPhoto: Courtesy of Walmart.GoGo Dancer and Disco BallWe know you were one of the many queers who went all out for the Renaissance Tour this summer, and what better way to bring back out those incredible metallics than by dressing up as a GoGo dancer and a disco ball. After all, the disco is pretty much as gay as it gets.Shop SheinSheIn Disco Sequin Jumpsuit, $, available at SheInPhoto: Fluxion EntertainmentYour Astrological SignsEverybody knows an astrological queer, and I happen to be one of them. (Sorry, I’m a Libra sun and a Leo moon, I can’t help it!) If you and your paramour want to get a good laugh (while also looking totally fab), show your Zodiac pride by dressing the part. Though we could probs write a whole costume guide of how to dress for each of your signs, we recommend leaning heavily into accessories. For example, as a Libra, I’d walk around with scales all night (and totally get an amazing arm workout, too) or you could go full out like you’re on an episode of Drag Race and go full mermaid (if you’re a Pisces, of course). Shop WalmartLeg Avenue Iridescent Mermaid Skirt, $, available at WalmartPhoto: ParamountGBBO’s Paul and PrueQueer culture is all bout being cozy and flamboyant at the same time, and no couple espouses that aesthetic quite like Great British Bakeoff’s judging power duo, Paul and Prue. Grab an oversized button-down for Paul and a garish pair of spectacles for Prue (matching lipstick recommended), and you’re set. Investing in a grey wig isn’t a bad idea, either.Shop AmazonPHOCAS Short Grey Wig, $, available at AmazonPhoto: NetflixLike what you see?
