Halloween 2025 is creeping up, and if you’re still planning to wing it with last year’s leftovers, think again my friend. Consider this your sign to officially recycle those mouse ears. Sorry, but your friends won’t be impressed if you rock them for another year in a row.
Between iconic cultural chaos and some very funny viral moments, there’s no shortage of inspo for a flawless Halloween costume this year. Whether you’re aiming for something low-effort or you’re on the hunt for the perfect couples costume, don’t stress. We’ve got you covered with costume ideas that are actually worth getting dressed up for.
Coldplay CEO Couple
The Astronomer CEO who was caught cheating on his wife via kiss cam at a Coldplay concert was not on our 2025 bingo card, but it is on our bingo card for the best couples Halloween costume this year. One of you wears a business casual button-up, the other a black tank top and a necklace. Halloween is meant to be messy, right? Embrace it.

Charli xcx & Lorde
Charli xcx and Lorde as a couples costume? Hello. Instant yes. One of you goes full pop-star, complete with big black sunglasses and a Charli xcx attitude. The other keeps it moody, understated and Lorde chic. You can likely make it work with items you’ve already got at home. This is a zero fuss costume that you can probably pull together the night before and means the dance floor is yours when “Girl, so confusing” inevitably comes on.

Putricia
Putricia the corpse flower, the plant that literally edged the nation until it bloomed, is the perfect mix of disgusting and unforgettable. She blooms once every few years, reeks like death, and still manages to draw a crowd. Sounds about right for Halloween. Go big with petals, smell-related props, and touches of green. Subtle? No. Effective? Absolutely. If you want to turn it into a couples costume, get a friend to dress up as the live-stream. How to do that? We’ll leave that one with you to get creative.

Babygirl
Going as the couple from Babygirl is one of the horniest things you can do this Halloween. Both of you can wear some business casual fits and skulk around like you’re just about to get it on in the office. Or float around in a silk robe holding a glass of milk à la Nicole Kidman, with your counterpart in a white singlet like the brooding Harris Dickinson. Go on, be sexy, it is Halloween after all.

Yo-Chi
Okay. Hear us out. If need a group costume that covers every member of the groupchat, we have one word: Yo-Chi. It’s a costume idea that has endless possibilities. One person can be the frozen yoghurt, another a strawberry and another some mochi. Plus, if you’re stuck thinking about what toppings Yo-Chi serves, use this as an excuse to pop into Yo-Chi just to check.

The Ratliff Siblings: The White Lotus
If you and two friends want to dress as the Ratliff siblings from the new season of The White Lotus, prepare to embody peak rich-kid dysfunction. It’s less about the linen sets and more about mastering the art of looking bored, judging everyone in the room, and pretending your family drama isn’t your full-time job. Bonus points for side-eyeing each other like you’re avoiding talking about that moment from the yacht.

Brain Rot
Why not honour all of the time you spend online by manifesting it in real life and dressing up as some Italian Brain Rot? You could be as elegant as Ballerina Cappuccina, sexy as Bombardiro Crocodilo or as cheeky as Chimpanzini Bananini. Plus, make sure you show your screen time as part of the costume, I’m sure that’ll be actually terrifying.

KPop Demon Hunters
Are you a trio of friends after a Halloween costume that’s hot and lets you actually move? Go as the KPop Demon Hunters. It’s a girl group with iconic outfits and killer choreography. All of the outfits are good, all you need to do is pick your fighter.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
Going as Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders means showing up to the party with all the sparkle and all the sass. Think high boots, sequins and a lot of hair spray. If you want an excuse to do some BIG HAIR, this is it. Be less spooky and more American glam this Halloween.

Labubu
Would it be Halloween in 2025 without someone dressing up as a Labubu? Think baggy hoodies, loose pants and quirky accessories like bucket hats or funky socks. Layer different textures and patterns to channel your inner Labubu. The real fun with this outfit will be how to execute the make-up. So get creative and dress as the internet’s favourite bag charm.

Addison Rae
It’s time to put your headphones on, because we’re going as Addison Rae to Halloween this year. You’ve got a whole range of iconic outfits to choose from. You could be VMA’s Swan Addison, 2008 Tumblr pink hair with purple hoodie Addison, or sultry “Diet Pepsi” Addison. Whichever you pick, you’re guaranteed to look fab as our favourite pop diva with the best outfits.

Carmy and Syd: The Bear
Carmy and Syd from The Bear is the ultimate duo if you want to show up looking like you’ve barely slept but somehow still run the show, party, event, etc. Dress up in some messy chef whites and if you want to step it up, add a stressed-out glare. It’s the perfect way to bring kitchen chaos without actually cooking. Plus, who doesn’t want to be Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White?

Wednesday Addams
If there is one night where Wednesday Addams is on theme, it’s Halloween. She’s gothic, moody and exactly what a good Halloween costume is meant to be. All you need is a black collared dress, black tights and shoes that look like they’ve never touched grass. Braid your hair tight (or throw on a wig), keep your makeup pale with a little under-eye moment and don’t speak unless it’s a passive-aggressive observation.

Etsy Witch
Etsy Witch is less broomstick, more WitchTok moodboard. Think patchwork skirts, vintage lace, ethically sourced crystals and a hand-poured soy candle in your pocket (you never know). An Etsy Witch isn’t just casting spells, she’s running a side hustle. She’s an entrepreneur. You could even cast some spells on the night and make some extra cash too, why not?

Katy Perry In Space
In the words of Katy Perry, its time to “put the ‘ass’ in astronaut”. Before heading up in the rocket, Katy Perry said she wanted to put the “glam” into space, so if you want to do intergalactically glam this Halloween, this is the costume for you. Plus you can walk around feeling “super-connected to love” among other things which is pretty neat. Thanks Katy Perry.
