1. Bonnie and Clyde Couples Costumes

You can’t talk about famous couples' costumes without mentioning Bonnie and Clyde Halloween costumes. The well-known outlaws shot their way across the central US back in the 1930s. The couple is famous for knocking off banks and small stores, and their overall reckless behavior. Already famous for their exploits, Bonnie and Clyde were further immortalized on the big screen by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in 1967. Their wild nature and classic style make them the perfect costume party options for couples who enjoy historical costume ideas.

2. Adam and Eve Couples Costumes

Adam and Eve Costume

Is there anything more timeless than the OG couple, Adam and Eve? While you can't really show up in your birthday suit to the party, these Biblical costumes should do the trick! (These funny couples costumes are certainly better than trying to DIY the real thing with leaves.) While this couples' outfit idea is great for anyone, we'd also highly recommend it for couples in a long-term relationship. The two of you were certainly meant for each other!

3. Peanut Butter and Jelly Couples Costumes

Peanut Butter and Jelly Couples' Outfit

If the two of you stick together just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, this couples' food costume idea might be just what you're looking for. You can't go wrong with a classic, after all! These gender-neutral tunic costumes are great for couples and friends of any gender. You just have to solve the dilemma of who gets to be peanut butter vs. jelly.

While this tale may be as old as time, it's harder to be more classic than this Disney couple. They showed us that beauty isn't just skin deep, and that lasting relationships need love. True love. If you want to show everyone at the party that your love for each other is the stuff of fairytales, perhaps dressing like Beauty and the Beast is for you!

5. Us Tethered Couples Costumes

Get ready to be the creepiest couple on the block by wearing a couple of tethered costumes.

You can also easily change this costume idea into a costume for two girls as there are several Joker costumes for women as well as men.

8. Devil and Angel Couples Costumes

There's nothing wrong with sticking with the classics. Many common pairs complement each other like salt and pepper, peanut butter and jelly and even avocado toast! However, if you're more of a fan of "opposites attract", choose a devil costume to pair with an angel costume for the perfect picture of good vs. evil.

9. Mario and Luigi Couples Costumes

One of the most versatile couples costumes around, Mario and Luigi costumes are great for brothers, twins and video game fanatics! Even ladies can get in on the fun with Super Mario Bros. costumes for women. However, with so many other characters in the franchise, you can pair plenty of other characters together.
