6 iconic Halloween costume ideas for a duo
Planning on twinning with your bsf for Halloween? Get ready to slay the spooky szn with your bestie with these on-trend—and iconic, might we add—costume ideas. (Psst, you can even put them together with stuff you already have lying around the house!).
The Simple Life gals
Throw it back to the 2000's by dressing up as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in their Simple Life era. For Paris, grab all the denim (think: a corset or vest with a skirt) and accessorize with a choker and tall boots. For Nicole, pair overalls with a pink crop top and add a pitchfork or straw hat to complete the city-girl-meets-farm-life look.
Your two faves from Mean Girls
Dressing up as the characters from Mean Girls? So fetch! Be a study in contrasts by going as Cady Heron and Regina George. For Cady, opt for a red long-sleeve and a pair of dark wash denim low-rise jeans. Complete the look with pink nails, black boots and minimal makeup. As for Regina? All you need is a pink pleated mini skirt, a fitted white top and a cute cardigan. Seal the look by carrying a "Burn Book" as a prop.
Glinda and Elphaba
Jazz yourself up by going as a duo from the musical and upcoming movie Wicked! For Glinda, look for a tiered dress or skirt in pale pink and pair with a sliver wand and tiara. For Elphaba, all you need is a black dress or robe, a witch’s hat, a broomstick, and plenty of dramatic green makeup.
Party animals (x2)
Lean into the animal print trend by going as two punny "party animals". Grab coordinating skirts and tops (or dresses) in a single animal print and accessorize with party props like hats and streamers. Have some fun with makeup and face paint to complete the look of whatever animal you opt for.
Maleficent and Aurora
Continue with the classic movie Maleficent and dress up as the fairytale fave mother-daughter duo. For Aurora, grab a dress in a pastel shade (pink or light blue will do) and enhance your outfit with a tiara and soft makeup. For Maleficent, think of dark colors and dramatic accessories. Start your outfit off with a long-sleeved black dress or corset with a skirt, an iconic horned headpiece and a staff. Complete the look with dramatic makeup, including contoured cheekbones.
Remi and Linguini
This duo costume is super simple and super cute (a real chef's kiss, if you will). For Remy, wear a gray top or corset, a skirt, mouse ears and a tail (don't forget a spatula!). For Linguini, wear a white chef’s coat, black pants, or skirt and a chef's hat. Add a wooden spoon or rolling pin and a chef hat to complete the outfit.
