The perfect couples costumes — ones that are timely but not overused — can be hard to come by. But thankfully, the past year of shows, movies and viral pop-culture moments have gifted us all with more than enough iconic duos to pull inspiration from this Halloween. From Taylor and Travis to RFK Jr. and his brain worm, here are the best couples costumes to shop this Halloween:

You didn’t think you could get through this list without the queen of pop herself, did you? No matter what era you’re in, Halloween is time to be fearless–just like Taylor and her real-life love story.

In many ways, the parasitic worm that RFK Jr. claims ate away at his brain before dying in 2010, was one of the main characters of the 2024 election season.
