– Additional reporting by Shannon Vestal Robson, Lauren Harano, Haley Lyndes, Alessia Santoro, and Becky Kirsch
Marie and Malcolm From Malcolm & Marie
For Marie: Dressed in a tight-fitting pewter gown with cutouts and a thigh-high slit, Marie wears some sexy looks – are you ready to bring the heat?
For Malcolm: Malcolm’s wardrobe appears to be a post-night-on-the-town style, wearing a white collared shirt, slacks, and a loosened tie.
Zack and Kelly From Saved by the Bell
For Kelly: Anything cropped, neon, or off-the-shoulder will do. You could also spring for a t-shirt with The Max’s logo or a Bayside High sweatshirt. Don’t forget to spray those bangs up!
For Zack: A blonde wig is a must, along with a collared shirt (don’t forget you’re preppy!), baggy jeans, and old-school high-tops. A giant fake cell phone will really complete the look.
Daisy and Jay From The Great Gatsby
For Daisy: A glittery, 1920s-style dress with a jewelled headband. Don’t forget tons of jewellery.
For Jay: A tux, a Champagne glass, and a smile.
Logan and Veronica From Veronica Mars
For Veronica: You’ll definitely need blonde hair. Add a leather jacket and flat boots, and carry around as many gadgets as possible – a camera is a must.
For Logan: You can either go with Logan the Marine (from the movie) or original Logan. Old-school Logan requires a puka-shell necklace and some surf duds. No matter what, be broody.
Daenerys and Jon Snow From Game of Thrones
For Daenerys: Long snow-white hair and tasteful Winter clothing will turn you into the beautiful Daenerys Targaryen in no time. Make sure to curl your long locks and bring a dragon as your trusty accessory.
For Jon Snow: One of the most iconic characters we’ve seen, being Jon Snow should for sure be on your radar this Halloween. Bundle up in your largest faux-fur coat, flaunt your curly hair or slick it back into a low pony, and if you can, grow a ‘stache.
Kristoff and Anna From Frozen
For Anna: You can take your pick from a couple of Anna’s outfits; be fancy in her green dress for Elsa’s coronation ceremony, go for pink winterwear Anna, or you can go with casual Anna. Whatever you do, make sure you’ve got two red braids.
For Kristoff: Wear some gray, fur-lined clothes and a red belt, plus a little cap (and you get to wear UGGs!). Bonus points if you bring a stuffed Sven.
The Spartan Cheerleaders
For both: A red and black cheerleading outfit with a white sash that says “Spartans.”
Gloria and Jay From Modern Family
For Gloria: It’s all about the cleavage, the high heels, the curled hair, and the tight, body-hugging top and jeans.
For Jay: Keep things super casual with a long-sleeved t-shirt and jeans. Gray hair is a must.
The Culps
For Ana Gasteyer’s character: A printed dress with a curly wig and glasses.
For Will Ferrell’s character: A tan suit with a printed tie and a fake beard.
Garth and Kat
For both: A bright, colorful, cheesy vest with a turtleneck and a short blonde wig.
Damon and Elena From The Vampire Diaries
For Elena: Elena’s gorgeous long hair is her signature accessory, so you’ll need a straight brown wig or the real equivalent. Dress in dark duds like black and purple, and go for natural makeup. Don’t forget to add fangs and a little fake blood.
For Damon: Gel that hair into a perfect coif, and keep it simple with a black t-shirt and sleek leather jacket. Fangs complete the look.
Lucious and Cookie Lyon From Empire
For Cookie: Leather, fur, a skintight dress, and sky-high heels. The more outrageously fabulous, the better.
For Lucious: A swanky double-breasted suit with a flashy tie and pocket square.
Vision and Wanda From WandaVision
For Vision: While WandaVision flashes through multiple decades, Vision’s iconic superhero look remains the same. To achieve Vision, paint your face red and silver. Then, pick your decade for the outfit! Vision from the ’50s is always a good one.
For Wanda: Wanda’s style transforms drastically throughout the decades, but her ’50s and ’70s fashion moments are some of our personal favourites. The most important characteristic of Wanda’s look is her red hair, and if you want to look extra superhero, go for her present-day look!
Gamora and Star-Lord From Guardians of the Galaxy
For Gamora: The most important thing here is the green full-body paint. Beyond that, any tight-fitting futuristic leather outfit will do, along with a utility belt for your weapons.
For Star-Lord: Wear a leather jacket or vest, some facial scruff, an old-school Walkman with headphones, and a smile. Bonus points if you can fashion or buy his mask.
Edward and Bella From Twilight
For Bella: Red contact lenses, fangs, and whitewashed makeup with her standard jeans-and-Converse attire. Don’t forget your giant ring.
For Edward: Tousle the hair, wear fangs, and go for a simple t-shirt and jeans.
Simon and Daphne From Bridgerton
For Simon: Simon’s style isn’t like those of his superiors. It is bold, enchanting, and eventually colorful (did you notice the more he gets to know Daphne, the more colourful his outfits become?). To embody Simon, try out a black waistcoat and a paisley undershirt, and don’t forget a green brooch!
For Daphne: For Daphne, a pale-blue dress, elbow-length gloves, and a simple necklace are enough to represent the Bridgerton family’s eldest daughter.
The Butabi Brothers
For all three: A solid blue or purple suit with a black t-shirt and a chain necklace. Wear lots of gel in your hair.
Catherine and Vincent From Beauty and the Beast
For Catherine: Go for sleek hair, beautiful makeup, and a sharp, all-black outfit with a fake police badge.
For Vincent: Create the signature cheek scar using makeup, then sport a standard t-shirt with jeans.
Usnavi and Vanessa From In the Heights
For Usnavi: To channel Usnavi, wear brown boots, jeans, and a gray T-shirt.
For Vanessa: Channel Vanessa by wearing a blue-and-red crop top, jean shorts, and white sneakers.

For Kermit: Wear a green collar with a frog mask or paint your face green.
Star and Barb From Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
For Star: Star’s vacation style is a Midwesterner’s dream, wearing white culottes, a white tank top, a colorful blouse, and a lei.
For Barb: Similar to Star, Barb’s vacay style involves culottes, a patterned blouse, and a lei – except she’s a bit more colorful in pink. Head to Kohl’s, JCPenney, Old Navy, Chico’s, or Sears to grab these styles – that’s where designer Trayce Gigi Field got most of Star and Barb’s clothes from!
Ron and Hermione From Harry Potter
For Hermione: Go for a casual, tomboy-inspired look with jeans, a hooded sweatshirt, a quick ponytail, and – of course – a wand.
For Ron: Everyday clothes are fine, but the red hair is a must have, so invest in a short wig.
George and Peppy From The Artist
For Peppy: Go all-out talkies era with a glamourous dress, a flapper hairdo, pearls, and heels.
For George: It’s all about the suit, the bow tie, the slicked-back hair, and the mustache. If you have a Jack Russell Terrier, all the better!
Mitch and Cameron From Modern Family
For Mitch: Wear a red wig with a short beard and a white collared shirt under a cardigan.
For Cam: The shirt makes the costume: it must be patterned with a collar and cuffs in a loud, contrasting print.
Wayne and Garth From Wayne's World
For Wayne: Black Converse sneakers, old ripped jeans, a long brown wig, a black t-shirt, and a black Wayne’s World hat.
For Garth: Black Converse sneakers, washed-out jeans, a white band t-shirt under a blue plaid shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a shaggy blonde wig, and black-rimmed glasses.
Claire and Jamie From Outlander
For Claire: A big tartan skirt with a blouse over it and a gigantic woolly scarf.
For Jamie: A tartan coat over a white shirt with a brown vest over it. Rock a red wig.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch From the Avengers
For Scarlet Witch: A black miniskirt and tank under a red leather jacket, black knee socks, boots, and leather arm warmers.

Jim and Pam From The Office
For Pam: Pair a collared shirt or cardigan with a pencil skirt, then go for half-up hair. For extra recognition, wear a Dunder Mifflin name tag.
For Jim: Dress pants, a shirt, and a tie make up Jim’s usual attire.
Missandei and Grey Worm From Game of Thrones
For Missandei: A long black jacket with black pants and high-knee boots are the essentials for this costume. Don’t forget that you can also wear her iconic blue crisscross dress, but that might be a little harder to find.
For Grey Worm: A head-to-toe gray outfit is the direction you want to go in when you dress up as Grey Worm. Make sure to have on some tough armor along with gloves and a sword. Oh, also don’t forget a devilishly sexy fighting face.
R and Julie From Warm Bodies
For Julie: Wear a green cargo jacket over a tank top, jeans, and boots. Put on a blonde wig, and pack some (fake) heavy artillery.
For R: A red hoodie zipped over a worn t-shirt. Gray zombie makeup. Stare at your Julie and grunt approvingly.
Katniss and Peeta From The Hunger Games
For Katniss: Going for the Games look? Sport the signature side braid, green cargo pants, boots, an anorak, and a backpack filled with arrows.
For Peeta: A t-shirt, work pants, boots, and maybe a bit of ruddy face paint on the cheeks, and you’re good to go.
Emma and Hook From Once Upon a Time
For Emma: A red leather jacket, black pants, and black boots.
For Hook: A black leather cape, leather pants, boots, and duh: a hook.
Iron Man and Pepper Potts
For Pepper Potts: A shoulder-length strawberry-blonde wig with bangs and a professional gray business suit with a skirt.
For Iron Man: If you don’t want to spend time building an elaborate Iron Man costume, go for the regular Tony Stark. A black t-shirt and jeans will work so long as you have that glowing hole in your chest that’s keeping you alive.
Phil and Claire From Modern Family
For Claire: A button-down with a pair of cute skinny jeans and a blonde wig. Carry a laundry basket around for maximum effect.
For Phil: A plaid button-down and khakis. Make your hair extra jet black.
Suzy and Sam From Moonrise Kingdom
For Suzy: Go retro with a pink long-sleeved shift dress, knee-high socks, and a vintage suitcase.
For Sam: Top off a standard Boy Scout uniform with glasses and a furry raccoon cap.
Peter and Lara Jean From To All the Boys: Always and Forever
For Peter: A simple pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and a sweatshirt will do.
For Lara Jean: Lara knows how to stand out when it comes to fashion; heck, even Peter notices how stylish she is. To achieve Lara’s everyday style, think preppy meets the ’90s – a collared button-up, a pair of khaki pants or a skirt, and platform shoes accompanied by a cute backpack. Oh, and make sure your pants have a back pocket for Peter to slip his hand into!
Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci From House of Gucci
For Patrizia: To channel this real-life power couple played by Adam Driver and Lady Gaga, you’ll need ’80s-glam ski outfits. For Patrizia, think black turtleneck, faux-fur hat, and lots of chunky gold accessories and jewelry.
For Maurizio: A chunky cable-knit turtleneck sweater paired with white ski pants should do the trick here. Oh, and some oversize ’80s glasses.
April and Andy From Parks and Rec
For April: Wear jeans and a hooded sweatshirt over a printed tee – and be sure to perfect the signature eye roll. Bonus points if you can break into Spanish after a few drinks.
For Andy: A short-sleeved collared shirt, a tie, and a beard are the keys to Andy’s look. Talk about Mouse Rat whenever possible.
Claire and Owen From Jurassic World
For Claire: A white blouse, skirt, blazer, and heels, which are totally impractical for running from danger.
For Owen: A tan henley shirt and gray pants.
Snow White and Charming From Once Upon a Time
For Snow White: Look for classic fairy-tale attire, like capes and gowns, then add the Snow White touch with a bitten apple.
For Charming: Renaissance-era costumes will channel the perfect fairy-tale vibe – think boots, gloves, vests, and even a stick horse.
Nucky and Margaret From Boardwalk Empire
For Margaret: Channel the Prohibition era with a feminine skirt or dress, pearl accessories, and an eye-catching hat.
For Nucky: Go for the buttoned-up look with a sleek suit and a red carnation on the left lapel. Look stern at all times.
Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy From The Amazing Spider-Man
For Gwen Stacy: A feminine outfit, a classic trench, and a neat ponytail will help you channel Gwen Stacy.
For Spider-Man: Invest in a traditional Spider-Man suit – done and done.
Ted Lasso, Coach Beard, and Nathan Shelley From Ted Lasso
For all three: Navy sweat suits and yellow whistle lanyards.
For Ted: Add a visor, aviator sunglasses, and Ted’s classic mustache to differentiate yourself.
For Coach Beard: Add a hat, a clipboard, and sports sunglasses to complete the coach’s look.
Baby and Johnny From Dirty Dancing
For Baby: A white button-down knotted like a crop top and knee-high denim cutoffs will turn you into this movie icon.
For Johnny: A black tank top and pants are all you need to recreate Jonny’s look.
Cinderella and Prince Charming From Cinderella
For Cinderella: A big blue princess dress and a blonde wig.
For Prince Charming: An ivory brocade coat over pants and boots. Make sure your eyes and teeth sparkle.
Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey From Fifty Shades of Grey
For Anastasia Steele: Jeans, a plain t-shirt, Converse sneakers, and your hair down with bangs. Bite your lip a lot.
For Christian Grey: For business Christian, go with a sleek business suit with a gray tie. Slick your hair back and look as intimidating as possible.
Black Widow and the Hulk From Avengers: Age of Ultron
For Black Widow: A skintight black catsuit and a short red wig.
For the Hulk: A green muscle-bound top and jeans.
Tris and Four From the Divergent Series
For Tris: You’ll need lots of tight-fitting black leather, especially a jacket. Wear your hair in a ponytail, and tattoo some fake birds on your collarbone.
For Four: Pretty much the same; wear all-black everything and carry a gun.
The Joker and Harley Quinn From Suicide Squad
For Harley Quinn: You can either do Harley’s most well-known look in the movie, or wear a glittery dress similar to the one above. Just make sure your hair is dyed platinum blonde with Harley’s signature blue and pink tips.
For the Joker: In addition to the green hair and white face makeup, you can get a red button-down shirt and pair it with a silver tie and blazer. Or go shirtless and throw on a long, sparkly purple jacket and blue jeans.
Tarzan and Jane From The Legend of Tarzan
For Jane: A torn-up white or light yellow dress, smeared with dirt. Get yourself a wavy blond wig if you can, and paint a few scratches on your arms so it looks like you’ve been swinging through the jungle.
For Tarzan: A pair of dirty, khaki-coloured pants, and . . . that’s it.
Poussey and Soso From Orange Is the New Black
For Soso: A prison jumpsuit in a khaki colour, a black, shoulder-length bobbed wig, and black slip-on sneakers.
For Poussey: Poussey’s look is the same as Soso’s, only she usually just wears a white tank top instead of the full khaki shirt, and she rocks a close-cropped haircut. If you want to go the extra mile, make little badges with the characters’ names on them to stick on your pockets.
Captain America and Sharon Carter From Captain America: Civil War
For Sharon Carter: Since she’s an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., wear a professional pair of black pants and a light blue button-down. Feel free to add a blonde wig and a gun holster.
For Captain America: Since he’s such an iconic character, just pick up his trademark costume (you can always just wear a t-shirt with the Captain America logo on it, too!).
Sandy and Danny From Grease
For Sandy: A curly blonde wig, tight black jeans, an off-the-shoulder black top, and red heels. Add red lipstick and hoop earrings to really nail it.
For Danny: Hair slicked back to the extreme, a tight black t-shirt, and tight black jeans.
Rick and Michonne From The Walking Dead
For Michonne: A dirty tank top to show off your extremely toned arms, a leather vest if you have one, a pair of olive-coloured skinny jeans, and a bandana to put over your forehead to keep all the sweat you’ll work up from slaying walkers out of your eyes. Grab a fake katana to complete the look.
For Rick: If you’re going for an early version of Rick, a dirty, light brown cop uniform will do. In later seasons, he wears jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a sheepskin jacket. Splatter it all in blood, make sure your face is covered in scruff, and you’re good to go.
Wade and Vanessa From Deadpool
For Vanessa: Either a short, spiky brunette wig with streaks of colour or a long, curly brunette wig. Add a tiny and tight black miniskirt, a skimpy tank top, and thigh-high stockings with black booties. If you get cold, throw on a red plaid jacket.
For Wade: Rock Deadpool’s classic red and black costume, obviously (or jeans, a white tank top, and a red plaid coat).
Trey and Abbi From Broad City
For Abbi: You might as well wear matching outfits from Soulstice, right? Get a black Nike tank top, write the word “Trainer” across the front, and wrap a blue bandana around your ponytail.
For Trey: A black Nike tank top with the word “Trainer” like Abbi’s, with a blue bandana and some eye black. Make sure you pair the top with athletic shorts and sneakers.
Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps From Zootopia
For Judy: Gray bunny ears, a bunny tail, and a blue cop uniform.
For Nick: A pair of orange fox ears and a bushy tail, a green button-down, khakis, and a striped tie.
Mickey and Gus From Love
For Mickey: An oversize, unbuttoned plaid shirt, with a red bodysuit tucked into high-waisted jeans.
For Gus: Thick-rimmed glasses, a band t-shirt, and a short-sleeved plaid shirt with jeans.

Matt Murdock and Karen Page From Daredevil
For Karen Page: A blonde wig, a printed shirt or sweater, and a pencil skirt.
For Matt Murdock: A blue button-down, dark pants, red-tinted glasses, and a white cane. If you’d rather be his alter ego, opt for a tight, dark red shirt, pants with black accents, and his mask.
Beauty and the Beast
For Belle: A huge yellow ballgown. Curl your hair and pin it half up.
For the Beast: A blue velvet overcoat with a frilly white shirt over your beast headpiece. (You really need something with horns.)
Beck and Joe From You
For Beck: Beck’s cool-girl vibe is the thing that attracts Joe in the first place, and to channel that, you’ll need to wear a pink satin bomber jacket with a black shirt underneath. Curl your hair and tousle it so it’s messy but sexy.
For Joe: Being a creepy stalker doesn’t mean you have to look like one. Joe’s style is totally collected and cool, consisting of basic tees, jeans, and hats when he needs to hide.
Arya and Gendry From Game of Thrones
For Arya: To re-create this Games of Thrones character, wear a brown leather jacket with a high neck or turtleneck underneath. Pull half of your hair back to create a half-up, half-down hairstyle.
For Gendry: You’re going to need a little dirt for this one. Pull on a fur jacket or vest, and rub your face and body with dirt to capture Gendry’s typical look.
Robin and Steve From Stranger Things
For Robin: Unless you want to be a total dingus, you should definitely dress up as Robin from Stranger Things. Her Scoops Ahoy outfit is the most notable, so we advise wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt with a navy vest and white collar on top.
For Steve: You’ll need Steve’s iconic Scoops Ahoy outfit, luscious brown hair, and probably a sexy stare, too. You can also add an ice cream scooper to finish off your look.
Mia and Sebastian From La La Land
For Mia: A yellow dress that moves with you, tap shoes, and a red wig.
For Sebastian: Black pants with a white shirt and tie. And Ryan Gosling’s face if you can find that anywhere.
Ed and Madeline From Big Little Lies
For Ed: To re-create this Big Little Lies scene, you’ll need a sharp tuxedo and nice shoes.
For Madeline: Wear a bohemian lace dress with a charming flower crown. Complete the look with beachy waves.
Rue and Jules From Euphoria
For Rue: Rue has the laid-back style that everyone has tried to achieve at one point, and this Halloween is the perfect time to channel this Euphoria favorite. Her vintage-inspired outfits consist of oversize cardigans, plenty of printed button-down shirts, and, most notably, her go-to Converse.
For Jules: If you love Euphoria as much as we do, being Jules for Halloween is at the top of your list. While you could opt for one of her pastel-colored babydoll tops with a pleated skirt and platform sneakers, you could also try something a little more daring by dressing up as what she wears to the Halloween party. Her angel costume consists of a long white dress, pronounced wings, and runny makeup.
Aladdin and Princess Jasmine From Aladdin
For Aladdin: Commoner clothes with big dreams and a genie lamp are all you need to be this Aladdin character. Complete this costume with a red vest over a loose-fitting t-shirt, and get ready to be taken to a whole new world.
For Jasmine: You’ll want the finest jewels and tiaras in all the land for this Jasmine costume. Brightly colored dresses, glittering accessories, and a desire for endless adventure will turn you into this timeless princess. Don’t forget Rajah!
Diana and Steve Trevor From Wonder Woman
For Diana: A red, gold, and blue bodysuit with a gold headpiece.
For Steve Trevor: An old-timey pilot’s costume, like a brown leather jacket under another army fatigue jacket.
Dolores and William From Westworld

For William: Brown pants and shirt with a leather vest on top. Top it off with a big cowboy hat.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man and MJ From Spider-Man: Far From Home
For Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Brown khaki pants with a plain white t-shirt and blue flannel shirt will make this ordinary Spider-Man look come to life. Add a backpack and white sneakers to really get in character. Oh, and if you want to look like Spider-Man in action, that will require the head-to-toe ensemble.
For MJ: This character wears cute and casual outfits for most scenes. Copy her look by wearing a graphic tee, a black cardigan, and jeans.
Lenny and Sister Mary From The Young Pope
For Sister Mary: A nun’s habit and tinted glasses.
For Lenny: A white pope costume complete with hat.
Simba and Nala From The Lion King
For Simba: If you have a full, luscious wig and a determined attitude, being Simba for Halloween is right up your alley. Find as much fur and hair as you can, then put on a little face paint to add to the animalistic features.
For Nala: Lion ears and tasteful face paint are all you need to transform into Nala. Wear tan clothing, a fuzzy jacket, and whiskers if you want to give this look an added boost.
Sasha Tran and Marcus Kim From Always Be My Maybe
For Sasha: A powerful celebrity chef, Sasha always looks stunning. From the lavish gowns and accessories she wears to restaurant openings to the trendy daytime outfits she wears with Marcus, this boss knows how to dress. Be sure to pair your look with chic and pronounced glasses and a bright beanie.
For Marcus: Marcus always liked to be casual and stay true to his humble roots. He can be seen wearing jeans and t-shirts to classy events along with a way-too-big suit jacket. Wear a button-up shirt with light-wash jeans and sneakers to complete his look.
Woody and Bo Peep From Toy Story 4
For Woody: Giddy up, partner! Get in the Toy Story 4 spirit by dressing up as everyone’s favourite sheriff. You’ll have to snag a yellow plaid shirt, a cowhide vest, blue jeans, and a big ole cowboy hat.
For Bo Peep: A classic and beloved character, Bo Peep is one of the cutest costumes out there. You’ll need a baby blue jumpsuit with a violet shawl and big pink bow. Don’t forget your shepherd’s crook!
Chidi and Eleanor From The Good Place
For Chidi: Chidi is always well-groomed and in sharp outfits. You’ll need khaki pants and a button-up shirt with nice shoes and a belt to pull off this Good Place character.
For Eleanor: Eleanor can always be spotted in a casual yet somewhat put-together outfit, so strive for that. Wear jeans with a t-shirt or blazer, and that’s really all you need to be as forking cool as Eleanor.
Johnny and Moira Rose From Schitt's Creek
For Johnny: Pronounced eyebrows, a nice suit, and high hopes will turn you into the iconic Johnny Rose from Schitt’s Creek. He is a man of principles and morals, so don’t leave those behind.
For Moria: She’s eccentric and over-the-top, so if you want to be Moira Rose, you need to go big or go home. Find the most ex-soap-star outfit you can – we are talking feathered dresses, high-collar button-ups, and tight skirts – then pair that with chunky jewellery and put on all the red lipstick you can. Prepare to make an entrance.
T'Challa and Nakia From Black Panther
For T’Challa: There are some adult-size Black Panther costumes floating around, but you can also DIY by wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and black pants and adding the silver designs around the neckline and forearms yourself. Tell everyone you’re already preparing for Black Panther 2.
For Nakia: Nakia is always in shades of green, so go with an olive-toned dress that has a high neck, cutouts, and long sleeves. Also bring along a gold clutch full of secret spy trinkets from Wakanda. With the sequel on the way, this costume couldn’t be more perfect.
Gomez and Morticia Addams From The Addams Family
For Gomez: A pinstripe suit.
For Morticia: A long black gown with a deep V neckline.
Jughead and Betty From Riverdale
For Jughead: Wear a dark t-shirt, an unbuttoned plaid shirt in darker tones, jeans, black boots, and a gray hat (that looks like a crown, preferably). If you’re feeling creative, you can also wear a leather jacket with a snake stitched on the back.
For Betty: Wear a tight sweater with a white collared shirt underneath and jeans. Pull your hair back into a perky little pony, and plaster a smile on your face. Bonus: you could be “Snake Dance Betty” and rock black, lacy lingerie underneath a baby blue button-down shirt and light pink skirt.
Tethered Adelaide and Gabe From Us
For Tethered Adelaide: A red long-sleeve jumpsuit and a pair of scissors.
For Tethered Gabe: A red long-sleeve jumpsuit and a baseball bat.
Amy and Sheldon From The Big Bang Theory
For Amy: Normally in geeky attire, Amy’s outfits rarely change, but this Halloween, you could dress up just like Amy did for The Big Bang Theory‘s finale. A lavish dress with lace and feathers will be needed as well as her iconic glasses.
For Sheldon: If you want to win a Nobel Prize this Halloween, dressing up as Sheldon Cooper will do the trick. Wear a tasteful suit complete with a white bow tie, and finish off the costume with your finest gold medal.
Fleabag and The Priest From Fleabag
For Fleabag: Leave your filter at the door and throw on your favorite striped tee when you step into the character of Fleabag. This dry-witted woman keeps people on their toes, so be sure to do the same.
For The Priest: You’ll just need to wear a green priest costume over your clothes and add gold accents to it. Oh, try to be as hot as you can.
Adelaide and Gabe From Us
For Adelaide: A light tank top and jacket with a pair of capris pants.
For Gabe: A gray Howard University sweatshirt, shorts, and a pair of glasses.
Corey and Jane Chapman From Big Little Lies
For Corey: Embrace Corey’s laid-back vibes by wearing a casual tee with an orange flannel on top. Finish off the costume by adding an oversize olive green shirt with jeans and sneakers.

Kate and Tom From Last Christmas
For Kate: A leopard print coat, knit sweater, and jeans.
For Tom: A gray sweater, trench coat, and cargo pants.
Lucy Stevens and Tim Goodman From Detective Pikachu

For Tim: To pull off the true Tim Goodman style, you will need a black leather jacket with fur trim and a white tee with the iconic design. Now get out there and save the day!
Agent H and Agent M From Men in Black: International
For both: If you want to be as bad as this team, you’ll need to find a partner in crime and the most dangerous suit you can. To really get into character, you’ll need to go cause mayhem on the streets.

For Ramona: A faux fur coat with a bodycon midi dress, high heels, and gaudy jewelry.
For Destiny: A one-shoulder animal print shirt with form-fitting pants, high heels, and hoop earrings.
