From Game of Thrones‘ Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen to Grease‘s Sandy and Danny, iconic TV and movie duos have been inspiring celebrity couples costumes for decades.
The best celebrity couple Halloween costumes are the ones that give fans goosebumps long after the party ends. They’re clever, creative and instantly recognizable — think Joey Fatone and Izabel Araujo as The Shining twins in 2018 or Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker as Kim Boggs and Edward Scissorhands in 2021.
Of course, Heidi Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz have made Halloween unforgettable with their over-the-top duo costumes. At Klum’s annual Halloween party, they’ve stunned guests, dressing as everything from the fairy-tale pair Shrek and Princess Fiona in 2018 to a worm and a fisherman in 2022.
“I always try to find things that people naturally wouldn’t do,” the model told PEOPLE in 2023. “Most people do nurses or police officers, but I was always looking for something that I hadn’t seen. My goal is to not let any of my Halloween fans down.”
Here are the 36 most iconic celebrity couples costumes.
