Tired of your Fred and Wilma costumes? Your Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow cosplays feeling too tired? The perfect couples costumes — ones that are timely but not overused — can be hard to come by. But thankfully, the past year of shows and movies have gifted us all with more than enough iconic duos to pull inspiration from this Halloween. From Wanda and Vision’s Halloween looks in Disney Plus’s “WandaVision” to Natasha Romanoff and Taskmaster’s action-packed battle scene in “Black Widow,” you and your partner have plenty of costumes to choose from this year. Here are the best Halloween couples costumes from your favorite T.V. shows and movies this year. “WandaVision” is absolutely loaded with costume ideas, go big and try and attempt to recreate the “Dick Van Dyke” and “Donna Reed” tribute, or opt for the easy option and buy the literal Halloween costumes from their 90s episode-spoof. Just make sure you call yourself a “sokovian fortune teller” and a “wrestler,” for accuracy sake. It only makes sense to wear Wanda’s outfit from the “very special” Halloween episode of “WandaVision” the “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!” Pink tights, red boots and her classic headgear nod to her earlier comic book roots as the Scarlet Witch. Of course, it isn’t a couples costume without Vision. Make your costuming partner dress up to complete the look from above. The set comes with a full bodysuit, gloves, shorts, cape and cowl with a diamond-shaped appliqué. Mando and Grogu might be the most adorable pairing to come out of this year’s slate of shows. The “Star Wars” spinoff is perfect for any duo looking for an updated costume this year. Transforming into the gunfighter is made easy with this cosplay mask, featuring the distinct T-shaped slits for eyes and nose, and made out of flexible PVC to fit a wide range of head sizes. If you really want to be prepped for Mando’s intergalactic fighting, especially to protect Baby Yoda, then you’ll want to go for this complete Beskar Armor set that Mando wears for his biggest battles. This duo costume makes the most sense as a parent-and-baby collab considering Mando and Grogu’s relationship, so this Grogu costume is the perfect costume pairing if you have a baby to dress up it up with. If your kid is a bit older, you can go for the kid’s version. Honor the iconic painter and television host this year with a painter’s palette, afro wig and tree painting. Plus, a new documentary about the PBS personality, “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed” is out on Netflix that will absolutely raise the awareness to this classic figure. This costume set comes with everything you need to transform yourself into the beloved artist. Pair the wig, painter’s palette, wig and beard with your own jeans and button-down for an easy look that everyone will recognize. Of course, Bob Ross isn’t complete without an idyllic scene he’s created with his own paint and brush. Your Halloween partner can don this easy-to-wear tunic dress decorated with one of Ross’s distinct scenery paintings. Barb and Star make the perfect best friends costume this year, giving you and a buddy a pass to tap into the unhinged antics of the Midwestern duo. Dress up in loud floral beachwear for an easy summer-themed costume, and add on a third friend as the villainous Sharon Gordan Fisherman clad in white. Barb loves a bright capri pant. These pink ones with an elastic waist are comfortable and fit the vibe perfectly. There’s nothing Barb loves more than a bright floral chiffon moment.
