Halloween Meets the Red Carpet: Movie-Themed Costume Ideas for Couples

It’s that time of year again: the nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping and the leaves are falling off the trees. The fancy dress opportunities of summer – festivals, beach parties, barbecues – seem like a distant memory, and that skimpy Baywatch costume doesn’t look like it’ll ever be worn again. But of course, the biggest and best fancy dress party of the year is still to come: Halloween!

Now is the time to start planning, and if you’re lucky enough to have a partner who’s a fan of fancy dress too, there’s no better way to impress the crowds than by coordinating your costumes and dressing as a famous duo from television or film. Here are some of the most fun and most sexy costumes for couples this Halloween…

Harry Potter & Wizard Wanda

Now that the final Harry Potter film has been released and the series has come to an end, people around the world are going to be looking to pay tribute to one of the most successful and popular movie franchises of all time. What better way to do so than with an uncannily realistic Harry Potter costume? Hermione might have been the heroine of the films, but with her stuffy and sensible school uniform you won’t raise any eyebrows at a Halloween party, so why not match Harry up with a cheekier, sexy Wizard Wanda outfit? You’ll be sure to cast a spell on the room.

Jack Sparrow & Angelica Malon

The handsome, charismatic and downright odd hero of the wildly popular Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Jack Sparrow is one of modern cinema’s most endearing heroes. What guy wouldn’t want to be as charming as Johnny Depp, not to mention have an excuse to go a bit over the top on the rum? Complementing the look with a stunning Angelica Malon outfit lets the girls feel like Penelope Cruz: fierce, confident and sexy.

Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy

If you’ve got a sense of humor about your relationship and you aren’t interested in looking ‘sexy’, then there aren’t many more appropriate costume combos than Kermit and Miss Piggy. Kermit is a true TV star, loved and recognized all over the world, and an all-round nice guy. And girls: if you’re a real diva, cute but volatile, and you like to keep your man reined in, then why not show it with a red dress, blonde wig and pig snout?
