The Best Celebrity Couple Halloween Costumes of All Time

There have been plenty of iconic pairs throughout history: Lucy and Desi, Sandy and Danny, Frankenstein and his bride. Whether they’re real people or imaginary characters, the costume options for couples looking to dress up together are endless.
Yet not all famous couples costumes are created equal. The best celebrity couple Halloween costumes of all time are the ones that will be remembered for years to come for their creativity — we’re looking at you, Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz! — accuracy and recognizability.
From Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s hilarious turn as the stars of National Lampoon’s Vacation to Ciara and Russell Wilson’s incredibly realistic portrayal of Janet Jackson and Busta Rhymes, here’s a look back at the most dynamic celebrity costume duos to date.
Seal and Heidi Klum as Eve and The Forbidden Apple in 2006
Known as the “Queen of Halloween,” Klum has been one-half of her fair share of couples costumes over the years, but her stint as the Forbidden Apple to ex-husband Seal’s Eve was truly a masterpiece — from head (Klum’s was topped off with an ominous snake) to toe (Seal even wore leaves as shoes).
Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in 2010
Luuccccy, Harry’s home! Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna and her husband, Harry Hamlin, were the spitting image of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz on the red carpet for a Halloween charity event in 2010.
Justin Mikita and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne in 2014
Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and husband Justin Mikita made quite the pair while emulating Dumb and Dumber‘s iconic characters, Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels), in their infamous orange and powder blue suits. (In the movie, Lloyd was in orange, and Harry was in blue. The husbands still put out the vibe, though!)
Pink and Carey Hart as Gertie and Elliot in 2015
Pink and her husband, motocross legend Carey Hart, paid homage to classic ’80s cinema when they suited up as Gertie (played by a young Drew Barrymore) and Elliot (Henry Thomas) from the 1982 sci-fi flick E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to match their own little alien — daughter Willow Sage.
Justin Mikita and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Pedro and Napoleon Dynamite in 2015
Ferguson and Mikita struck costume gold again in 2015 with their turns as Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) and Pedro (Efren Ramirez) from the 2004 comedy of the same name.

Eniko and Kevin Hart as Gina Waters Payne and Martin Payne in 2015
Even Kevin Hart was impressed with wife Eniko Hart’s costumes in 2015 when they dressed up as Martin Payne (Martin Lawrence) and Gina Waters Payne (Tisha Campbell) from the ’90s series Martin.
“#Nailedit,” he wrote in the caption of a since-deleted Instagram post.
Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley as Tupac and Jada Pinkett Smith in 2015
A 1996 photograph of childhood friends Tupac Shakur and Jada Pinkett Smith inspired Chance the Rapper’s 2015 costume with then-girlfriend Kirsten Corley, whom he wed in 2019 and later split from after five years of marriage in 2024. The two emulated the ’90s pair’s poses to a T, with Corley wrapping her arms around The Big Day rapper while wearing a similar cutout turtleneck as Pinkett Smith’s and leaning her cheek against his head.
The Girls Trip star reposted the shot on Facebook in 2018, writing, “That dope a– Halloween throwback.”
Jeff Magid and Emily Ratajkowski as Homer and Marge Simpson in 2015
Emily Ratajkowski and then-boyfriend Jeff Magid — from whom she split in 2018 — showed serious commitment to spooky season at Klum’s 2015 Halloween party. For the occasion, they painted their skin a yellowish-orange hue to match the skin tones of Marge and Homer Simpson from The Simpsons.

Beyoncé and JAY-Z as Barbie and Ken in 2016
Barbiecore wasn’t even a thing when Beyoncé and JAY-Z put their own spin on the Barbie franchise with their 2016 Halloween costumes, complete with plastic boxes.

Her husband, Kaulitz, dressed as a fisherman with a hook in his eye, as shown in the creepy photo Klum shared on Instagram.
