But, few decisions are bigger than how you’ll dress yourselves on the 31st of October — especially if you’re part of the elite cadre of romantically entangled Halloween superstars who insist on coordinating costumes. Dressing as a duo needs to meet all of the usual components of a great get-up — creativity, pop-culture relevance, etc. — but it also requires compromise. The merging of two artistic visions isn't easy!
What you and your partner choose to go as this Halloween says a lot about the state of your relationship: Are you the model of romantic harmony? On the rocks? Is yours a union of creative genius or, sorry to say, a little basic?
To help out, we took ten of the year’s most popular costumes for couples and broke down what they indicate about your relationship — whether you and your beau are actually wearing them, or just, uh, gently judging other guests at the party.
Olivia Pope & President Fitzgerald Grant
Scandal
Let’s be honest: Everyone is a little surprised that Fitz showed up to the party — we’re never entirely sure you two are actually together. While you may dream of having a house together in Vermont and making jam like the perfect storybook couple, it’s clear that’s never going to happen. Your duty to the U.S. of A. will always keep you apart — and by duty, we mean penchant for goblets of red wine, infidelity, and shouting heartfelt monologues.
Maybe tonight it seems like you guys are going to work it out — you look so nice in your pant- and business-suits! — but in the plain light of day, this one’s not going to last.
Rust Cohle & Marty Hart
True Detective
You are opposites, and opposites attract. Kind of. You’ve got an unexpected intellectual connection and an inclination toward weird, rambling conversations about the nature of time and memory. It’s hard to tell whether you’re really smart or just got a little too stoned one day in Physics 101.
But, when you’re not waxing philosophic, your differences become obvious, and it’s hard to imagine how you ended up together in the first place. In fact, you seem like you might be on the verge of killing one another.
This tension is compounded by the fact that one (or both of you) is always blindingly drunk.
Taystee & Poussey
Orange Is The New Black
You know how they say someone in a couple is always more in love? Well, that’s you guys. Whoever picked this costume was like: "Friend, we should dress up as a pair of best friends, because that’s what we are! Just friends."
And then that person went off and picked the most perfect oh-my-god-how-great-would-it-be-if-they-were-dating friends of all time. You’d literally go to prison for one another, and you have a near psychic connection when you play Celebrity.
Cute costume: But, seriously, tell her how you feel.
Olaf & Sven
Frozen
You guys are so much fun. You're the most fun. You’re goofy and lovable and everyone wants to hang out with you two all the time. When people talk about you, they say your names so fast it almost sounds like one word. (O-ven. Ha!)
You’re maybe not the most passionate couple, but who cares? You're the life of the party, especially in the winter. Now, who wants to build a snowman?
Gamora & Groot
Guardians of the Galaxy
Two words: body paint. She’s fierce, outgoing, strong, and could very easily kick your ass. He’s more of the strong and silent type — a man of few words (most of them being "Groot"). But you know what? You look good together.
Presumably, you called dibs on this duo after laughing your way through an 11 p.m. movie screening. In that case, you’re just pop culture enthusiasts who love a good summer blockbuster and fun (if incredibly intricate) costumes. But, on the off-chance that you’ve been planning this pairing since April, the only thing deeper than your love of Halloween is your inspiring nerd-love (and your profound knowledge of obscure comic books).
Aurora & Maleficent
Maleficent
This costume feels like some sort of Freudian bonanza.
Diagnosis 1: The partner in the Aurora cape is extremely lazy, never does the dishes, and naps constantly, and this ensemble was the passive aggressive suggestion of the dominant personality.
Diagnosis 2: Mommy issues.
Either way, you guys are hot, if a little weird.
Katniss and Peeta
The Hunger Games
Your conversations go something like this:
“Hi, Katniss! You maaaade it. Love your outfit! Can I get you something to eat? I'll bake you a cake!"
"Sup, Peeta.”
Everyone is totally sure that you guys have a great reason for being together, they just can’t quite say what it is. One of you is amazing, top-of-the-class, show-stoppingly gorgeous. Hell, even a little intimidating. The other is, um, really nice?
We’d all be super sad if you two broke up, but, also, we're kind of expecting it.
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez
He’s what we call a "legacy friend." You grew up together, and we’re pretty sure we all like-liked him at one point (oh, sleepaway camp). But, now it’s a little hard to remember why exactly, and just because he's always been there doesn't mean he always has to be there. Your on-again, off-again relationship seems like it’s really hard to quit. Like smoking. Or Real Housewives marathons.
And, recently, you two haven't been keeping it classy. We hate to say it, but if your relationship were a math problem, you’d be 2+3. That’s right. Basic.
Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson
One Direction
You are perfect — beautiful, young, and incredibly sweet, especially with each other. You can’t resist small touches as you pass one another, or little winking glances from across the room. And, it’s never a bad time for some playful roughhousing!
There’s just one problem: You’re not “technically” dating. Technically. At least not yet. Maybe by next year.
Jon Snow & Ygritte
Game of Thrones
Let's face it: You’re not a natural match. One of you is the kid from a rich family who wants to make a name for yourself, while the other is a little rough around the edges and is prone to picking fights ("You said what? You know nothing!"). Together, you’re that couple who’s always fired up about something: A party isn’t a party until one of you has stormed out in a passionate fury.
But, somehow it works: Your sexual chemistry is off the charts.
