Halloween is upon us, and we at Nonchalant have vowed to the spooky autumnal spirits to help you find the perfect costume with our pick of the top lesbian couple Halloween costumes (and all sapphics of course). Well, at least for those of you who are coupled up (sorry for my singles out there).
Top 36 Lesbian Couple Halloween
1. Kim Possible and Shego
Our first recommendation is the legendary Kim Possible, and her captivating evil counterpart Shego. Those enemies will turn into lovers on Halloween night, without any doubt.
2. Marceline and Bubblegum
Fear not, for this one, you won’t have to cover your entire body in paint and ruin every piece of furniture that you own. You can embody this canon couple with just a couple of wigs, a fake crown and the right energy.
3. Cruella De Vil and a Dalmatian
Put your dog’s old collar to good use and impress fashionistas, animal lovers, and Disney adults all in one evening.
4. Morticia and Gomez Addams
Picture this, a tall femme in a dangerously long wig, a handsome masc with slick back hair, and a seductive moustache? If that’s not the spirit of Halloween, I don’t know what is. We think this one will be a particular hit with the Netflix series Wednesday.
5. Daphne and Velma
Finally, Velma is canonically a lesbian. We’ve been saying that something fishy has been going on between those two for years.
6. Beetlejuice and Lydia
This one might haunt your guest with how cool it is. It might be a little difficult to pull last minute, but there’s nothing that two determined lesbians can’t accomplish.
7. Romeo + Juliet
Falling desperately and tragically in love in the course of one evening? That’s a lesbian couple if I’ve ever seen one. Plus, Leo embodies the masc lesbian, silky smooth hair aesthetic in that film.

8. Fleabag and the Priest
In Phoebe Waller-Bridge we trust.
This one’s our little gift to bisexuals with a GIGANTIC crush on both Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

9. Thelma and Louise
If your other half is also your bestie and might have criminal tendencies, we’ve got the perfect costume for you.
10. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn
A reminder for everyone that everything turns out all right when you drop your toxic boyfriend and start a tumultuous relationship with a sexy redhead.
11. But I’m a cheerleader
Pink monochromatic outfits, lesbian cheerleaders, and Natasha Lyonne, what more could we ask for?
12. The sun and the moon
If you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can add elements of your moon and sun signs. Counterpoint, you have to know your birth chart by heart if you get ambushed by the astrological girlies.
13. Coraline and Wybie
I swear you won’t have to sew buttons to your eyes for this one. Good eyelash glue should do the trick.
14. Eve and Villanelle from Killing Eve
Heads will turn when you show up as our favourite MI6 employee and her assassin girlfriend. Perhaps this could also turn into a little role play in the bedroom too.
15. Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny
Bunny ears, comfy basketball shorts and sneakers? Sounds like a perfect deal to me.
16. A couple of sexy cowgirls
Don’t we all have a lasso, cowboy boots, and a hat lying around? No? It might just be me then.
17. Edward and Bella
It’s our favourite 109-year-old Bloodsucker and his teenage girlfriend. Perhaps, your ex can dress up as Jacob, and complete the triangle?
18. Jack Skellington and Sally
Let’s hope this Halloween doesn’t turn into a nightmare (before Christmas)
Like this article if you think we need to cool it with the dad jokes! *wink* *wink*
19. Wednesday and Enid from the iconic series Wednesday
The Wednesday Netflix series brought everyone’s favourite goth girl from the Addams Family back into the spotlight with a fresh, moody twist! Released in 2022 and directed by the legendary Tim Burton, it’s got all those dark, quirky vibes you’d expect. Jenna Ortega absolutely kills as Wednesday Addams, bringing her deadpan humour and icy stare to life in a new story that steps away from the usual family dynamic and puts Wednesday at the centre. Meanwhile, Enid Sinclair is Wednesday Addams’ colourful, bubbly roommate at Nevermore Academy, and she’s basically the complete opposite of Wednesday in every way. A great couple if you ask us.

20. Black cat and golden retriever
If you need an easy last-minute costume, this one’s perfect, fun, and playful! And yes, it might have been an excuse to post a cute pic of a cat and a dog…
21. Dani and Jamie from The Haunting of Bly Manor
These two are our Roman Empire, not one day goes when we do not think of their heartache. If you want to see a few devastated lesbians, this is the costume for you.

22. Chucky and Tiffany
This one is a Halloween must, scary, fun, and just a tiny bit creepy. You’ll love it.
23. Ghostface and Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) from Scream
Are you looking to slay Halloween this year? We’ve got you covered. Scream is such an iconic blend of horror and satire that it basically reinvented the slasher genre when it dropped in 1996, and if you haven’t watched it yet – then get on that because it’s epic.
24. Trixie and Katya
If you show up in this costume for our Halloween party, you’ll be welcomed with a “Shantay you stay!”. Trixie and Katya is a comedy duo consisting of drag queens Trixie (Brian Firkus) and Katya (Brian McCook).
25. Magenta and Columbia from the Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an iconic piece of queer media. And these two are emblematic and unforgettable, just like you 😉
26. Magic Mike Duo
Who doesn’t want to pretend to be a male stripper for one night? Sounds fun to us. Get your cash guns ready.
27. Orange Is The New Black
Now you can’t tell us this isn’t an epic choice? There are so many characters to choose from in the series, you can go as any of them, but perhaps the main love story is a fair shout – Piper Chapman with Alex Vause.
28. Pj and Josie from queer film Bottoms
In Bottoms, PJ and Josie are the dynamic duo at the heart of this hilarious and chaotic teen comedy. A Pretty fun and comfy choice as a Halloween costume.
29. Mario and Luigi
We present to you Mario and Luigi from Super Mario – For all the gamers out there, this is legendary.
30. Elphaba and Glinda
Two witches, one ballroom and enough unresolved tension to power the whole of Oz. Between Wicked and Wicked: For Good, the internet has decided these two were never just friends, and frankly, we agree. One of you goes green with a pointed black hat, a long black dress and a broomstick. The other goes full pink, with a tulle gown, a sparkly crown and a wand. Bonus points if you can get through the night without bursting into Popular.
31. Jennifer and Needy
The sapphic horror film that was criminally misunderstood in 2009 and has since been rightly crowned a cult classic. Jennifer gets low-rise jeans, a cropped pink top, silver hoops and a little fake blood around the mouth. Needy gets the geeky-girl uniform of a grey zip-up, a messy blonde bob and round glasses. Don’t forget the matching BFF necklaces. It’s a Halloween essential for any couple who likes their romance with a side of demonic possession.
32. Two Brides
With The Bride! out this year, every straight couple will turn up as the monster and his Bride. We say skip the monster entirely. Two towering beehives with white lightning streaks, two white gowns and some stitched-on scars, and you’ve got a much better love story.
33. Miranda and Andy from The Devil Wears Prada
The sequel is out, and the tension is still very much there. Miranda needs a sharp silver bob, oversized sunglasses and a coat to drop on the nearest surface. Andy needs a lumpy blue jumper (cerulean, obviously) and a look of mild panic. End every conversation with “that’s all”, and expect to be quoted at all night.
34. Ellie and Dina from The Last of Us
For couples who like their romance with a side of apocalypse. Ellie gets a flannel shirt, a backpack, a guitar and a fern tattoo drawn on her forearm. Dina gets dark curls, layers and a knowing smirk. It’s comfy and cheap, and it’s the perfect excuse to slow dance in a barn at 2am.
35. Robin and Vickie from Stranger Things
It took five seasons, but Robin finally got the girl. Robin gets the Scoops Ahoy sailor uniform, hat and all. Vickie gets red curls and her best band-nerd energy. Talk a mile a minute all night and you’re basically method acting.
36. Classic Ghost Sheet plus your third wheel friend as rainbow ghost
We’ve saved the best till last obviously. We all have that third-wheel friend who’s up for the lols, and don’t pretend you don’t have a spare rainbow flag lying around for them to wear.
Hopefully, we’ve inspired you for this Halloween season. Let us know in the comments which are your top Halloween costumes for this year!

She’s obsessed with all things pop culture (films, books, TV, music…) and could talk for hours about everything from the progressive politics of Shrek to the link between girlhood and monstrosity in media.

Through her work with Nonchalant, her goal is to uplift creative, powerful, and diverse queer voices, because our stories deserve the spotlight.
