Best costumes for gay couples

Perfect combination for a high femme/long haired butch or high femme/lazy femme duo.

Andi and Dean (Motocrossed)

Inspired by our recent revisitation of this extremely subtextually trans and queer DCOM classic! I’d love to see an undead Jenny Schecter tbh. Even though it’s not the exact Lavender Menace shirt Jasmin Savoy Brown wears in the most recent Scream movie, I think the Autostraddle version of the shirt would suffice.

With fast shipping and great deals available through these RaveFix coupons, you can find the ideal costume to bring your vision to life without breaking the bank.

Halloween offers a unique opportunity for gay couples to showcase their relationships in a fun, public way. Enter Pleakley from Lilo & Stitch—the alien who understood fashion better than anyone else in the Galactic Federation.

Perhaps Cameron as a professional clown and Mitchell as a high-powered attorney, but with a Halloween twist – a zombie clown and a vampire lawyer, perhaps?

For fans of “Heartstopper,” rather than just portraying Charlie and Nick, why not base your costumes on their favorite hobbies or interests? Here are some tips to make your costumes stand out:

1. Pay attention to details: Small accessories can make a big difference in selling your costume concept.
2. Practice your makeup: If your costume requires special makeup effects, practice ahead of time to perfect your look.
3. Consider comfort: Remember, you’ll likely be wearing these costumes for several hours.

   Ghostface costumes, meanwhile, are easy to come by.

   Billy and Stu (Scream)

   While we’re talking Scream, I think we can all agree there’s something undeniable homoerotic about the first iterations of Ghostface: Billy and Stu. I can easily imagine a lesbian couple pulling off these looks. But making your masc gf be a podcast mic would be so much funnier.

   But to truly stand out, consider giving these well-known pairs a unique twist.

   Imagine a steampunk-inspired Sherlock and Watson, complete with brass goggles and clockwork gadgets. U-Haul Lesbians!

   Femmeslashers

   This is the slightly more punny take on the Michael Myers/Freddy Kreuger costume idea.

   It’d be so cute! The Alice would get to wear glow stick necklaces and a crocheted crop top. Sure, one of you could be Pinhead and one of you could be a human character, but I say go even harder on the depravity and disgusting details and channel everyone’s favorite sadomasochists from hell. Perfect. Throw together some football kits and grab a ball.

   

   Frida Kahlo

   Another great inspiration for a gay Halloween costume is one of the most famous artists in modern history, Frida Kahlo. Though Frida Kahlo was in a traditional marriage, she had relationships with both men and women. How about dressing as zombie chefs or cursed bakers?

   Another unique DIY idea is to create costumes entirely from recycled materials.

   Prefer a bold blouse with over-the-top accessories? Take our quiz: Plan a Halloween Party and I’ll Tell You Which Ghost of a Queer TV Character Is Haunting You.

U-Haul Lesbians

This would be a good last-minute option, because you basically just need to grab some moving boxes (preferably U-Haul brand if you’re going for accuracy) and attach some suspender straps to them so you can wear them around you.

Whoever is Bee definitely needs a crossbody phone strap. A coordinated entrance can make your costumes even more impactful.

Celebrating Diversity and Creativity

The beauty of gay couple Halloween costumes lies in their ability to celebrate both the couple’s relationship and their individual creativity.

We think it might be made for children, but it fits both of our heads.
