We’ve all seen our fair share of overrated and overused couples Halloween costumes worn straight out of the Party City bag.
A plug and a socket here, a ketchup and mustard there. BOR-ING! Let’s turn your Halloween style up a notch this year, shall we?
The only way to do Halloween right is to throw a little pop culture in the mix. From reality TV stars and real-life TV celebs to talented musicians and scene-stealing superstars, here are some original ideas for costumes that are sure to make you and yours the most talked about duo this Halloween in San Diego.
Discover ten Halloween costumes for couples in San Diego.
Sookie and Bill from True Blood
Edward and Bella are so 2008, it’s time for a “livelier” vamp version for 2009. To be Sookie you’ll need a blonde wig, black shorts, a green apron and a white top that says “Merlotte’s” – or, grab a green pen and make your own. Oh, and don’t forget that Louisiana accent. For Bill, grab some reliable fangs and dress in classic attire. After all, you are a 200 year-old vampire.
Ari & Lloyd from Entourage
You wanna hug it out, bitch? Well if you’re in the “Bromance” mood this Halloween, I suggest heading over to Fashion Valley and hit up Hermes. For Lloyd, make sure you are dressed to the nines and scurry around in a fluster a lot. For Ari, a Maserati would be a plus. If you can’t score one of those, then a polished suit and a depreciating attitude will work just fine. (pictured main)
Beyonce and Jay Z
So has it been officially announced if he has put a ring on it yet? In order to be this Hollywood power couple you need some swag. For Jay Z, throw on some stunna shades, a black leather jacket and a Yankees hat. For Beyonce, show off some leg and go all “Single Ladies” with a black leotard, big hair and stilettos.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom
Out with Kim and Reggie and in with the other sister – the one that’s not prego that is. With quick nuptials this weekend there is only one way you can go with this costume, and that is wedding attire. For Khloe, throw on a simple short dress. It can be white, but color doesn’t really come into play, seeing as this is a shotgun wedding. For Lamar, two words: Lakers jersey.
Daisy and London from Daisy of Love
It’s tight jeans and mass amounts of liquid eyeliner all around for this reality star couple. For Daisy, I suggest you grab the most cleavage-revealing hot pink top you can find, and either head to the tat shop and get inked up, or grab a Sharpie and start scribbling. For London, throw on a pair of skinny jeans, buy some Gorilla Glue and spike your hair eight inches above your head. Oh, and whine and beg a lot.
Lady Gaga and Kermit the Frog
While they may no longer be an item, they will still be forever etched in my mind as yet another Hollywood couple that lasted the mere length of the VMAs. For Kermit, dress from head to toe in green – or simply paint your body – and make exaggerated movements with your mouth when speaking. For Lady Gaga, wear a leotard, a hat with peacock feathers and every piece of clothing in your closet that does not match.
Rhianna and Chris Brown
It’s a thief in the night to come and grab you…hmm, ironic? Too soon? I think not. Considering that Mr. Brown is having to serve his sentence by doing community service, I suggest finding Caltrans apparel, a large garbage bag and one of those trash-grabbing claw devices and you’ll be set. For Rhianna, throw on a sexy black dress, grab some black and purple hued eye makeup and start painting on the bruises.
Bret Michaels & a contestant from Rock of Love
Technically there have been three seasons, and seeing as how all the competitors bear similar resemblance – fake boobs, tattoos and “unknown vocal talents” – then girls, you take your pick and decide which of the lovely ladies you would like to scandalously dress up as for the evening. For Bret you need three things: eyeliner, a long blonde wig and a headband.
Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett
No more Hef and the Girls, but there is Kendra and baby Baskett. If you want to be creative for Hank, get a Colts and Eagles jersey and turn them into one. For Kendra, bring your best obnoxious laugh and a pseudo-baby bump underneath a Playboy Bunny top and you three will be a hit.
Kanye West & Taylor Swift
Granted these two are as far from a couple as you can get, but I couldn’t help myself. Too soon? If you’re Taylor, you have one of two options: a) wear a shimmery nude-colored floor length dress accompanied by a moon man statue or b) wear a short, “I’m-nineteen-and-innocent” looking red dress. If you’re Kanye, I suggest wearing an oversized pair of sunglasses – considering it’s usually bright out at night – and carry a microphone. When someone speaks to you, say “I’m going to let you finish, but I just wanted to say, damn aren’t I heartless?!”
