12 of the best Halloween costumes for couples

The perfect maternity costume? You bet, especially because it's so comfortable. But you don't have to be expecting to wear this ultra-adorable (and warm!) costume.

For the ladybug:

• Cut a red poncho up the middle and curve the cut-out at the bottom to make the 2 sides of the poncho look like ladybug "wings"
• From a black cape or fabric, cut out an even amount of the same size circles to create black "spots."
• Hot glue the circles onto the poncho, being sure to have the same amount on each "wing".
• Paint 2 foam balls black and let dry completely.
• Fold a black pipe cleaner in half. Attach 1 of the foam balls to one black pipe cleaners by pushing the pipe cleaners into the foam ball until it feels secure.
• Repeat with the other painted foam ball.
• Fold down the other ends of the pipe cleaner about a half inch and attach to the black headband evenly spaced with hot glue to create antennae.

For the daddy longlegs:

• Attach 3 of the giant pipe cleaners on one side of the umbrella with a good amount of hot glue.
• Repeat by attaching the other 3 giant pipe cleaners to the other side of the umbrella, being sure to leave more room in the front to make a face.
• Cut out 2 circles about 7.5cm wide out of the white foam paper.
• Cut out 2 circles about 5cm wide out of the black foam paper.
• Hot glue the black circles to the white circles to create eyes.
• Attach the eyes evenly to the front of the umbrella using hot glue.
• Cut out two triangles about 12cm tall out of the black foam paper to create "fangs."
• Hot glue the two triangles to the front of the umbrella a little closer together than the eyes to create fangs to emphasize the spider look.

Posh and Becks are a classic couple and this is a classic outfit choice. Plus, if you already own a little black dress and a white collared shirt, you're halfway there to completing the look (just iron-on some red letters if you don't want to buy a Beckham jersey).

The latest season of the Netflix hit Bridgerton might have focussed on friends-turned-lovers Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, but you can channel any of the show's couples (Daphne and Simon, Anthony and Kate) with the right dress, waistcoat and accessories.

A fun costume for you and your "schmoopsie-poo" to pull off this upcoming Halloween — live snakes for hair not required!

With a movie version of the popular Wizard of Oz-inspired Broadway hit Wicked set to premiere later this year, there's no better time to dress up as our two favourite witches. Although trying to decide who gets to be Glinda the Good and who will be donning all that green, well, that's up for you to decide.

The sequel to the 80s original was a hit this year - so it feels like the right time to revisit Lydia's classic red dress.

The only downside to this look is that you likely won't be the only couple dressed as this duo. But if you can get past that, then this is the best couples costume of the year.

She's not only a Princess, but she's also a fearless leader who led the resistance against the Empire. If that doesn't inspire you to be Princess Leia on Halloween, then use it as an excuse to buy a new white dress and white boots. Don't forget your significant other's Storm Trooper costume to match.

These fake mechanical costumes can be made using cardboard boxes and colored paint. DIYing these outfits is also a fun couple's activity.

Jealousy doesn't have a place in your relationship, but this tongue-in-cheek costume certainly does. To make an envious pair, one of you should dress in head-to-toe green and the other should wear a t-shirt with the word "envy" written on the front.

Here's your Halloween agenda: Put on your matching fighter pilot outfits, channel your inner Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards, and get ready to take flight.

Guaranteed NOT to blend into the crowd at any Halloween party.
