As much as we love the idea of creating spot-on, elaborate costumes for Halloween, we don’t always have the time (or the dedication) to create exact replicas of our favorite characters—especially when you’ve got your S.O. to think about. Of course, just because you’re putting together a last-minute couples costume doesn’t mean it has to be boring or a cliché.

If we’re being honest, one of the best parts of dressing up for Halloween with your partner is the amount of Instagram opportunities you’ll have (because obviously). Whether you’re snapping an iconic pose from a movie or letting the costume speak for itself, we have no doubt that you’ll be racking up the likes come October 31.

Ahead, we’ve gathered some of the coolest pairs to channel this Halloween. The best part? They require minimal planning. Whether you’re going as an iconic duo like Barbie and Ken or as your favorite celebrity couple, these are costumes the two of you will actually want to wear.

Let's be honest: Who could ever forget this denim-on-denim-on-denim outfit from Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears? Nail the look with your own chic denim relics from the early aughts, like a rhinestone belt.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

As one of the most talked-about couples of the entertainment industry, the Kardashian-West team is a no-brainer to channel (and easy, too). Sport the couple's signature look with basic neutrals.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Between the royal wedding and Markle's fashion choices, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become the iconic couple of the year. With classic pieces like a pleated skirt and suit pieces, you'll channel the pair perfectly.

Name a more iconic couple than Barbie and Ken—we'll wait. Emulate this glam couple with a striped swimsuit, fur coat, and tuxedo.

We'll never get tired of Sandy and Danny from Grease. With nearly all-black outfits, these costumes will be the easiest ones of the year.

Bonnie and Clyde

Show the world who your partner in crime is as you dress up as Bonnie and Clyde. You'll be the most fashionable couple in the room.

Sloane Peterson and Ferris Bueller

You can't go wrong when you channel Sloane and Ferris from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Sport your favorite '80s staples like fringe jackets and sweatervests.

This will easily be one of the most entertaining date nights yet.
