There’s something wickedly fun about watching our favourite celebrities team up for coordinated spooky season outfits. While going solo can be fun, it’s twice the thrill to be double trouble together. Perhaps duo costumes really do outshine the solo scene. Let’s dive into some standout pairs. These eerily on-point duos will leave you spellbound—and maybe just a little haunted!
The Ann Beauty Pageant Universe
The Queens, Anntonia Porsild and Anchilee Scott-Kemmis, stepped into Halloween this year with their 'What’s scarier than walking red flags?' costumes. The two Miss Universe beauties—both with names beginning in Ann—turned the pre-2024 ghostly celebration into a cheeky commentary on modern dating. Strutting in red-hot bodysuits in their social media, they featured breakup classics like 'It’s not you, it’s me' and embodied the modern dating archetype of 'love-bombing'—when they love you like breathing one day, then forget you exist the next. These queens proved that sometimes the scariest things aren’t ghosts—maybe they’re your ex’s text messages. Their genius take on relationship horrors had the online world giggling, if a bit nervously.
Bright Vachirawit and Win Metawin
Thailand's entertainment scene was enchanted by a taste of vampire magic when fan favourites Bright and Win made their appearance for Halloween 2020. These beloved stars swapped their usual charm for something a bit more bite-worthy. Dressed in sharp suits, they embodied a contemporary interpretation of these Western-rooted mythological creatures, presenting vampires as savvy, wealthy "old money" figures among the living. Their looks would make any vampire proud—if they really existed. Sometimes, the classics are simply the best choice. There’s a reason vampire stories and their many spin-offs never die—like, literally!
The Jenner Sisters: Kylie and Kendall
Before diving into the details of this duo, let’s acknowledge that the Jenner sisters were truly born for the spotlight. Last year’s Batman Forever homage, themed Sugar and Spice, was so high-glam that it blurred the line between costume and cover shoot. Red-hot Kylie, as Spice, went dark in a black leather bodysuit adorned with silver skulls and fishnet tights, completing her look with black leather gloves, a silver spike-studded choker, a faux dagger at her hi, and a bouffant wig streaked with red. Meanwhile, the beauty mogul Kendall channelled Sugar in white lace lingerie, stockings and a feather-trimmed, semi-sheer gown topped with a blonde Marilyn Monroe-style wig.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
When it comes to couples known for their wildness, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are unmatched. Their 2023 Halloween tribute to Quentin Tarantino's cult classic Kill Bill was a masterclass in method dressing. Fox embodied the lethal Gogo Yubari in a deadly schoolgirl uniform, complete with the character's iconic meteor hammer. Standing beside her, MGK rocked Uma Thurman's yellow jumpsuit as The Bride, showcasing his fearlessness in embracing gender-swapped costumes. Together, they transformed their Halloween appearance into a show-stopping moment that fans couldn't resist sharing.
Blackpink’s Jisoo and Lisa
In 2021, we were treated to a masterclass in Halloween excellence from this talented duo. Jisoo playfully channelled Lisa in her iconic solo debut costume, complete with the unforgettable Lalisa beanie and flowing black hair styled under cosy grey sweats—an ensemble we suspect is the very same outfit Lisa herself wore in the music video for Lalisa—Jisoo truly never misses! Meanwhile, our favourite Thai girl, Lisa, embraced her playful side by transforming into the killer Young-hee laser-eyed doll from the Korean series Squid Game. Masters of humour and music charts alike, their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to character is the key here—something we should all take notes on.
Justin and Hailey Bieber
The Biebers put a modern A-list spin on prehistoric icons last Halloween! Taking cues from everyone's favourite Stone Age couple, Fred and Wilma Flintstone, Hailey sported a fiery orange-red wig paired with a glossy leather outfit reminiscent of Wilma's look in the cartoon. Justin embraced caveman minimalism, which is unironically accurate, going topless with just a primitive-style cap to complete his Stone Age chic. Their interpretation balanced playful nostalgia with contemporary star power, proving that sometimes the best Halloween moments come from keeping things delightfully uncomplicated.
As the jack-o'-lanterns dim and the candy wrappers are about to pile up, Koktail encourages you to go all out this Halloween 2024. Let us see you shine through your individual moments of creativity! From inspirational fits from our selected duos to cultural moments that will haunt our social media feeds until next spooky season, we can’t wait to celebrate the magic again next October. Keep it spooky, and we’ll see you next time.
