Pulling off an easy, clever Halloween costume with your best friend is always fun. But if your best friend is more like a fashion partner in crime? Well, you two shouldn't be limited to the classic two-peas-in-a-pod getup. No, this Halloween, you're making a statement by re-creating the looks of the industry's most stylish duos.
Of course, we're showing you ways to achieve the more obvious icons — like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — but we bet you've never considered grabbing your boyfriend and being Olivia Palermo and her hubby, Johannes Huebl. There are plenty of fashionable costumes that will turn heads, gaining you entry to all the Halloween parties — and probably some red carpets too.
While Kendall loves a good tailored pant, Kylie's all about the asymmetrical skirts with standout details. Kendall will make a red carpet statement with a plunging neckline or a slitted skirt, while Kylie's into the all-over appeal — think strappy heels, sheer panels, and jewelry, too. To distinguish between the two sisters, make sure Kylie's got a blue bob. She may have retired it, sure, but this costume's all about the most memorable style moments.
In order to be Olivia Palermo, you've got to have print mixing down to a science — and the look just isn't complete until you've cinched your waist with a belt and added superstrappy heels. Johannes, on the other hand, loves navy suits (when he's not wearing khakis) and appreciates a few style quirks — he is married to Olivia, after all — such as an eye-catching handkerchief or a two-toned button-down.
If you're going to be David and Victoria Beckham, you've got to do it right. That means sporting the looks the pair is most memorable for. Of course, you're not VB without an LBD, and channel David with some sporty separates. And, OK, if you want to be really obvious about it, throw his Manchester United jersey atop a pair of jeans.
Grace and Anna both have signature looks that haven't changed much over the years. Recently, Grace has been sporting her slip-on sneakers and all-black workwear staples to the runway shows. Anna steers clear of black, looking to printed or textured tailored dresses as her foundation for a warm coat.
To be Kim, it should come as no surprise that you need to highlight your curves. You can do that in an all-white body-con minidress or a crop top and skirt set, complete with a plunging neckline — it's up to you. No matter what, your Kanye look has got to scream "royalty" without being superobvious about it.
Being the most fashionable kitty in the world makes for one easy, comfortable costume. But what is Choupette without Karl? Make sure he (or she) gets a white wig or some spray paint, and don't forget the accessories! Karl never goes without his leather gloves and an added touch of embellishment in the form of a brooch or a chain.
While the Olsen sisters tend toward oversize silhouettes, it's their throw-on-and-go — and sometimes grungy — street style looks that they're known for. A bohemian robe and sliders will make you an easy Mary-Kate, and polished pieces paired with a sleek ponytail will pin you as Ashley.
Ahh, Taylor and Karlie. While they've sported some of the same looks in the past, Taylor's much more prim and proper — and rarely goes without her cognac oxford heels. Channel a major off-duty vibe to get Karlie's look, and tie it all together with a skinny belt and a collared dress.
Who better to be for Halloween than Hova himself and Queen Bey? Try layering two bodysuits to get Beyoncé's concert look, complete with fishnet stockings and heeled combat boots. Give a luxe suit casual vibes with a t-shirt and some chunky gold necklaces to pull off Jay Z — and don't forget the beanie.
