This year, we've had some pretty big pop culture moments. From Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's whirlwind romance, to everyone on the internet obsessing over Peter Kavinsky in To All The Boys I've Loved Before, to absolutely everyone falling in love with the Fab Five, it's been quite a year. And what's the point of Halloween costumes if not to highlight the mega-moments we've witnessed? For Halloween 2018 costumes for couples, there are plenty of costumes to choose from.
The following costume ideas are all drawn from big personalities, characters, or moments from the past few months. When choosing a costume with your partner, an undeniably 2018 costume will be the both trendy and recognizable. And at the end of the day, isn't that all you want?
