If your Halloween goal is to win the costume contest this year, take note, because no one does Halloween like Hollywood. Sure, loads of money and glam teams make it possible, but these A-listers also know that pulling inspiration from iconic duos from history and pop culture is key. From Sonny and Cher to Beetlejuice and Lydia, we rounded up the best celebrity couple Halloween costumes through the years. Whether you're looking for Halloween costume ideas for you and your boo or are just browsing, please enjoy these epic celebrity duo costumes.
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz as Fiona and Shrek
Heidi Klum is known for her remarkable costumes, but even this one took things to the next level. The model and her husband Tom Kaulitz were unrecognizable in 2018 as the Shrek characters.
Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion as Austin Powers and Fembot
Patrick Schwarzenegger gives the camera his best Austin Powers impersonation (honestly, not bad), and Abby Champion stuns as the film's female lead at a party in 2018.

Exhibit A of why JT and Jessica Biel are the best. Biel dressed up as her husband circa 2000 (curly hair and all) and he was her microphone.
