Flex With Your Bae: Iconic LGBTQIA+ Couples Costume Ideas That Everyone Will Love

Halloween is the ultimate time to dress up, get creative, and celebrate queer love. And in honor of Halloween, we honor a classic movie’s theme! Who remembers “Never Been Kissed?” Yes, the popular romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore from the late ’90s. That movie gave us plenty of unforgettable moments, but its revised prom theme — “Made for each other: Lovers throughout history” — set the perfect stage for some seriously iconic couple costumes. Although the new theme wasn’t explicitly stated, we couldn’t help but enjoy watching the characters dress up as famous pairs like Romeo and Juliet. And what better way to pay homage to that theme than iconic LGBTQIA+ couple costume ideas?

Here are the five iconic LGBTQIA+ couples costume ideas celebrating “lovers throughout history.”

1. Xena and Gabrielle

Xena and Gabrielle may not have been an official couple in “Xena: Princess Warrior.” Still, their connection is undeniable, and they’ve long been celebrated as an iconic queer duo in pop culture. LGBTQIA+ couples who want to channel fierce warrior energy will love this costume idea. Grab some armor, leather, and a staff for Gabrielle — together, you’ll be ready to take on the world (or at least the party).

2. Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac
