Wade Watts is the main character from the 2018 film Ready Player One. In the movie, Wade is on a hunt to find the “Easter Egg” in the virtual reality game OASIS. Samantha Cook is also a massive fan of the game and is known for her skills in egg hunting. The two embark on the journey of finding the Easter Egg hidden in the game, and Wade makes it very clear that he has feelings for Samantha. But she has her eye on the prize and won’t admit her same feelings until the hunt is over.
Dress as the two gamers as they face off in the hunt of their lives. Get Wade’s style with a plaid shirt, baseball shirt, blue jeans, Converse sneakers, fingertip lightning gloves, a black belt, and a virtual reality system.

Throughout Disney’s TV show Recess, Spinelli seemed to be more than just friends with T.J. Detweiler, and it looked as though T.J. had similar feelings. T.J. is the ringleader of his group of friends and is mostly responsible for all the schemes and tricks they get themselves in to. Even though he’s a prankster, T.J. is also very kind-hearted and genuinely cares about the other kids in school. While T.J.’s academic achievements are subpar, he’s a genius when it comes to inventing a new prank or scheme.
Dress up as the perfect playground pair this Halloween. Get T.J.’s look with a green MA-1 flight jacket, a red baseball hat, a men’s short sleeve tee, straight-leg rugged jeans, and Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star red shoes. Spinelli keeps her look super laid back but girly with a seamed stretch sheath dress, military Anorak jacket, stripe tights, harness boots, orange hair ties, and a cable knit slouchy beanie.
Raven and Beast Boy are two of the team members of DC Comics Teen Titans. Raven has the ability to levitate, teleport, and perform astral projection among many other powers.

Get the two Teen Titans costumes ready to recreate for a couples costume with all of the necessary pieces! Grab Raven’s costume with a crystal bindi pack, an antiqued red and gold pendant and corresponding flat tag, the five stones chain necklace, and light grey face paint.

Hope and Scott took on the roles of the newest superheroes together and learned how to save the world side-by-side.
Dress as the dynamic duo from the world of Marvel with their superhero suits.

The two had a rocky relationship in the beginning, but ultimately decided they were great friends and possibly would make a strong couple.
Coordinate the couple’s look by getting Riverdale’s signature style from this costume guide! Start out with Archie by throwing on a grey henley underneath a Riverdale letterman jacket, a pair of blue jeans and some red sneakers. Don’t forget to transform your hair into Archie’s signature red hairdo with temporary hair dye or a wig. Veronica is full of New York style, and you will need a black tank top, plaid skirt, black heels, and a black wig to mimic her look. Accessories are a girl’s best friend, so be sure to add a pearl necklace, gold bracelet, and a classy satchel handbag because Veronica wouldn’t be seen without them!
Princess Bean and Elfo live in Dreamland in the animated adult series, Disenchantment. Princess Bean isn’t about the princess life, and Elfo is ready to explore the world to find out what it’s like to experience other feelings than positivity and complete happiness. Princess Bean can usually be found drinking to escape her life, and Elfo has already beaten her to the punch and abandons the life laid out for him because he is tired of making elven candy every single day. The two embark on adventures together that go against their families and how they are “supposed” to live their lives.

To recreate the Princess’s look, get dressed for adventure with a sleeveless tunic tank top, brown tights, tooth caps, a white t-shirt, brown casual boots, a leather belt, and white long wavy hair. Complete the best friend pair by having your friend dress as Elfo with a Viking tunic, blue shorts, elf ears, a toy knife, green body paint, a dwarf hat, elf shoes, fluffy balls.
