16 'Game of Thrones' Couples Costumes That'll Transform You Into a Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms
You can DIY these ideas with items from your closet.
There’s no denying that Game of Thrones was one of the most popular shows of the past decade. There were awesome dragons, gory battles, and plenty of sex scenes with our favorite (and some not-so-favorite) couples. Which makes it a great source of Halloween costume inspiration — especially if you're on the hunt for the perfect couples costume.
Luckily, creating a DIY Game of Thrones costume for two doesn't require a trip to the Iron Bank. Here, we show you how to create a Halloween costume inspired by the HBO show's most iconic couples — no matter how scandalous their love might have been. Take your pick between Ygritte and Jon Snow, Jaime and Cersei Lannister, Dany and Khal Drogo, and so many more iconic GoT duos. And don't worry if you waited until the last minute — if there's no time to shop, many of these costumes are easy to DIY with items from your closet. So, leave dressing up like Mickey and Minnie Mouse to other couples, and pick one of these Game of Thrones couples costumes to rock at your next Halloween costume party.
Ned and Catelyn Stark
Ned and Catelyn may have been separated for most of the show, but these two had one of the most seemingly normal relationships in Westeros. And the good news is with all that fur, you'll stay warm all night.
Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell
Yes, Joffrey and Margaery were only married for a few hours before the infamous Purple Wedding scene. And yes, it was Margaery's family who orchestrated Joffrey's death. But these two have such iconic looks, it's an irresistible couples costume idea.
The Hound and Arya Stark
While not a romantic "couple," this Game of Thrones duo shared some of the greatest scenes of the series. The best part of all is that you can stop washing your hair for a couple days and just say it's part of the costume.
Robb and Talisa Stark
Robb and Talisa's relationship may have had some catastrophic consequences (ahem, the Red Wedding) but this pair made a great couple — for the short time they were alive, that is.
Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen
Yes, this relationship turned cringe-worthy when viewers found out that Jon and Daenerys were related, but they're still one of the show's strongest power couples, romance or no romance.
Jon Snow and Ygritte
Before Daenerys, there was Ygritte. These star-crossed lovers rocked fur coats for most of their time together, so this couples' costume is guaranteed to keep you warm on Halloween night.
Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo
Khal Drogo and Daenerys were the original power couple on Game of Thrones.
Cersei and Jaime Lannister
Okay, so Cersei and Jaime are twins, which makes their relationship deeply disturbing, but it's Halloween, so what better time to up the creep factor?
Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre
While this coupling was ultimately doomed (hello, demon shadow baby!), it still makes for a fun and easy Halloween costume.
Gilly and Samwell Tarly
You can easily recreate Sam and Gilly's outfits with matching faux fur coats. Just make sure to grab a fake baby and wrap it in a black blanket to separate you from the rest of the Game of Thrones couples.
Grey Worm and Missandei
There are two ways you can go with this costume. You can either channel the early days where Grey Worm's armor was lighter and Missandei wore a dress, or you can both wear matching ensembles.
Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark
Rhaegar and Lyanna were the original Targaryen-Stark couple. You can easily recreate their look with a brown coat for Rheagar and a flowy, blue dress for Lyanna.
Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth
To recreate Jaime and Brienne's look, you and your partner could basically wear the same outfit.
Arya Stark and Gendry Baratheon
If you'd rather be a fighter than a damsel in distress, Arya and Gendry could be a good choice.
Theon Greyjoy and Sansa Stark
Although Theon and Sansa weren't really a couple, many viewers rooted for them because they found comfort in each other after being tortured by the same man. For this costume, you could either channel a younger Sansa, or go for her all-black look as Queen.
Ellaria Sand and Oberryn Martell
If brighter colors and eyeliner are your thing, an Ellaria and Oberryn couples costume will suit you and your partner perfectly.
