From Batman to Broadway: The First Big Celebrity Couples Costumes of 2026

Spooky season 2026 has officially arrived, and Hollywood’s heavy hitters are not waiting for October 31 to reveal their high-concept transformations. From viral TikTok stars to Broadway superfans, the first wave of celebrity couples costumes is blending internet subcultures with cinematic tropes and theatrical tributes.

Leading the early charge are model Sommer Ray and Mark Estes, who opted for a high-gloss take on the classic superhero dynamic. The pair appeared as Batman and Catwoman, leaning into the darker, cinematic aesthetic of the DC icons. Estes, a member of the viral “Montana Boys” TikTok collective, has seen his profile rise significantly this year, making the duo one of the more talked-about sightings of the early October circuit.

Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams looked toward the stage for their 2026 inspiration. The couple paid a specific homage to Nicole Scherzinger’s acclaimed performance in the Sunset Boulevard revival. The choice reflects the cultural footprint of the production, which garnered significant attention throughout its 2024–2026 run, particularly for Scherzinger’s portrayal of the tragic Norma Desmond.

Early 2026 costume trends highlight high-concept cinematic and theatrical influences.

Finneas O’Connell and his longtime partner, Claudia Sulewski, debuted a Harry Potter-themed look that combined wizarding world aesthetics with a pun. Describing their outfits as “birds of a feather,” the producer—well known for his work with sister Billie Eilish—and Sulewski coordinated with intricate detailing. The theme has been reported as a standout among the creative circles in Los Angeles this season.

Daytime television staples Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are also back in the Halloween spotlight. The hosting duo has established a reputation for elaborate, multi-costume reveals on their morning show, often rotating through several high-production looks that range from pop culture parodies to historical figures. Early reports indicate they are maintaining their status as a couple that consistently prioritizes high-effort holiday production.

While many stars are hitting the party circuit, some are celebrating the season with major life updates. Olivia Culpo and San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey have kept a lower profile following the birth of their second son on September 29, 2026. Their focus on the new arrival explains their absence from the initial wave of costume parties. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion ensured her personal traditions remained intact, reviving her signature “pumpkin-head” look on October 2 to signal the start of her annual “Hottieween” celebrations.
