30 Couples Costumes for You and Your Redheaded Girlfriend

I am, proudly, a recent redhead by choice. I was openly not born this way. Though I love my new ginger tresses, they are making Halloween more complicated than I may have anticipated. And I. Love. Halloween. Before I went red, the costume world was my oyster. Do you guys realize how many superheroes and Disney princesses are brunettes?! Sure I missed out on a few blonde costumes, but I could always get a wig. Now that I’m a ginger I feel compelled to dig deep and find a representative costume.

But there’s another confounding factor. A chick on the side. In the past I teased my friend mercilessly for the couples costumes. But now that I’m coupled myself, I find myself intrigued by the costumes that come in twos.

So here I have for you, in no particular order, a list of fun couples costumes where one person is a redhead! For the sake of sanity and practicality I have limited the costume ideas to those which can actually be identified as a costume. Otherwise it would have just been a list of redheaded lesbians. I have also done my best to include ideas for lots of different gender presenting couples but a lot of the redheads on TV are heteronormative women. I blame the patriarchy.
