With Halloween only two weeks away, it's not too late for you and your boyfriend or girlfriend or best friend to come up with the perfect couple Halloween costumes. What could that be? Well, there's no better couple than Bey and Jay, which is why you should pick up a fun Beyonce and Jay Z couple Halloween costume on October 31st. Your friends will tell you if they show up dressed as ketchup and mustard bottles or salt and pepper shakers. Totally envious of your creative couple outfits.
The good news is, emulating Queen Bey and her royal husband isn't that difficult. With just a few steps and a few dollars, you can transform yourself into everyone's favorite music icon. But Beyoncé and Jay Z's classic outfits are so boring. Instead, try something creative. No, I'm not talking about making fun of elevator doors. Not only was this more than expected, I still think it was insensitive, especially in light of the Ray Rice elevator incident.
Let’s forget about elevators and opt for these quirky, fun alternatives. They make people think, which makes you look smart. If you can be like Beyoncé and save money and be smart, never say no.
Standard Beyoncé and Jay Z
Most of the costume ideas below require adding props to an already created costume. So to look like Queen Bey, give yourself a powerful twist in a bodycon red lace dress, $22.
For Jay Z, you'll need a baseball cap, white shirt, jeans, and some jewelry. Oh, and don’t forget the sunglasses.
Making money
Wear Beyonce and Jay Z outfits and go crazy and stick fake money on your outfits. It is no secret that this power couple is very wealthy and you will become a symbol of their status.
Louvre Photos
Bey and Jay's performance in Paris is to die for. That photo of them posing in front of the Mona Lisa is epic. But don't just copy this look, copy one of this look's memes.
You'll look more aware of pop culture. Wear a dark robe over a dark dress and flash a mysterious half-smile to dress up like a famous work of art. Then print a photo of Bey in a frame and take it with you. Let everyone praise her as a masterpiece.
saturday night live couple
Get all the meta by having you and your partner dress up like Maya Rudolph and Jay Pharoah like Bey and Jay . Beysep. For Maya's look, you can find a gold dress like this for $33
Then call yourself Beybey-bey all night like in the sketch. Jay Pharoah styled his look with a white button-down top, black hat and gold chain. Jay Pharoah's terrible sense of humor probably shouldn't have been included. Besides, Jay doesn't need to talk when Maya is in the room.
members of the band beyguernsey
Remember Andrew Garfield's SNL skit about an FBI-style agency taking down Beyonce's haters? If Bey and Jay were members of the Beygency, then dressing up like Bey and Jay would be meta. (Let’s be honest, they probably would be if it were real.) Style your hair as usual and throw on some bling to look like the couple, then wear this $25 Beygency Shirts as your outfit.
MET Gala Couple
I'm talking about the elevator door, when Jay Z got down on one knee on the red carpet and put on his ring. To replicate this look, wear a figure-hugging black dress like this. It's $50, but completely reusable for future parties.
Then have your partner put on a white tuxedo or blazer and "bow down" to you (as the song goes) all night long.
member of illuminati
Everyone knows that Beyoncé and Jay Z are both members of the Illuminati, so this outfit is perfect for that. Pay homage to this secretive group by wearing clothing covered with a triangle (their symbol). This $16 skirt is a great choice.
Then buy some jewelry with the all-seeing eye from Amazon and hope that maybe some evil organization doesn't come out to punish you for mocking them on Halloween.
Queen Bee and JZ
Puns are fun. Play as a bee wearing a crown, symbolizing Queen Bey. You can find a bee costume here for $25.
Then, instead of wearing an antenna, wear a crown like this one on Amazon for $5.
Then, ask your significant other to choose the letters J and Z. Wooden letters are easy to find at stores like Walmart for less than $5. Just stick them on your Jay Z apparel.
The options for fun Bey and Jay costumes are endless, so get creative and come Halloween night you're sure to be as popular as this couple.
