This year the world was introduced to two new power couples who will undoubtedly inspire plenty of Halloween costumes. Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston delighted some fans and disappointed others by getting caught kissing on the beach, but Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s paparazzi beach pictures were even more sensational thanks to Orlando’s decision to ditch his swim trunks.

According to OK! Magazine, there’s still plenty of “bad blood” between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, so don’t expect to see them dressing up like each other this Halloween. Taylor allegedly believes that Katy and Orlando’s beach behavior is “the type of thing you’d only expect from a trailer park couple.” But will Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom top Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston in the battle over who inspires the best and beachiest Halloween costume ideas for couples? You can decide after checking out the creative costume concepts below.

Taylor and Tom’s “Taymerica” Attire

As Us Weekly reports, the world first became aware that Hiddleswift was a thing when Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston were photographed kissing on a rocky Rhode Island beach on June 14. Their choice of attire didn’t raise eyebrows then, but Tom got everyone talking when he returned to the same location for Taylor’s star-studded Fourth of July celebration. As People reports, he was photographed wearing a white tank top that read, “I (heart) T.S.” Taylor rocked a red Forever 21 bikini emblazoned with the word “America.”

Taylor’s patriotic bikini with a high neckline has since sold out, but it wouldn’t be too difficult to recreate it for a Halloween costume. You can purchase white iron-on letters from a craft store to spell out “America” on a red sports bra, and you can wear a pair of red bikini bottoms over nude-colored tights to keep your legs warm. If you also don’t want your arms and belly exposed to the frigid fall air, you may want to opt for a nude body stocking instead.

Complete your “Taymerica” look by putting on a pair of sunglasses and pulling your hair back into a low ponytail. If you’re a real stickler for details, slather on a little hair gel to make it look like you’ve been frolicking in the ocean.

You could use iron-on letters and an iron-on heart to create a knockoff of Tom Hiddleston’s “I (heart) T.S.” tank top, or you could simply use fabric pens to write the message on an old undershirt. Complete Tom’s outfit by putting on a pair of black shorts or swim trunks. To take your costume to the next level, have your “Taylor” use a washable red marker to draw a heart with a “T” in the middle of it on your right bicep.

Katy and Orlando’s Paddle Boarding Apparel

When Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom went paddle boarding in Sardinia earlier this month, Orlando only wore two things: a dark blue baseball hat and a pair of sunglasses. As Huffington Post reports, Twitter went wild over Orlando’s nude body, but obviously no guy is going to get away with walking around naked on Halloween.

One Orlando costume option is to wear a nude body stocking with a black piece of construction paper taped over the crotch as a makeshift “censored” bar. Another idea is to purchase a censored naked man morphsuit that has muscles, nipples, and a butt crack printed on it. You get bonus points if you carry a real paddle board paddle around with you all night, or create a replica of one using a broomstick, duct tape, and cardboard.

For Katy Perry’s look, all you’ll need is a yellow and blue tie-dyed bandeau bikini, nude leggings or a nude body stocking, and a pair of sunglasses. Pull your hair back, and you’re done. If you can’t find a bikini that looks similar to Katy’s, cut off a small square of a kitchen sponge, dip it into some blue fabric paint, and use it to create a diagonal checkered design on a solid yellow bikini.

Taylor Swift, Tom Hiddleston, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom’s days of fun in the sun are coming to an end now that the season of pumpkin spice lattes and haunted houses is upon us, but you can resurrect the celebrity couples’ frisky summer selves by rocking Halloween costumes inspired by their beachwear (or lack thereof).
