Mr. and Mrs. Fox from "Fantastic Mr. Fox"
@chloaymay mr. and mrs. fox take on halloween 🦊 #fantasticmrfox #halloweencostume #fyp #couplescostume #foryou ♬ SO MANY HOT PEOPLE USED THIS SOUND - 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊
If you're planning on dressing up with your partner this Halloween, this costume inspired by Fantastic Mr. Fox is a super cute idea. For Mrs. Fox, decorate a yellow bodycon dress with red and green fabric markers, drawing apples all over it. You'll decorate a yellow server's apron the exact same way. Finish off the costume with fox ears, painted-on fox nose makeup, and some paintbrushes to keep in the apron. Mr. Fox's costume is easy: have your partner wear the same fox ears and nose makeup, khaki pants, a white button up shirt tucked in, and a tie. Voila!

To take this TikTok Halloween costume even further, take some makeup inspo from clown costumes. (via Studio Inés on TikTok)
