Bruno Mars and Rosé

One standout idea is to channel the energy of Bruno Mars and Rosé, inspired by their hit song "APT," which has topped iTunes charts in over 51 regions.

To get the Bruno Mars vibe, think of a cool and laid-back vibe with a white t-shirt under a black leather jacket, accessorised with a black cap and dark sunglasses. Add a pop of colour by tying a red plaid shirt around waist and wears a silver chain necklace for added flair.

Bruno's overall look is a mix of casual comfort with a dash of rock-and-roll attitude.

Meanwhile, Rosé’s look centres around an edgy yet chic style with a cropped white top and a black leather mini skirt adorned with silver studs and a chain belt. A black leather jacket adds a bold touch, complemented by a necklace and minimal jewellery. Her look is finished with blonde hair styled in loose curls for a modern twist.

It captures the boldness of pop culture and the confidence of modern style, making for a head-turning couple's look.

For a unique and sporty couple’s costume, dress as Yusuf Dikeç, the celebrated Turkish Olympic shooter.

One can capture the competitive spirit by dressing in Turkey's official Olympic shooting attire, a simple white sports shirt with "Turkey" boldly displayed, paired with dark athletic pants.

Add sporty accessories like a pair of shooting glasses and a replica pistol to highlight the shooting event. For authenticity, consider incorporating details like a mock medal, or a sports watch for that extra touch of realism.

The other partner can play the role of a supportive coach or passionate fan, wearing a sporty outfit in Turkey’s national colours. A red or white cap, a Turkish flag in hand, and maybe even a whistle around the neck can emphasise the support for the athlete.

The Bear

One trendy couple's costume that’s sure to be a hit also is inspired by the acclaimed series The Bear. Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of Carmy Berzatto has catapulted him into the ‘Sexy Chef’ movement, making this costume choice both timely and effortlessly cool.

To nail the look, one partner can dress as Carmy by donning a chef's coat, an apron with a bit of kitchen mess, visible tattoos, and a rugged, slightly dishevelled hairstyle. Capture Carmy's blend of street-smart Chicago style and professional kitchen gear, a perfect mix of gritty realism and culinary artistry.

For the other partner, consider embodying another character from the series, like Sydney, Carmy’s determined sous-chef. Rock a similar kitchen-ready vibe with a casual button-up shirt, hair tied back, and a serious, determined expression to match the show's intense atmosphere.

This costume not only taps into the culinary chic trend but also lets you channel the drama and passion of the kitchen, giving you a fresh and cultural twist that fans of The Bear will instantly recognise.
