A couples costume is a paired Halloween outfit in which two people’s looks complete one joke, story or theme. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are famous practitioners, and at the 2026 Tompkins Square Dog Parade they arrived as an alleged scammer duo: Legend as Daejon Love, the man accused of posing as a 49ers player and defrauding women, and Teigen as his phony coach. The gag showed the couple’s instinct for costumes ripped straight from the week’s headlines.
