    Forget couple costumes – dress up as your dog this Halloween

    Happy spooky season, everyone!

    The monsters of corporate commerce would have you believe that you are nobody until someone loves you … or is willing to support you as 1/2 of a couple’s suit, Sandy to your Danny, spaghetti for your meatballs, Keni for your Barbie and loofah in your soap.

    We here at The Post blow a kiss in protest.

    If you’re in the market for a lifetime of love and loyalty, then get yourself a fur baby—preferably a rescue, and definitely the kind that will let you subject them to the indignity of a zodiac suit.

    From pet costumes for big dogs to small, fun to scary, we’ve got you covered.

    Here’s to dogs we don’t deserve and the most wonderful time of the year. Read on to discover the best and cutest Halloween costumes for dog and owner. While you’re here, be sure to read our guide to the dog breed that matches your zodiac sign and the best costumes for your pets.

    Barista and Frappuccino

    Aries prefer life in the fast lane and their caffeine high.

    Many astrologers place the sacred coffee bean itself in the area of ​​the red planet Mars, the ruling luminary of Aries. In nature, this suit gives a double look of a cool f-king.

    Find your dog’s coffee suit here.

    IBS, Impatience, and Rapid Dissolving Fury sold separately.

    Beanie Baby and Beanie Boo

    As the first earth sign in the zodiac, Taurus is very close to their inner animal and very much into any Halloween costume that prioritizes comfort and warmth. This outfit, basically a plush comforter dressed as a jumpsuit, gets the job done. Adults can be purchased here, and lion mane for dogs is available here.

    The angel and the devil

    Symbolized by the trash-talking, god-defying twins Castor and Pollux, Gemini represents the fundamental duality present in all things and all people: good and evil, dark and light, bark and bite, horn and halo. Honor the divinity of these divisions with a devil/angel duo costume.

    Horns here, halos there.

    Daenerys Targaryen and her dragon offspring

    Ruled by the moon, Cancer represents the mother archetype and there has never been a fiercer female than the mother of dragons herself, HRH Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and First Men, Protector of Seven Kingdoms, Unburnt, Breaker of Chains.

    Pennywise and Georgia

    Leo rules the fifth house of pleasure and play; colloquially known as the “house of fun”, it is the natural domain of laughter, clowns and other theatrics. Long on brow, short on subtlety and a pervert of the game, Pennywise, as previously established is a card-carrying member of the lion pride.

    Big cats and their little dogs can find raincoats here and Pennywise inspo here.

    Pope / Nun

    The Pope’s robe is available here, and the nun’s habit can be found here.

    Basic witches

    Libra is ruled by Venus, and by default, Libra people are motivated by the beautiful and the pleasant. This commitment to likability and ease sometimes translates into a bad case of basic b–ch.

    Whether you dress up ironically or because it’s your everyday uniform (#PumpkinSpice4Life) the basic set of pregnant witches is for you.

    Guide dog is not required but highly recommended.

    Wednesday and Pugsley Addams

    As previously proven, Wednesday Addams, with her preference for the esoteric and fiery side eye is a quintessential Scorpio.

    As a sign of ultimate power and ulterior motives, every straight-faced protagonist needs an accomplice. In this suit, a Pugsley the dog (no pedigree required) provides the perfect compliment to this tailed powerhouse.

    Find the Pugsley sweater for your dog here.

    Where’s Waldo?

    Sagittarius is the sign of the seeker, and this Where’s Waldo dog/people rising compliments the free-wheeling, ever-roaming, ghost-prone spirit of the archer.

    The glasses make you look smart and the dog suggests you’re more dedicated than previously believed, a win-win. A similar costume can be found here.

    Bad cop and dog

    Capricorn is ruled by harsh Saturn, the planet of limitations, straight lines and hard knocks. This lord gives the native a real daddy/guardian/correctional officer energy.

    Sea goats can feel their mark and indulge their love of uniforms with this dog couple costume. Find prison stripes for your dog here and cop costume accessories for you here.

    ET & Elliott

    Aquarius is the sign of all that falls beyond: space travel, electricity and extraterrestrials. Consequently, natives often feel disconnected or disconnected from the land itself. Water Bearers can honor their eccentricity and dream of flight with this easy DIY costume that features them as the kind kid Elliot and their dog as the sparkly, ball-throwing, planet-flying, sentient being that is ET .

    Jacquemus opens in Soho, Barbie at MAD, more NYC events this week

    Each week, Alexa is rounding up the buzziest fashion awards, hotel openings, restaurant debuts and popular cultural events in NYC. It’s our curated guide to the best things to see, buy, taste and experience around town.

    Jacquemus fans rejoice! The designer has chosen our fair city for his first boutique in the United States. It’s on the corner of Spring and Wooster in an 1818 Federal house where previous tenants ran the gamut from Crocs to One King’s Lane. The two-story, 2,900-square-foot boutique was designed by OMA and is filled with important furniture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Jean Royere. But what might be of more interest is the exclusive merchandise, namely a hoodie, shirt, baseball cap and mug, available only at the Soho store or online. Jacquemus.com

    If her resume is any indication, Meria Pergay is one of today’s most impressive furniture designers – check out her exhibition at Demisch Danant this fall. Courtesy of Maria Pergay

    Maria Pergay may be one of the most significant yet under-the-radar furniture designers of the 20th century. She designed objects for Hermes, Dior and Balenciaga before embracing the then-avant-garde material of stainless steel and creating pieces that have aged remarkably well, as evidenced in a new exhibition at the Demisch Danant gallery. “Precious strength | Maria Pergay Over the Decades’ features 35 works created before and after Suzanne Demisch and Stephane Danant tracked her down (some 20 years ago) and dragged her out of relative obscurity to design once more. They have since defended Pergay, who died last year. This exhibition is as much a tribute to him as it is a testament to their perseverance and dedication. Through November 30, DemischDanant.com

On display: over 250 vintage dolls, 22 original ensemble outfits, advertisements and ephemera, and interviews with doll designers. There’s more, including a life-size Barbie Mirror-Pink Corvette that’s clearly made for Instagram moments. “We are tickled ‘pink’ to welcome Barbie to MAD,” said Tim Rodgers, director of the Nanette L. Laitman Museum of Arts and Design. “More than just a toy for persuasion and role-playing, Barbie has responded to and reflected almost every important social advance over the past six decades.” Through March 16, 2025 at MADMuseum.org
