One of the easiest (and forever classic!) Halloween costumes for a trio is The Pink Ladies from Grease. IMO, there's not a more iconic gal group.

SHOP PINK JACKET

Wednesday and Enid Sinclair

This is a classic costume idea that'll never get old, but Jenna Ortega gave us a modernized Wednesday Addams, which is super fun to channel alongside polar opposite Enid Sinclair.
