We’re heading to a Halloween costume party this weekend and we needed to pull a couples costume together at the last minute. We made a list of famous duos – Ricky & Lucy, Beyonce & Jay-Z, Peanut Butter & Jelly … but decided to go edgy and classic: an Axl Rose + Slash costume!
Here’s how we pulled our costume together using things we already had (blacks pants and flannels) and a few key pieces we ordered on Amazon Prime (you have time to do the same)!
Materials for an Axl Rose Costume
- Guns n’ Roses tee-shirt (or a retro band tee of your choosing)
- Leather jacket
- Axl Rose Wig + Accessories
Materials for a Slash Costume
- Black jeans
- Black t-shirt
- Sunglasses
- Cut off gloves
- Slash Wig + Hat Set

Update: after a few years, I’m still impressed with how this Slash costume idea has held up! We got tons of comments on these outfits, and even better, we were able to re-use a lot of the clothing pieces later on (you can never go wrong with a plain black t-shirt. Definitely one of my favorite Halloween outfits of all time!
