Jack and Rose Costume
Bring the timeless romance of Titanic to life this Halloween.
Jack and Rose from James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic are one of cinema's most romantic duos, making them a classic choice for couples. Their look captures the stark class contrast of 1912, pairing Jack's rugged, working-class layers with Rose's elegant, high-society Edwardian fashion. Together, they create an instantly recognizable and nostalgic costume pairing.

How to put it together
- 1
For Jack: Put on the cream collarless shirt, roll the sleeves up to the mid-forearm, and tuck it into the brown trousers.
- 2
Attach the dark suspenders to the trousers and pull them over the shoulders.
- 3
Put on the brown corduroy jacket, leaving it completely open, and finish with worn-in brown leather boots.
- 4
For Rose: Put on the Edwardian-style empire-waist dress, ensuring the skirt flows elegantly to the ankles.
- 5
Fasten the Heart of the Ocean necklace around the neck so it rests prominently on the chest.
- 6
Style both hairstyles to match the wind-swept, romantic look from the film's deck scenes.
Makeup & hair
For Jack, style hair in a messy, center-parted 90s curtain look with light pomade. For Rose, style hair into loose, romantic copper-red curls pinned half-up, leaving a few tendrils framing the face. Keep makeup natural with a soft pink lip for Rose.
