Halloween Costume Idea For Steven Universe Fans
Stevonnie is what Steven and Connie become when they fuse, and the first thing they do is go out and enjoy having a body. They debut in the Season 1 episode Alone Together, which aired January 15, 2015 (Wikipedia). The gem on the belly is the one piece that makes this costume readable. Fans will get it fast. Everyone else will see a person in a red tee and jean shorts.

People look at the chest first, so the star on the tee has to be easy to see. Hide it under a jacket and you are just a person in a red shirt. The belly gem is small, and in a dim room nobody will notice it unless they get close. Skip the wig and the whole thing turns into a generic summer outfit.
In Alone Together, Stevonnie is at a crowded dance when a boy named Kevin pushes too far. They have a panic attack and split back into Steven and Connie. You can borrow the good part of that. If the room gets too loud, walk outside and take a break.
Test the gem early
A gem on your belly gets pulled every time you sit, bend, or dance. Stick it on the day before and move around. If it lifts, add a dab of skin-safe glue. A gem on the floor by 10 p.m. ruins the point of the costume.
The props are small
The wooden sword and shield are sized for teens or small adults. On a tall adult they look like toys. Hold the shield close to your body in a crowd, or leave both at home.
Trio Idea
Strong if all three people commit and stand together. Two friends play the parts and one plays the fusion, which is the whole story of the character. It needs someone who knows the show, because strangers will just see three people in matching colors.
Group Idea: Crystal Gems Lineup
Might work, but only with a crowd that has seen the show. Garnet is a fusion too, so she and Stevonnie make a good pair, though the joke needs explaining. Pearl and Amethyst are the easiest to recognize here, and Stevonnie is the one people will ask about.
Most of this is clothes you may already own. The tee, the gem, and the wig are the parts worth buying.
Stevonnie is happy and a little overwhelmed. Keep it friendly and relaxed.
Wear a red star tee over a light blue crop top and blue denim shorts. Add a long black wavy wig and stick a pink gem on your belly button. A pink shield and sword are optional.
Only if your crowd knows the show. Steven Universe fans spot it right away, but most other guests will see a person in a red shirt and jean shorts. The gem and the wig do most of the explaining.
Stevonnie is the fusion of Steven and Connie, two best friends who merge into one person. They first appear in the Season 1 episode Alone Together (Steven Universe Wiki).

Neither. Stevonnie is nonbinary and uses they and them. Anyone can wear this costume.
No. The costume reads fine without them. They only help if you want a prop to hold at a party.
Yes. Stevonnie is one character, so you do not need a partner. Two friends who want to be Steven and Connie can still stand next to you.
