Over the years, Wednesday Addams costumes have become a classic Halloween look. Thanks to the release of the Netflix series Wednesday last fall and its highly-anticipated second season, it’s a costume that’s bound to be more popular than ever before. Christina Ricci's iconic character said it best: "This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac — they look just like everyone else." That darkness — not to mention how easy it is to make this a DIY costume — Wednesday Addams is a timeless Halloween costume favorite.
Wednesday is known for her dark humor and brooding demeanor. While the youngest Addams family member has many different looks across film, TV, and even Broadway, she’s best known for her long, dark braids and is always seen in her signature black dress with a white collar. Once you have both, complete the look with some vampy lipstick and a pair of dark shoes, and you’re good to go.
If you’re looking to channel your (or your little one’s) inner goth, we have you covered with the best Halloween ideas, outfits, and accessories for the best Wednesday Addams costume that's as classic as the Addams family itself. We included Mary Jane shoes, braided wigs, and even the black dress Wednesday wore to Rave’N Dance in the hit show. To truly embody her gothic style, we also included a white foundation and a dark lip pencil to recreate her striking look. Of course, we couldn’t forget Thing, so you’ll have a friend for all your Halloween festivities. From lace-up boots to collared dresses, we gathered everything you need to nail Wednesday's iconic look.
