If your family loves watching Wednesday, you’re far from alone. The Addams Family daughter has always been one of the most popular Halloween costume ideas for women, especially now, thanks to the Netflix series starring Jenna Ortega. Whether you’re thinking of dressing up as the character, or you want to DIY a Halloween costume for your kid, you better start practicing your deadpan expression! You’ll also want to start ordering all of the essentials, such as a Wednesday-inspired dress, wig, makeup, and shoes. We’ve got all the best Wednesday Addams costumes and must-have accesories that you’ll need to pull off the look.
Luckily, Wednesday Addams is a costume that’s easy to DIY, especially if you’ve got a simple black dress and can put your hair into braids. But if you’d rather spring for a store-bought costume, there are plenty of options out there. You and your child can wear Wednesday’s famous dance dress or her uniform from Nevermore Academy. If you’d rather keep your outfit classic with a ’90s costume inspired by Christina Ricci’s version of Wednesday, or the Lisa Loring version of Wednesday from the ’60s, we’ve got picks for you, too. You could also have your little one dress up as Wednesday while you go as Morticia for a fun mother-daughter Halloween costume.
These Addams Family outfits are creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky, and altogether ooky… well, you know the rest! Here are the best Wednesday Addams costume ideas of 2023.
