Wednesday Addams Costume Ideas For Halloween

Wednesday Addams is the homicidal older child of the spookiest and ookiest family around, the Addams Family. She is the embodiment of darkness, with a fascination for all things death. We’re working to manifest her strong “don’t talk to me” energy, so we’re studying all of these Wednesday Addams costume ideas.

This past year, she became a Netflix star with the release of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, and her mother, Morticia, is the queen of Halloween, so that makes her a princess (just don’t tell her we called her that or she might do one of her science experiments on us). What better way to get into the spirit of Halloween than by dressing up as a sadistic teen with mild sociopathic traits. The latter you can just borrow from your ex.

In case you’re feeling like embracing your inner macabre minx, we’ve made it easier by compiling a list of all the elements you’ll need for goth-tastic Wednesday Addams costume ideas. Just don’t decapitate all of your little sister’s Barbies.

Everything You Need For A Wednesday Addams Costume

Wednesday Addams Costume Ideas

1. Black Peter Pan Collar Dress

This dress cut is one of Wednesday’s signatures, going all the way back to the New Yorker cartoon where we first met her. While she has had many looks over time, this dress is the wardrobe basic threaded throughout various incarnations. Again, don’t tell her we called her basic.

2. Black Wig with Braids

The darker the hair, the darker the soul. Though when you look into her eyes, it’s unclear if a soul is even in there.

3. Black Combat Boots

The soles on these need to be heavy enough that your threats of pain and punishment don’t seem empty.

4. Black Tights

No part of your body should see sunlight, not even your legs.

5. Thing Hand

Everyone needs a friend, though this one often acts as an accomplice.

Bonus: Wednesday Addams Dance Dress

You can always honor the Netflix series by wearing the now iconic dress Wednesday wore to her school dance. Bonus points if you learn the dance.
