Dress up in a DIY Halloween costume as Wednesday Addams from Wednesday
By Diana Nosa
She’s creepy and she’s spooky, but she’s the Halloween princess we all know and love.
Of course, we’re talking about none other than Wednesday Addams, the character you absolutely should dress up as for this year’s spooky season!
Not only is dressing up as Wednesday Addams super easy, as the character loves sporting all-black attire, but it’s also extremely stylish, as every rendition of the iconic character has her dressed immaculately.
Though there are various versions of Wednesday Addams that you can draw inspiration from for your Halloween costume, we think that it’s best to channel Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of the character in Netflix’s Wednesday since it’s trendy and terrifying.
Here’s how to put together the perfect Wednesday Addams DIY Halloween costume.
How to dress like Wednesday Addams for Halloween
Okay, okay. We’ll admit that there’s a lot more to Wednesday’s style than just wearing all-black. That’s why we’ve handpicked clothes that we believe will truly capture this beloved character.
As for the top, you can’t go wrong with any of these options:
- Wednesday’s Girl Ribbed Sweater w/ Fluffy Cuffs ($46.00) – ASOS
- Knitted Textured Cable Sweater ($67.00) – ASOS
- Faux Gem-Collar Sweater ($27.64) – Forever 21 (Our Favorite!)
- Crew Drop-Sleeve Top ($11.84) – Forever 21
Wednesday loves her long skirts, so of course, we have to select the best of the best. Here are some of our favorite black bottoms from ASOS:
- Black Knitted Midi Skirt ($35.00)
- Sister Jane Midi Skirt w/ Contrast Pockets ($107.00)
- Black Satin Slip Midi Skirt ($49.00)
Any style of shoes and any accessory is perfectly fine with this costume, so long as they’re black and super creepy. But if you need a little push in the right direction, begin with Forever 21’s Faux Patent Leather Mary Jane Pumps for shoes and the site’s Spiderweb Fishnet Tights (or the Lace-Trim Thigh-High Socks) for accessories.
Last but not least, you can’t possibly recreate Wednesday’s look without those classic pigtails!
Any wig from any hair shop will work for the look, but if you’re looking for a wig that’s just right for this Halloween, then visit Amazon Prime to purchase their Wednesday Addams wig for $21.99.
We hope our selections were able to do Wednesday Addams justice. If so, show your support by sporting your stunning costume while you stream Wednesday on Wednesday, Nov. 23, only on Netflix!
