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.

Women's Wednesday Addams Dress

The most important part of a classic Wednesday Addams costume is her signature dress, of course. This dress has rave reviews on Amazon, including one from a customer who said, "I bought this for my Wednesday Addams Halloween costume, but I already see myself wearing it [in] normal life, too. It's cute and sophisticated!"

Girl's Wednesday Addams Dress

This affordable Amazon pick is the perfect base for a child's Wednesday Addams costume. It has pockets (score!) and is available in a wide range of sizes.

Wednesday Addams Black Dance Dress

If you'd rather take inspiration from Wednesday's iconic dance dress from the 2022 Netflix series, you're in luck. This black, tulle dress is available in sizes for both for children and adults, with options from XS to 3X-Large.

Women's Combat Ankle Boots

These platform combat boots are 100% Wednesday-approved. We have a feeling that these stylish shoes could become part of your fall and winter wardrobe even beyond Halloween.

Kids Ankle Boots

For a kids' Wednesday costume, add this pair of black, shiny boots to your cart. They also zip open and close on the side, so no one has to struggle with tying laces.

Wednesday Addams Costume Collar

If you or your kiddo already have a black dress, no need to buy a whole new one. You can buy a collar separately to transform your LBD into a perfect Wednesday Addams costume.

Wig Cap and Black Wig With Bangs

In addition to her all-black wardrobe, the other thing Wednesday is known for is her hairstyle. Even if you don't have long black locks, you can still get the look with this top-rated wig from Amazon.

Magic Root Cover Up Concealer Spray in Black

If a wig isn't your style, grab a few cans of temporary hair color spray to recreate Wednesday's black braids. Depending on the length and thickness of your or your child's hair, you will likely need multiple cans for full coverage.

Thing Hand Prop

While Thing, Wednesday's loyal hand companion, can't crawl off your shoulder to grab candy for you, it will certainly look cool resting on your shoulder as a spooky costume accessory.

Nevermore Academy Uniform Costume for Girls

If your child wants to emulate Wednesday's school uniform look from the Netflix series, this costume should do just the trick. It includes the jacket, vest/shirt, and skirt.

'The Addams Family' Wednesday Addams Child Costume

Another outfit of Wednesday is this adorable, printed dress similar to the one worn by Jenna Ortega in the Netflix series. It's available in children's sizes 4-14.

Girls Microfiber Stockings

If you're worried about your little Wednesday getting cold while out trick-or-treating, you can add these opaque, black tights to her costume for extra warmth.

Gothic Darling Costume for Women

If you're looking for a simple, all-in-one costume, consider this option from Halloween Costumes, that comes with a dress and wig for an easy Wednesday Addams ensemble.

Gel Nail Lacquer in Absorb

The finishing touch to any Wednesday Addams costume should be black nail polish. This one from Pear Nova is cruelty-free, vegan, and doesn't require multiple coats for that stark black look, according to reviews.

Marshmallow Butter Lippie in "In My Feelings"

To complete your gothic, vampire-inspired Wednesday look, opt for a dark lipstick such as this one. The brand also offers a black lipstick, if that's more your style.

Women's Cotton Short-Sleeve Polo Dress

If you're looking for an office-appropriate take on Wednesday Addams, consider this elegant polo dress. With braids and makeup, it works perfectly as a Halloween costume, but you could also wear it as an everyday dress.

Toddler Wednesday Addams Black Dance Dress

This elegantly spooky dress is available in sizes 12 months and up, if your toddler wants to dress up as Wednesday Addams this year. It's also available in sizes meant for 2- to 3-year-olds, 3- to 4-year-olds, 4- to 5-year-olds, 5- to 6-year-olds, and 6- to 7-year-olds.

Mary Jane Shoes

If combat boots aren't your child's style, consider finishing off the look with a classic pair of Mary Jane shoes, which will be perfect for pairing with holiday dresses through fall and winter.

Wednesday Nevermore Color Logo Pullover Hoodie

For a low-key (and cozy) approach to your Wednesday Addams costume, consider donning a sweatshirt with the Nevermore Academy logo. You'll stay nice and warm all night long while trick-or-treating with the family.
