If your family loves watching Wednesday, you're far from alone. The Addams Family daughter has always been a popular Halloween costume idea, 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 begin practicing your deadpan expression now! You'll also want to start ordering all the essentials, like a Wednesday-inspired dress, wigs, accessories, and shoes. We've got all the Wednesday Addams costumes you need to pull it off.

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 or your kid 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 child dress up as Wednesday while you go as Morticia for a fun mother-daughter Halloween costume.

These Addams family outfits are creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky... well, you know the rest! Here are the best Wednesday Addams costume ideas of 2023.
