Halloween is upon us, friends, and we’re calling it now: Wednesday costumes are going to be everywhere in 2023—and tbh, that shouldn’t be a surprise to you. Ever since the series premiered on Netflix in November 2022, it’s been all TF over social media, thanks to its v quotable lines, fun goth-prep ‘fits, and truly iconique dance number. And though it may be a while before we see season 2 (which is def happening, btw), you can take a trip back to Nevermore Academy with these super-easy Wednesday Halloween costume ideas, which are a snap (lol) to put together.
Whether you’re looking to dress up like Wednesday Addams, Enid Sinclair, or any other member of Nevermore Academy, we’ve got tons of lewks ready for you to rock on October 31—including a perfect dupe of Wednesday’s Rave’N Dance ensemble. Just saying, these costumes are pretty much guaranteed to earn ya tons of love on IG (unless, ofc, you find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation or w/e). Ahead, all the best Wednesday Halloween costumes for 2023.
