Wednesday Addams Costume Guide: Creating the Perfect Gothic Look for Cosplay

Wednesday Addams is not complete without her gothic attire. Her outfit reflects her ominously charming personality. It is an incredibly simple look, with a monochromatic color palette and vintage elegance.

The outfit consists of:

  • A knee-length black dress with long sleeves
  • A white collar or a white shirt to be worn inside the dress with only the collar popping out
  • Opaque Black stockings or tights
  • Simple black shoes – Mary Jane shoes, ballet flats or ankle boots, any would do!

For the hairstyle, part your hair in the middle into two neat and long braids. If you don’t have long or dark hair, consider donning a wig! This will help you achieve the perfect Wednesday Addams hairstyle.

For the makeup, you can aim for a pale skin tone with some black colored eyeliner and dark lipstick.

And if you want, you can even flaunt your natural, no-makeup face!

Wednesday’s dark, gothic ensemble makes her a very interesting character to cosplay and sets her apart from the usual, bright cosplays. Cosplaying Wednesday will help you embrace the beauty in being different, exuding a powerful sense of self-confidence and independence.
