Carnival 2023 is just around the corner and since the release of the series “Wednesday” on Netflix, Wednesday Adams’ costume is more popular than ever. In this article you will learn what are the must-have elements of the look of our favorite character, brilliantly portrayed by actress Jenna Ortega, and how you can look exactly like the youngest member of the Addams Family.
Imitate Wednesday costume – Which elements are a must
Wednesday is known for her dark humor and striking looks. While the youngest member of the Addams family can be seen in many different looks in film, television and even on Broadway, she is best known for her long, dark braids and is always seen in her signature black dress with a white collar. If you have both, complete the look with a vampire lipstick and a pair of dark shoes. So if you're looking to channel your inner goth (or your little one's), here are some ideas for you. Here you'll find everything you need to create your own iconic Wednesday costume.
The black dress and the white pointed collar
The first thing you need for a Wednesday costume is a long-sleeved black dress. Since this may not be easy to find, you can also opt for a long-sleeved shirt and a black sweater and a skirt in the same color. Your shoes must also be black, it is best to choose black Oxford-style shoes or at least dress shoes.
You will also need a white pointed collar to slip over your dress, as this is one of the most distinctive elements of a Wednesday costume. You can just wear a white shirt under your dress.
In the new range, Wednesday's iconic dress has been refreshed with floral polka dot motifs. So if you have a dress with a pattern, you might as well use it. The only important thing is that it is black and that you complement the look with other characteristic details.
Black and white stripes and hoodie
Comfort can definitely be pretty too, and Wednesday's outfit definitely proved that with the layered hoodie and black and white striped blouse or dress (depending on what you have in your closet). Best of all, you probably already own some (if not all) of the clothes you need for this look. Complete the casual outfit with flared leggings and platform boots for a modern touch.
And don't forget Wednesday's signature braids. If you have long hair, part straight down the middle of your hair and braid one on each side of your head. If not, you can find a black Wednesday wig with braids or braid it yourself.

If you thought this type of look was only appropriate for the office or a work event, think again. With a few adjustments, like a shorter skirt or a looser tie, you can go to a girls' night out or Mardi Gras 2023 in this outfit. Whatever the occasion, Wednesday knows this look is on fire.
The dress for the school ball - splendor made of tulle and lace
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that our mouths fell open when Wednesday came down the stairs in this stunning dress. The tulle! The purity! Create this whimsical elegance for Carnival 2023. Since the dress in the series has a touch of vintage and you probably don't have a dress like this in your closet, you can combine a black lace shirt with a long tulle skirt for this look. Pair with lace-up boots, wear an updo, paint your nails with black nail polish and complete your look with a light burgundy lipstick.

Wednesday's softly smudged brown-plum or reddish lips can be achieved by mixing the right color of lipstick and applying some clear balm to your lips. Please don't forget the black eyeliner, it's a must! And if you're in the right mood for it, you can also add a few freckles on your face.
