Ever since Netflix’s Wednesday dropped, the world hasn’t been the same — or at least, not as darkly delightful. Jenna Ortega’s deadpan charm, the gothic-meets-academia aesthetic, and that now-iconic dance scene have made Wednesday more than a show — it’s a full-blown cultural moment. From TikTok trends to fashion runways, everyone’s been channeling their inner Addams.
But why is it trending again this Halloween? Simple: Wednesday is the perfect storm of spooky and stylish. Fans love her unapologetic attitude, her razor-sharp wit, and her effortlessly haunting wardrobe. Plus, with whispers of season two on the horizon, interest in Nevermore Academy is rising all over again.
When it comes to costumes, Wednesday nails the look for anyone wanting to go dark without losing the glam. Picture black lace, crisp collars, and braided perfection — a timeless combination that’s instantly recognizable yet endlessly customizable. Whether you go full goth or add a modern twist, dressing as Wednesday Addams is more than a costume — it’s a statement.
