An important part of any costume, you may ask? The nails. So, we’ve rounded up some nail art ideas for each character, as the finishing touch to bring each spooky look to life.
1.Wednesday Addams
Claiming the most popular spot is, unsurprisingly, Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, from hit TV show, The Addams Family. TikTok engagement with the character has seen over one million tags and more than 94,000 Google searches.
The characters costume is simple to replicate, perhaps a reason as to its popularity this year, seeing fancy-dressers adorned in black dresses, white collars and braided hair.

2. Pearl
Pearl is a character who stars in aptly named horror film, Pearl, and played by Mia Goth. The film hit UK cinemas in March 2023, but the characters’ signature, retro outfits bode a simple, yet effective, costume for the upcoming season. And with over 759,000 TikTok tags and 62,000 Google searches, many horror fans seem to agree.
Costume replicas often pt for her classic casual look: a light blue shirt beneath an iconic blue denim jumpsuit. Or, thosewanting an excuse to get glam may also decide on her elegant red dress.
