Why Can't I Look Like...Lydia Deetz (Halloween Edition!)

Since it is Halloween week, I thought I would do a spooooooky #WCW this week! Let's take a look at our favorite dark child, Lydia Deetz. In Beetlejuice, Winona Ryder plays Lydia Deetz, a dark, brooding teen that's very into death and dying. Her morbid attitude combined with her neutral wardrobe basically makes for Halloween perfection.

I channel Lydia Deetz throughout the entire year (who can resist wearing all black??) but I thought it would be especially fun to get some inspiration for an easy and recognizable costume!

Obviously, the iconic red wedding dress in the film is a staple. However, red is a pretty bold choice for Lydia. The key elements here are the spiky hair, lots of sheer and lace fabric, and of course the pale face with little to no makeup.

Lydia's comfort zone clothing is black. Long skirts, baggy tops, and lace are very important. Short bangs, spiky or straight, are vital. To top it all off (no pun intended), the floppy hat gives an extra brooding touch.

So, are you stuck without a Halloween costume? Here's a set to help you channel Lydia without having to leave your own closet!
