1. The Classic Lydia Deetz: The All-Black Ensemble
Remember Lydia’s intro scene in Beetlejuice? You know, where she looks like she just wandered out of a Tim Burton fever dream? This all-black outfit pays homage to her gothic glory.
What you’ll need:
- A black maxi dress (bonus points for layers and flowy fabric—just in case you need to dramatically storm off).
- Belted at the waist, because even the goth queen herself needs some shape. [GET MY BELT HERE]
- A black choker necklace to whisper, “I don’t believe in fashion trends.”
- Wide-brim felt hat—because nothing says “mysterious” like hiding your face from society (and the sun).
- Black platform Mary Janes with black ruffle socks (cute and intimidating, the perfect combo).
- Beetlejuice backpack. Because if you’re going to channel Lydia, might as well carry a reminder that you can call on the ghost with the most at any moment.
- Deep burgundy red lipstick. You know, for those moments when you need to make a point without actually speaking.
This outfit is perfect for spooky fall outings or just letting people know you’re not here for small talk.

2. Lydia Deetz’s Red Wedding Dress… But Make It Fashion
Lydia’s infamous red wedding dress scene. Sure, it was for a forced marriage to a questionable poltergeist, but let’s focus on the style. This burgundy red dress is the perfect nod to the movie’s most memorable (and chaotic) moment.
What you’ll need:
- Burgundy red dress with sheer bell sleeves (because Lydia, like all goth girls, knows how to keep things dramatic).
- Black waist belt. Because we’re still keeping it chic and shapely.
- Black wide-brim felt hat. (Yes, again. There’s a theme here.)
- Black knee-high platform boots. They’re comfy AND badass.
- The Beetlejuice backpack. It’s officially part of your look now.
- Deep burgundy red lipstick to finish off your haunted bridal vibes.
This is the outfit that says, “I may not be getting married to a ghost today, but if I were, I’d look fabulous.”

3. The All-Black-Everything Lydia Deetz Special
When in doubt, Lydia always defaults to black, and so should you. This look is for those moments when you want to blend into the shadows but still make a statement. It’s what Lydia would wear to a séance… or to run errands on a Monday.
What you’ll need:
- Black dress with a shoulder cape, because Lydia knows that capes are criminally underrated.
- A belt cinched at the waist for a little structure, but still keeping it Lydia-level brooding.
- Knee-high black platform boots to stomp on any social interaction you’d rather avoid.
- Lace fingerless gloves for a touch of Victorian-era goth, but still functional enough to use your phone.
- Black wide-brim felt hat (of course).
- Black bat backpack, because nothing says “goth on the go” like carrying your stuff in a bat-shaped bag.
- Deep burgundy red lipstick to complete the vibe. Let’s face it, this is Lydia’s signature.
This look is ideal for everything from casual Halloween outings to lurking in dark corners at parties.
4. Witchy Vibes: The White Shirt Dress Edition
While Lydia usually prefers the darker end of the wardrobe spectrum, this white shirt dress brings a little twist—because even goth girls deserve to mix it up (in the most witchy way possible).
What you’ll need:
- A white shirt dress. It’s spooky, but in a “not too mainstream” way.
- Black corset harness belt. It’s giving goth-meets-witch vibes, and honestly, it’s perfect.
- Wide-brim felt hat. (Yes, again. Lydia practically invented the wide-brim felt hat.)
- Vintage black-and-white charm necklace to really lean into that witchy aesthetic.
- Black heart-shaped purse. (Because even in your gothiest moments, accessories matter.)
- Black knee-high platform boots, because Lydia Deetz would never sacrifice her boots for anyone.
- Deep burgundy red lipstick, as always.
This look screams “witchy but cute”—perfect for Halloween parties, fall outings, or just when you feel like putting a spell on someone.
