1. Classic Beetlejuice Stripes

Nothing screams Beetlejuice more than his iconic black-and-white striped suit. This look is perfect for anyone wanting to channel their inner Ghost with the Most. Pair a striped blazer with matching pants or a skirt, add a white button-up shirt, and finish it off with a black tie. If you're feeling bold, add a wild wig or tease your hair for that messy, otherworldly look. Pro Tip: Don't forget the white face makeup with darkened eyes—true Beetlejuice style requires a little undead flair.

2. Lydia Deetz: Goth Queen

Lydia, played by Winona Ryder, is the ultimate goth icon. Embrace her dark, poetic spirit with a black lace dress, oversized hat, or veil. If you're going for her wedding look, try a red, vintage-style gown paired with a black veil and dramatic eye makeup. Keep your hair sleek and black, or try Lydia's signature messy updo for that extra haunted vibe. Pro Tip: Carry a camera or a journal—Lydia was never without her tools for capturing the supernatural!

3. Beetle Bride

With Beetlejuice always on the hunt for a new love, there's no better time to pay homage to the ill-fated bride scene from the original film. Get creative with a torn wedding dress, veil, and dark accents like black lace gloves or dramatic jewelry. Whether you opt for the ghostly white look or give it a goth twist with black details, this costume is sure to turn heads. Pro Tip: For a touch of the supernatural, add some dark eye shadow to give you the fresh afterlife look.

4. The Maitlands: Deadly Chic

Adam and Barbara Maitland, the unfortunate ghost couple, bring a sense of vintage style to the afterlife. For Adam, think plaid shirts, suspenders, and a slightly disheveled look. Barbara’s style can be captured with a simple, retro dress paired with soft curls. Add ghostly white face makeup to complete the look. Pro Tip: If you want to take it to the next level, replicate their iconic "stretched face" looks with some clever makeup or prosthetics!

5. Sandworm Glam

For a more creative take, channel the eerie yet fascinating sandworms from the film. Think monochrome outfits with long, flowing stripes. You can go abstract with snake-like patterns or fully commit to a head-to-toe sandworm-inspired ensemble. Create a headpiece with faux teeth or use makeup to give the illusion of being swallowed whole by one of these creatures. Pro Tip: Add some dramatic eye makeup and a long, snaking scarf to evoke that slithering sandworm vibe.

No matter which look you choose, the key to making this the goth event of the year is in the details. Don’t forget to accessorize with dark, dramatic jewelry, gloves, and the perfect haunted makeup look. And of course, add your own creative twist to truly make your outfit stand out. On September 6, when Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice hits theaters, let your wardrobe channel the strange and unusual vibe that makes this franchise so beloved. Get tickets, say it three times—Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice—and get ready for the event of your afterlife!
