The arrival of the spooky season has brought with it a peculiar trend on social media, particularly on TikTok. Fans of the Netflix series Wednesday have found a quirky outlet for their enthusiasm, transforming plush dolls of the beloved character into comically "bald" versions.

 

These dolls, modeled after Jenna Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams, typically feature the character’s iconic dark school uniform and signature jet-black pigtails. However, creative fans have discovered that flipping the braids over the doll’s head creates an amusing bald appearance, sparking a wave of humorous content across social platforms.

The trend gained significant traction following the release of the latest trailer for the supernatural series. While the prank appears harmless, its widespread popularity has prompted some retailers to take action. Reports suggest that certain department stores, frustrated with customers altering the dolls’ hairstyles, have started putting up signs asking shoppers not to flip the braids. 

 

This cheeky trend speaks volumes about Wednesday Addams’ enduring appeal and the creative ways fans engage with their favorite characters. As production for Wednesday Season 2 moves forward, viewers eagerly anticipate updates on the series, which promises to explore deeper the delightfully macabre world of the Addams Family. 

 

Whether this playful trend fades after Halloween or continues to amuse, one thing is sure: Wednesday Addams has charmed fans everywhere with her gothic charm. Are you guilty of giving your Wednesday doll the bald treatment?
