How to put it together
- 1
Choose your character: Go with Zed's zombie-punk look or Addison's bright cheerleader aesthetic.
- 2
For Zed, layer a grey t-shirt under your distressed maroon varsity jacket and put on the ripped grey jeans.
- 3
Secure the Z-Band wristband onto your right wrist; this is the most crucial accessory for any Seabrook zombie.
- 4
For Addison, slip on the pink cheerleader dress and carry a pair of fluffy white pom-poms.
- 5
Style your hair according to the character—bright green for Zed (or zombie Addison) or bright blonde for classic Addison.
- 6
Finish the look with clean white sneakers for Addison, or scuffed black combat boots for Zed.
Makeup & hair
For Zed, style your hair with temporary green hair spray and apply pale foundation with light grey eyeshadow around the eyes to look undead but friendly. For Addison, wear a bright blonde wig styled in a high half-up ponytail with a pink bow, keeping makeup bright, clean, and cheerful.

Tips
- If using green hair spray, apply it outdoors and set it with hairspray to prevent it from rubbing off on your costume.
- Make sure your Z-band is secure; you can use double-sided tape to keep it from sliding down your arm while dancing.
- For outdoor trick-or-treating, Addison can wear white leggings under her cheer skirt to stay warm.
- Scuff up Zed's boots with a little bit of real dirt or grey paint to make them look authentically post-apocalyptic.
Disney Zombies costume FAQ
- How do you make a DIY Z-Band?
- You can use a wide grey sweatband or a cut plastic bottle painted grey, then attach a green glow stick or paint a bright green rectangle in the center.
- What color is Addison's hair in Zombies?
- Addison wears a bright blonde wig to hide her natural white hair in the first movie, but she also sports a short blue wig and eventually her natural white hair later in the series.
- Is the Disney Zombies costume suitable for cold weather?
- Zed's costume is warm due to the layers and jeans. For Addison's cheerleader outfit, we recommend adding skin-toned fleece leggings and a white long-sleeve undershirt.
Did you know? The signature green hair of the Necrodopolis zombies in the movie was achieved using custom-blended wigs and temporary color waxes to give each zombie character a unique shade of green.
