Winifred Sanderson and her two sisters lived in the 1600s. They all sold their souls to the Devil in exchange of magical powers and an incredible spell book. Needless to say, Winnie is a witch. She’s a very powerful one too. She’s sadistic, temperamental, and cruel: all characteristics that make her a typical witch. She’s also very cunning which makes her de facto leader of the trio of witch sisters.
Winifred’s outfit is definitely out of date in the modern world. She prefers a nice green-colored renaissance dress, an emerald green cloak, black and green-striped knee-high socks, and black ankle boots. Here’s everything you need to look like Winifred Sanderson.
Winifred’s most striking features are her big front teeth and fiery red hair, which she wears in a curled bouffant style. In contrast with her red hair, Winifred wears a greenish medieval gown. She also has long nails that make her hand look like claws. If you wish to recreate Winifred Sanderson’s witchy look, check out our item list down below!

Winifred Sanderson, famously portrayed by Bette Midler, is one of the main characters in Hocus Pocus, a 1993 comedy-fantasy movie about the battle of three youngsters and three powerful witches who are resurrected after three centuries of death and now hungry for revenge. Winifred has two younger sisters: Mary and Sarah.
All three become witches because they sell their souls to Satan in exchange for magical powers and an invaluable spellbook that could magically change its contents to suit any situation. Winifred is highly dramatic, sadistic, and temperamental, which makes her all the more deadly if one isn’t careful.
