Meta Avatars Update: The Devil’s in the Details

Whether you’re in your Barbiecore era, channeling your inner mermaid, or taking a page out of goth icon Wednesday Addams’s playbook, Halloween is the perfect time to express yourself, reinvent your image, or take a fabulous new fit out for a spin. And Meta Avatars are here to help you celebrate spooky season in style.

Announced as part of our v57 update, we’ve been rolling out some exciting new changes to make Meta Avatars more expressive, customizable, and fantastical than ever before. We’re introducing new skin colors like purple, so you can relive the Grimace Shake fad in the metaverse. New support for two-toned hair color means you can replicate your IRL highlights or ombré style. Both hair and skin color options now allow for near-infinite customization, with multiple base options and sliding gradients. A new customization category offers a variety of distinct face art designs and looks. You’ll notice new makeup offerings like lashes, eyeshadow, blush, and lip customizations. And we’re introducing new hair styles and adding new ways to part your hair.

With wild hair and skin colors, new headwear options, and our extensive catalog of clothing, Meta Avatars let you do more than just represent yourself. Want to express your love of the game during football season? Your avatar can sport body paint, a jersey, and a helmet. Reinventing your image? Use your avatar to try out new identities. In the mood for some roleplaying? Be an astronaut! The sky’s the limit for how you can reinvent yourself in the metaverse.

Meta Avatars let you show up and show out across Facebook and Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Meta Quest Platform. From realistic representations to more dramatic expressions of your current mood, your avatar is a digital representation of everything that makes you uniquely you. And with billions upon billions of combinations of diverse hair styles, facial features, body shapes, and outfits, there’s no end to the customization possibilities.

More than a billion Meta Avatars have been created to date, so whether you’re creating one for the first time or simply (re)vamping your image for Halloween, you’re in good company. Visit meta.com/avatars to learn more. Happy haunting!
