Bringing Morticia Addams back to life: Catherine Zeta-Jones set for series revival.
In the world of "Wednesday," the highly successful Netflix series that returned for its second season on August 6, the fashion choices of its stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jenna Ortega are as intriguing as the show itself.
During a PR tour for the series, Zeta-Jones donned a deep black two-piece suit. The tailored blazer, featuring peplum, was intricately embroidered with vibrant red poppies, while the pencil skirt showcased falling leaves. Zeta-Jones paired this outfit with red high heels, dark sunglasses, gold hoops, and several rings, paying homage to her role as Morticia Addams.
Meanwhile, Ortega (22) opted for a more mature, goth-inspired look. At the season two screening at the Paris Theatre in New York City, she wore a jet-black gothic gown from Ann Demeulemeester's Fall 2025 collection. The dress combined satin and thick leather in diagonal wavy strips reminiscent of bat wings, a nod to Wednesday Addams' love of black but with a more adult edge. Ortega accessorised with lace-up, knee-high leather boots, enhancing the gothic theme.
At the London premiere, Ortega chose a different look—a nude snakeskin-design dress with a shedding effect from high neck to peplum skirt, paired with nude accessories and slicked back hair. This edgy yet sophisticated look complemented her fashion evolution while maintaining a connection to the dark, dramatic tone of the series.
Zeta-Jones (55) and Ortega almost twinned during their appearances, their outfits echoing gothic, symbolic themes linking to their characters. Ortega's stylistic maturation was evident in her choice of outfits, blending elements from both Wednesday and Morticia Addams.
The inspiration for Zeta-Jones' outfits is less specifically detailed, but the parallel drew on the gothic style connected to Morticia Addams, embodying elegance and dark femininity. This aligns with the symbolic contrast and character dynamic between her and Ortega's Wednesday.
Four more episodes of "Wednesday" will be available on September 3, giving fans more opportunities to appreciate the fashion choices of its stars. The first season was a huge success for Netflix in 2022, and with the second season receiving positive reviews, it seems the gothic fashion trend will continue to captivate audiences.
The fashion choices of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jenna Ortega, two notable stars of the popular Netflix series "Wednesday," merge remarkably with their roles and the show's entertainment genre. Zeta-Jones emulates Morticia Addams' dark, feminine style in her tailored gothic outfits, while Ortega's wardrobe leans toward a mature, goth-inspired look, mirroring Wednesday Addams, but with a more adult twist.
