Morticia Addams is back on TV once again.
“We live in a hideous, ridiculous and deeply terrifying time where the angel of death seems to hover closer than ever before,” says Fox. “The solace of being goth is that you turn these morbid anxieties into a style which is simultaneously evil and hot.” It’s true, with the world in turmoil, there is a certain comfort to be found in the dark crevices of gothic fantasy. Which is why shows likeare proving to be so popular.
So, how does this new Morticia compare to the original? Frankly, quite favourably. Though only in two episodes, Zeta-Jones’s presence is undeniable, a dark force of gothic glamour. Unlike Myers’s designs, however, which were much stricter in their structure, the show’s costume designer, , wanted something more modern for Mrs Addams. “Catherine’s costume is a rayon jersey and very slinky fabric, with inserts that are metallic and black twisted fabric to accent her curvy shape,” she tells. “The costume started with a corset to give a more exaggerated body shape. We then added godets on the sleeves and hem, slightly shredded for a goth effect.”
For inspiration, Atwood looked to Charles Addams’s original cartoons instead of Huston. Another point of difference is the choice of lip and nail colour, with Zeta-Jones eschewing Huston’s classic red for a vampier rouge noir. “I think this Morticia represents a loving parent seen through an entirely unexpected lens,” Atwood says. But Fox is not convinced: “Catherine Zeta-Jones has more of a wholesome ‘mom’ vibe, which unsettles me.
Nonetheless, with the hunt for the perfect party dress coming into sharper focus as the festive season gets underway, and November’s icy temperatures calling for a warmer winter wardrobe, perhaps you might consider taking notes from the queen of darkness , by embracing your inner goth. As Morticia herself once said: “It’s dark, it’s depressing, it’s desolate. It’s a dream.”
