Inside 'Wednesday' Season 2 closet crafting iconic monochrome costumes

Netflix’s macabre darling, Wednesday Addams, is not that girl, as all know, being an outcast among outcasts, catching attention without trying to, clad in all black and white.

After the breakout of Jenna Ortega’s peculiar character, some fans might have thought of a potential change in Wednesday’s dressing.

However, she doesn’t entertain the ideas of “personal evolution,” so there should always be fewer expectations of switch-ups or drastic changes in Wednesday’s personality.

“We kept her in her monochrome world,” says Academy Award–winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, who also led costuming last season. “She isn’t a person who’s obsessed with clothes or thinks about them. She’s a very unconscious dresser.”

Despite that, Wednesday’s monochrome aura has become a centre of attention after she became the popular outcast on campus.

Therefore, the designer has put a change in her signature look, but she remained poised.

“We elevated it without making the look too ‘fashion’ because she’s not that girl,” says Mark Sutherland, co-costume designer this season.

However, as Wednesday has much more to explore this season as a supernatural murder-mystery detective, there’s a new addition to her daily uniform.

“I’ve got a really cool ’60s detective coat on for a majority of the season that cuts off,” says Jenna Ortega. “It has that flap all around, from the arms up. It looks pretty cool. Colleen Atwood and Mark Sutherland were very excited when we saw this coat.”
