Here we woe again. At Nevermore Academy, class is back in session. The school break was longer than it usually is, but nothing works like it should in the world of Wednesday Addams. As we’ll have it, our favourite chaos crew of Outcasts have come back for more mayhem and mystery, bringing back its returning rotation of characters, amid new additions. For Season 2 of Wednesday, Tim Burton expands his imaginary world, bringing back his seminal cast, of Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guizmán, Emma Myers and Hunter Doohan—so we can all expect bloodletting hours ahead as we binge through the first four episodes of the second season.
To bring the full fantasy to life, a few facets have fallen into place. Like the incredible set of Nevermore, the eccentric characters and various types of species, and of course, the brilliant costuming and signature makeovers that have been done to transform the cast into their on-screen characters. Take Enid for example, which sees Myers adopt her signature rainbow-hued palette, but this time with a little more spunk and confidence—a showcase of how she’s grown into her own after finally being able to ‘wolf out’ towards the ending of Season 1. Then there’s Bianca high-shine pout, one she definitely carries from the first season, all the way through.
Yet it is the matriarchs of the Addams family that have really stolen our attention. There’s new face Joanna Lumley who plays Wednesday’s grandmother Hester Frump, a mortuary mogul with just the right amount of gothic sass—in part delivered through her wispy, towering updo. Then there is Morticia Addams herself; a divine soul of the shadows, with her sleek, lengthy black tresses, stark dove-like mien and vampy lips.
Behold, some of the best beauty looks from Wednesday Season 2 so far.
1 / 8
The queen of shadows
Morticia Addams will reign. Her silky black tresses set against those utterly defined cheekbones casts her in a regality like no other.
2 / 8
Summer glow-up
Post-school break and wolf camp, Enid returns to Nevermore that much more assured. That vivacious personality is going nowhere, and her signature rainbow-streaked blonde mane returns with a little more curls and bounce in them. Between her colourful manicure do and her inner eye corners enlivened with a magenta hue, there’s nothing that’s stopping her from being Wednesday’s ultimate side-kick again.
3 / 8
A throne of gray
The real besties of the show? Wednesday Addams and her grandmother, Hester Frump. Bonding with Wednesday over all things morbid and macabre, she is the very epitome of Outcast wisdom, wearing her years in a wispy, gravity-defying mane—pulled back and sculpted to reveal her own signature lip, a darker matted plum compared to the sharp, vampy lip of her own daughter, Morticia.

Like mother, like daughter
As she watches over her daughter, Morticia takes on the idea of camping out in the woods in style, bringing out her own brand of gothic. Top hat in tow, she pairs her motherly countenance with a pair of braids, much like the one that’s become a signature of her daughter’s.

The darkness awaits
As for the star of the show? Still allergic to most colours, she defines her eye line with dark shadows and wears a deep purple pout—still a far way from her own mother’s defined hue.
6 / 8
Hypnotic siren
Bianca Barclay is still very much in the know when it comes to what goes down at Nevermore, and the siren shows exactly how she can enchant the crowd with her signature blue eyes and high-shine pout.
7 / 8
Vampy close-up
Her sharp vampy lip a stark contrast to her pale mien, it’s her dark shadows that really steal the show, with her lengthy, volumised lashes.
8 / 8
Not quite an Addams
Wednesday has some major fans (and stalkers) ever since saving Nevermore, and Agnes wears it on her sleeve with her copycat braids. Yet her micro bangs are an auto tell, as she keeps the rest of her countenance kept minimal and natural.
