We wear black not only on Wednesdays: 5 reasons why you should watch the TV series “Wednesday” and dress in the spirit of the main character

She wears Alaïa, never smiles and always says what she thinks. She also hates social networks, writes novels on the typewriter and loves black she. His name is Wednesday Adams and he is the main character of the Netflix series of the same name, which was released digitally last week. And she has already managed to win the hearts of young people.

Morticia and Gomez’s only daughter is one of the sweetest and most charming misanthropes in the history of cinema, and her image has been reimagined over the 80 years since its inception. In the 1991 cult movie The Addams Family, Christina Ricci helped young people understand that it’s okay to be weird and “different.” And the new Wednesday proved that this is not only normal, but also very cool. Therefore, we will not be surprised if in a few weeks social networks are flooded with special homage to the image of the Addams daughter.

We were also inspired by the show and of course the style of the main character (believe me, there are a lot of interesting things), so we decided to make an article in which we put together five main reasons why you should watch the show. New Netflix project and outfit in the spirit of Wednesday. As a bonus, we have collected a number of products from Russian brands that will please.

Complo

Imagine a place in the world where werewolves, sirens, gorgons, vampires and other characters with magical abilities work. Wednesday Addams is sent there after being expelled from a regular school once again. There he begins to investigate a series of mysterious murders, gets to know the school’s students, and proves with every move he makes that the main thing is to be cool and not be afraid of other people’s opinions.

team members

Another good thing about the show is the cast. The role of the main character went to Jenna Ortega, whom you can see in the series “You”, in the films “Scream”, “X” and “Best View”. The headmaster was played by Gwendoline Chrissy aka Brienne of Tarth and Catherine Zeta-Jones played Morticia. But that’s not all. While watching the movie “Wednesday” you will meet young and very talented actors. We will not spoil, but there are some really interesting things.

same dance

One of the highlights of the show is the dance she attended in a black Alaïa dress at Wednesday’s school ball. But we’ll touch on that later, now let’s focus on the dance itself. We are sure that in a few years the scene has acquired a cult title. Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega composed the choreography herself. So the series is worth watching at least for that reason.

style

Now let’s move on to the most important thing that our fashion department fell in love with a gloomy girl named Wednesday. She wears rough platform boots (you immediately recognize Dr. Martens Jadon in them), loves maxi skirts, and dresses with sharp necklines that look more dramatic than naive. He even dyed his school uniform, a blue and white striped suit, black.

The series was styled by costume designer Colleen Atwood, who has worked on Sleepy Hollow, Fantastic Beasts, Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and more. He recently gave an interview to American Harper’s Bazaar Atwood and talked about working with black: “If you take black and add a slightly different hue to it, it’s a more saturated black when it’s lit, it doesn’t fall into this dark hole.”

That’s why Wednesday images are never completely black. In one scene we see her in a white collar dress, in another a black sweater with white checks, and black and gray stripes appear on her school uniform.

But Atwood’s achievements don’t end there. Thanks to her, she wore an Alaïa dress to the Wednesday school ball. We saw it in the autumn-winter 2021 collection, which includes the brand’s redesigned archives.

So what convinced you that the show was really worth watching? We are sure yes. And now we offer to dress in the style of the main character. We have collected 10 things from Russian brands that Wednesday will definitely like.
