Catherine Zeta-Jones Channels Morticia Addams in Sharp Pumps and Black Dresses for Wednesday Season 2 Press Tour

After making a guest appearance in season one, Catherine Zeta-Jones is back as Morticia Addams in the second season of Wednesday! I have to say, she’s such a perfect fit for the role, as she effortlessly embodies Morticia’s dark elegance!

For her recent press tour, Catherine stepped out in a series of gorgeous ensembles that flawlessly encapsulated her character’s gothic vibe without appearing too costume-y. She mixed subtle method dressing with her signature glamour, pulling off looks that were chic yet true to herself.

Let’s take a closer look at her Morticia Addams-inspired black ensembles!

Embodying Morticia Addams: Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Gothic Elegance in Alberta Ferretti

Arriving at the Paris Theatre for the Wednesday Season 2 premiere, Catherine Zeta-Jones fully embraced Morticia Addams in a head-to-toe black Alberta Ferretti Fall 2025 look.

She wore a single-breasted blazer, cut with clean, elongated lines that skimmed her frame. It had silk shawl lapels that added a subtle sheen, instantly elevating the ensemble’s all-black palette. It also featured a plunging neckline that brought a touch of seductive elegance, offering enough skin to contrast with the outfit’s darkness.

Embracing one of the most enduring trends over the years, Catherine wore nothing underneath her blazer, adding to the sultriness of the look.

Rather than wearing typical trousers, Catherine chose flowing, sheer pants that I honestly thought were a maxi skirt at first glance. As she walked, the lightweight fabric swayed gracefully, offering a glimpse of her toned legs. I wasn’t surprised by this blazer-and-sheer-bottom combination, as it’s become a go-to formula of stars like Charlize Theron.

Elevating the look further, Catherine topped the ensemble with a dramatic ruffle-trimmed silk chiffon duster cape that cascaded into a sweeping train. The outfit was dark and gothic without straying into costume territory.

When it came to accessories, Catherine stayed true to her Morticia Addams agenda. She wore sleek, narrow sunglasses that added an air of mystery and went with minimal jewelry, opting for pieces by Fiametta and EFFY Jewelry. A long pendant necklace drew further attention to her decolletage, while a few rings added just the right amount of glitz to her all-black look.

Rounding out her gothic ensemble, Catherine opted for classic black pumps. Though timeless in style, their sharply pointed toes added extra sleekness to the look, and the high heels gave her just enough lift.

A Blooming Twist on Morticia-Inspired Style: Catherine Zeta-Jones in Yanina Couture and Red Casadei Pumps

Zeta-Jones served up another eye-catching outfit earlier in the day when she was spotted outside the Good Morning America studios ahead of her appearance on the show. While she stuck to the black color scheme, she deviated from Morticia Addams’ signature head-to-toe darkness, adding a subtle twist with floral detailing.

Catherine’s ensemble hailed from Yanina Couture’s Spring 2023 collection. It featured a sleek black blazer with tonal front buttons, notched lapels, and a plunging neckline. The intricate embroidery of red poppies and green stems adorning the peplum and long sleeves made this jacket stand out. It offered a subtle yet striking contrast against the black fabric, adding a touch of softness to the otherwise sleek, monochromatic outfit.

Catherine paired it with a matching pencil skirt that echoed the same floral design, with the bright red poppies flowing seamlessly from the peplum down to the ankle-length hem. This created the illusion of a single, tailored dress!

These poppies aren’t just mere decorations; they’re a subtle nod to Morticia Addams, who famously loves gardening but prefers to snip the buds off the roses. Catherine, however, put her spin on that, allowing the flowers to bloom freely across her dress.

Catherine added a touch of sparkle with carefully chosen accessories, including delicate hoop earrings and a mix of gold rings that tied in perfectly with the dark yet elegant theme of her ensemble. She also wore a pair of sleek black sunnies, which enhanced her Morticia-like enigmatic charm.

Rounding out her look were the Casadei “Superblade” pumps in a bold, bright red. It was a daring choice that complemented the red floral embroidery of her outfit nicely. The Superblade, which debuted as part of the brand’s Fall 2023 collection, added to Casadei’s iconic Blade shoe family, known for its sleek, architectural silhouette.

Catherine’s Superblade pumps were crafted from shiny patent leather, giving them a mirror-like sheen that instantly captures attention. Their elongated, razor-sharp, pointed toes added a fierce, futuristic edge, while the 4-inch hardened steel stiletto heels offered height and attitude!

These pumps are available in multiple colors, but the bold red was an obvious choice for Catherine’s look!
