Why everyone loves Wednesday Addams’ black dress – and where to buy one that looks like New Year’s Eve

If you say you haven’t heard of the new series on Netflix, then we’re not going to believe it – they’re talking about it all the time and everywhere! Even with a strong desire not to look at the beautiful Jenna Ortega (although where would such a desire come from? The actress is a talent!), you still would not have succeeded: all social networks are full of fan videos in which bloggers rehearse the sensational Wednesday dance. Yes, what is there to hide, we ourselves have been singing for many days I will dance-dance-dance with my hands – not a song, but a real virus!

But, of course, even before we started learning the famous dance, we fell in love with Alaïa’s luxurious black dress – it also became an Internet hit within hours of the series’ release. Costume designer Colleen Atwood made her heroine’s wardrobe surprisingly accurate and at the same time not banal: if the black striped school uniform was quite expected, then the flying chiffon dress was a great and wonderful surprise.

Agree, the image of a complex teenage Wednesday is rarely associated with ruffles and translucent smoky fabric, but no – Jenna looked simply charming in this designer find, but at the same time also confident and proud than in a traditional black jacket. There may not be enough words to describe this set: just look (for the umpteenth time) how the feminine dress underlined the rebellious character of Wednesday!

As you understand, we are completely delighted, therefore, after the first viewing of the series, we have firmly decided: for the New Year we will try to get the same outfit – or at least similar to it. Our meticulous raid of showrooms, stores and boutiques has paid off: discover a selection of chiffon and organza dresses in dramatic black and pastel mint tones. Don’t forget to turn on the song The Cramps, which played in the series, during the fitting – and, believe me, you’ll feel like the main character!
