Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán Deliver Goth Elegance at Netflix FYSEE Event
Netflix continues to engage fans even as anticipation builds for the potential 2025 premiere of Wednesday Season 2. Over the weekend, Jenna Ortega, alongside her on-screen parents Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, captivated attendees at Netflix’s FYSEE: The Fall Edit, creating what many are calling the most striking goth red carpet moment of the year.
The cast of Wednesday appears to have fully embraced “method dressing,” a practice Ortega has demonstrably mastered. Each actor opted for an all-black ensemble, staying true to the Addams family’s signature aesthetic. Zeta-Jones donned a stunning lace dress, described by one observer as the look Morticia Addams might favor if she were a 2014 Tumblr icon. Guzmán channeled “sad boy chic” with a sleek, long black overcoat, while Ortega herself embodied the spirit of Gomez Addams in a fitted pinstripe suit, completed with a black long-sleeve shirt and a statement cross chain.

To those who ever questioned Catherine Zeta-Jones’ portrayal of Morticia Addams, this red carpet appearance serves as a resounding rebuttal. While this iteration of the Addams family offers a unique interpretation, Zeta-Jones proves she is strikingly beautiful and perfectly embodies the gothic essence of the character.
One observer noted that Ortega consistently steals the show on any red carpet she graces. Her fashion choices are clearly a collaborative effort with her stylist, resulting in outfits that consistently suit her well. Despite her background as a former Disney child actor and her role as a teenager in Wednesday, Ortega has demonstrated a remarkably mature approach to fashion, a move that has garnered significant respect.
The event echoed a previous mother-daughter reunion at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, though Ortega’s look was markedly different. At the Emmys, the Scream VI actress wore a revealing patchwork top constructed from hanging jewels, a look that was equally impactful. Fashion clearly serves as a significant creative outlet for Ortega, allowing her to explore bold and expressive styles, whether or not she’s channeling her iconic character.
Ortega’s fashion successes weren’t limited to these high-profile events. During promotional appearances for the second season of Wednesday, she showcased a range of looks, including a punk-rock inspired clinging gray dress with back cutouts. The Season 2 premiere itself featured a more mature take on Wednesday Addams’ signature style – the smokey eye and all-black dress remained, but without the schoolgirl inspiration.
This recent FYSEE event may represent the final promotional push for Wednesday for the foreseeable future, and the outfits provided a fitting finale to a remarkable press tour. Given the cliffhanger ending of Season 2, fans were pleased to learn that Tim Burton’s adaptation has been renewed for a third season, promising more episodes and, undoubtedly, more opportunities for Ortega and her co-stars to showcase their goth-inspired style on the red carpet.
Stream both seasons of Wednesday now using a Netflix subscription.
