So how do the Addamses end up at a Venetian period gala? “My character Morticia has helped on the fundraising committee, which she is very proud of,” Catherine Zeta-Jones explains, “so she’s making it an extravaganza like no other extravaganza.” Atwood and Sutherland took note: “The motivation in our design was ‘What would Morticia have done?’” Atwood says. “Obviously, with Tim, we tend to go to the Victorian Era just because it’s a known comfort zone for him.”
Atwood took inspiration from Oscar Wilde—namely, the poet’s humor and wit—for Wednesday’s gala costume. “It’s almost like a men’s tailored waistcoat,” she says of the top, also worn with a romantic silk tulle shirt. But Atwood decided to make the bottom of the dress grander to go tête-à-tête with the other costumes in the room. “She toes a great line of always being feminine but there’s something about her that is occasionally masculine,” Ortega says. “She balances androgyny pretty well.”
