McDonald also opted to keep the side pieces of Ortega’s bangs.

Since the 20-year-old star came to set with “sort of grown-out bangs,” McDonald tells Elite Daily they chose to lean into the bangs, but cut them shorter to make the character’s overall look more contemporary. And a British icon.Īccording to Tara McDonald, the hair and makeup designer for Netflix’s Wednesday, she and director Tim Burton discussed the ways in which they could differentiate Ortega’s Wednesday from Christina Ricci’s Wednesday, a role she originated in the classic 1991 film The Addams Family. But Jenna Ortega’s dark alter ego didn’t achieve her enviable looks all on her own. Her soft goth glam makeup is a total serve, her fashion is equal parts spooky and chic, and her braid tutorials - including Wednesday’s Rave’N dance hair - have upwards of 7.7 million views on TikTok. For someone who prefers to sharpen hatchets instead of bury them, Wednesday Addams has an impeccable (albeit twisted) sense of style one that #beautyTok is trying to emulate.
