Wednesday UK Premiere

Jenna Ortega in Ashi Studio

Jessica recently wondered if anyone would wear Ashi to the Emmys; Jenna Ortega did not even make her wait that long. She made this substantially less areola-forward than the runway version, but it's still a glorified faux-snakeskin body condom.

Am I looking at her sweat under this...? The makeup certainly feels macabre, at least. It's honestly shades of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice -- like a stepped-up version. And it's all the Tim Burton family, so that tracks.

From the back, it's a little alien. I have to hand it to her -- it's dramatic, it's striking, it's memorable. And she wears "post-apocalyptic alien priestess" well.

"Oh, darling. Are you quite sure? I have a cardi in the limo."

This also feels very on-brand, but the wispy bits don't do a lot for me.

Emma Myers

Elizabethan ice skaters had a very real fear of being beheaded if they didn't land their jumps. Or even maybe if they did.

Now THIS,I find delightful. It pushes against the darkness of Wednesday while also being plenty dramatic in its own right. She looks like an Edwardian shit-stirrer, and that is a compliment.

Joanna Lumley

Patsy Stone plays Wednesday's grandmother. I actually rather enjoy this casting idea, I think she looks great, and I hope she and Wednesday cut Morticia out a little and hare off on their own adventures.

Billie Piper

This photo was captioned "Fred Armisen." Billie Piper might not love THAT. And I don't love her chest laces. No one wins! Well, except maybe Fred Armisen.

Luis Guzman

I can't exactly put my finger on my issue with this choices, but... I think... I THINK it's that his performance sounds at times like he is doing whatever Tracy Morgan would do, but without the history of insanity.

Isaac Ordonez

OMG. Pugsley looks like a little Beetlejuice action figure.

Georgie Farmer

This is some very preppy hair. I can see him pulling off a football helmet and shaking it out, and running his hand through it.

Frances O'Connor

This is very nice! If you made Wednesday wear ruffles, she'd choose this.

Oliver Watson

Bless him but this looks like he's just been shot.

Noah Taylor

He looks like he's in a community theater production of Phantom, where they just sort of... make whatever size costume work.

Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo

She plays the sheriff's deputy. I am in a weird place with this outfit where I don't ever love a full leather harness, but I also think without it this would be shapeless.

Joonas Suotamo

Imagine being both Lurch AND Chewbacca. His post-basketball career is getting him a lot of residuals.

Steve joins as the new principal. Welcome to the Addamsverse, fellow kid.
