Catherine Zeta-Jones Updates Morticia Addams' Haunting Makeup for ‘Wednesday' Season Two Premiere in London
Akin to the pasty visage of the original Charles Addams characters, Zeta-Jones' base was, for the most part, void of bronzer. In fact, Freedman pared down many products on her visage, starting with skin care. 'Zeta-Jones doesn't have sensitive skin, but I like to keep her skin prep simple but uber hydrating,' Freedman told WWD over a phone call from London.

The only products he used on her base were Cactus Comfort Moisturizer by Farmhouse Fresh, Aleph's foundation and concealer in shade 2.0 and Mac Blot Powder.
Bringing in some rusty orange tones to steer clear of a ghost-like countenance, Freedman placed Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in shade 42 on her cheeks, a secret ingredient in his recipe for glass skin veneer. That same icy finish was mirrored on the rest of the her body using the Whoopie Cream Shea Butter followed by the Golden Gleam Serum by Farmhouse Fresh. 'Zeta-Jones was showing so much skin I wanted to amp up the light catching shine, but not get too slick or bronzed. Golden Gleam is skin care, but it's also an amazing luminizer for the face and body,' Freedman said.
Opting to use draconian eye shadow was a no-brainer for Freedman and Zeta-Jones. 'It's definitely a rounder smoke,' he said of the shadow placement, but a smoky eye no less. The bold hues were courtesy of Makeup by Mario's Master Mattes Palette, and the eyeliner was Victoria Beckham's Satin Kajal Liner in bronze. 'I wanted to glisten up her lash line,' Freedman explained of the liner choice. 'This pencil has the creamiest slide; it's like a precision cream shadow.'
Her lashes, comprised of Ardell's Naked Lash number 421 and Lash Clusters, intentionally mimicked long, spiky spider legs, complementing the diamond cages over her ears. For the lip, Freedman and Zeta-Jones settled on a deep plum shade, one as equally hypnotic as the colors on her eyes. 'For Catherine, this is definitely out of the box for her, but also feels right in a strange way,' Freedman said.
The theatricality of her Gothic aesthetic is something Zeta-Jones and Freedman felt they had more freedom to explore for this press tour as compared to the press for Season One in 2022. 'I will say for the first season, they were like, 'Oh, you know, nothing too Goth.' She (Zeta-Jones) didn't want to look like Morticia. She had lightened up her hair a touch, and was doing tons of waves. We were making her a little bronzy, just doing anything to lighten it up and have a little separation,' Freedman noted.
The slicked-back bun on top of her head, designed by stylist Maranda Widlund, was really a way for Zeta-Jones to 'give the eye a rest,' as Freedman put it. Her black halter-neck Stéphane Rolland gown, embellished with loose sheer fabrics circling her body midair, was styled by Kelly Johnson.
'Wednesday' Season Two, Part One is scheduled to release on Netflix on Aug. 6.

5 best dark thriller movies to stream on Netflix
I love the thriller genre, but have a particular soft spot for dark thrillers. These movies, which often incorporate horror elements, explore bleak situations, humanity at its most savage and disturbing violence. While none of the movies on this list could ever be considered 'light entertainment,' if you're looking for a thriller that will give you chills, have you wincing in shock at the hardship endured by their lead characters and are packed full of unexpected twists, these five are essential. Plus, all of them are available on the world's biggest streaming service, Netflix. From a twisting trip that explores the dangers of obsession to a period piece that proves not all miracles are what they appear, these are the five best dark thrillers on Netflix worth watching right now. One of Netflix's biggest international success stories, you may have heard of 'The Platform' before. It's a streaming original that deserves its level of reputation and recognition because it pairs together an intriguing sci-fi idea with a fascinating exploration of human nature, and for those just after a descent into some savage place, you'll find exactly what you're craving. 'The Platform' is set in a future prison that is comprised of a series of individual levels arranged in a seemingly never-ending tower block. Every day, a concrete platform of food is slowly lowered down the block, with the people at the top eating like royalty, and those down below left with only scraps. We focus on a man named Goreng (Iván Massagué) as he attempts to survive this dystopian jail. I should also give a fair warning that you'll want to skip the movie snacks for this one, because several scenes will turn your stomach. Watch "The Platform" on Netflix now Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. While plenty of dark thrillers contain horror elements, 'The Ritual' is not one for viewers who can't tolerate the odd jump scare. This supernatural folk thriller is seriously spooky, but it's also rich with well-developed, if not always likable, characters. Plus, the eerie setting of the Swedish wilderness adds suspense and dread to the proceedings. Six months after the death of their friend in a robbery gone wrong, four middle-aged men reunite to hike through the Scandinavian mountains in their friend's memory. Making the foolish decision to step off the beaten path and take a 'shortcut' through the forest, they quickly become lost and believe that someone, or something, is stalking them. Just be sure to select the right movie. There's another movie called 'The Ritual' released earlier this year, which is a complete skip. Watch "The Ritual" on Netflix now The mark of a good dark thriller is when it makes you feel genuinely uneasy, and 'Calibre' does that often. This small-scale but intense movie had me sitting bolt upright on my sofa, and racking my own brain in an attempt to figure out how the two lead characters were going to get out of the terrifying predicament they find themselves in. "Calibre" is completely bone-chilling, and I love it. Vaughn (Jack Lowden) and Marcus (Martin McCann) are two childhood best friends traveling to the remote Scottish Highlands for a weekend away. The duo plan to go hunting, but while roaming the forest for game, they make a terrible mistake, and the consequences of their actions spiral completely out of control. Yes, that's an extremely vague plot write-up, but I'm deliberately holding my cards close to the chest, because 'Calibre' is best enjoyed with as little known ahead of time (I would even recommend skipping the trailer). Watch "Calibre" on Netflix now 'The Perfection' is one of the most skin-crawling dark thrillers I've ever seen. And I mean that quite literally, there's a highly disturbing sequence where a character believes bugs are bursting out of her arm. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, in this warped trip that goes to several bleak and very gruesome places. It's not a thriller movie for the faint of heart. Charlotte Willmore (Allison Williams) is a gifted cellist who is forced to leave her prestigious music academy to care for her sick mother. Returning to the fold after her mother's death, Charlotte meets Lizzie (Logan Browning), another musical prodigy, who has effectively replaced her as the star pupil and personal favorite of Anton (Steven Weber), the school's head. What follows is a nightmare ordeal for both of them, but I won't spoil any more, as there are plenty of surprising twists to discover. Watch "The Perfection" on Netflix now One of Florence Pugh's most overlooked movies, 'The Wonder,' is a period thriller based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Emma Donoghue. At its core is a compelling mystery, and as it progresses, the darker side of faith comes to the surface as Pugh's character, an English nurse named Elizabeth, struggles to convince the residents of a small Irish town that what they believe to be a miracle might not be quite what it seems. Elizabeth is sent to the rural village to monitor a young girl (Kíla Lord Cassidy) who, it is claimed, hasn't eaten in four months. Far from malnourished, the girl appears to be in good health and claims she is surviving by consuming 'manna from Heaven.' Despite her family's insistence that this is a miracle from above, Elizabeth seeks to discover the truth of the situation. 'The Wonder' is a slow-burn dramatic thriller anchored by a predictably strong turn from Pugh. Watch "The Wonder" on Netflix now

County Durham priest enlists TV's Dec to give parish announcement
A County Durham Catholic priest has enlisted award-winning TV presenter Declan Donnelly to make a parish announcement. Fr Marc Lyden-Smith shared a video on Sunday (August 10) of Dec, seen without on-screen partner Ant, announcing the mass times for his Seaham and Houghton-le-Spring parishes. Parishioners of St Michael's in Houghton-le-Spring and St Mary Magdalen's in Seaham were met with the recognisable tone of the I'm a Celebrity host who began his notice with: "Hi, Dec here!" "Just to remind you that mass is at nine and 11 with this guy," he added before panning the camera to Fr Lyden-Smith. The clergyman is no stranger to the TV cameras himself, after starring in every season of Netflix show 'Sunderland 'Til I Die', the documentary chronicling the fall and rise of Sunderland AFC and his role of club chaplain. However, Fr Lyden-Smith did have to clarify in his post that the earlier mass time was in fact 9.30am and not 9am as was previously stated and posted the caption "Don't forget to come to mass!" alongside the video. The funny video attracted comments from members of the public, with some of the churches' parishioners saying how much they enjoyed the reminder. "Best thing I've seen this morning," said Rachael Cuthbert.

Dec's brother, Fr Dermott Donnelly, was a Catholic priest in County Durham, with stints at churches in Consett and Stanley as well as Newcastle's Catholic cathedral, before his tragic death after a short illness at the age of 55 in 2022. He also established the Youth Ministry Trust, an outreach programme aimed at helping young people in the diocese's schools.
