The Irish designer's long-sleeve piece included a rounded neckline. Melendez paired the bodysuit with a black skirt featuring a tiered design and contrasting fabric, heightening the Gothic and dark glamour inspiration behind the look. A low-rise belted element with a padlock and key was among the details featured in the overall sartorial statement.
Ortega's look featured minimal jewelry pieces, opting for delicate rings and a choker necklace. The look was complete with sheer black tights and patent leather mary janes. The actress' hair was styled with Y2K punk inspiration courtesy of Cesar Deleon Ramirez. Ortega's makeup was done by Mélanie Inglessis.
Rocha described her spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted as part of London Fashion Week in September 2024, as 'a bit more intimate, interesting, and playful.' Figgis' painting, titled 'Lady with a Bird,' featured on the bodysuit as the fifth look in the collection.
'It was a pivotal collection for Rocha, who deflated her signature billowing silhouettes, swapping them for soft, sometimes shiny layers of fabric and knits in a palette that ranged from muted pink to blood red and black — just like those strange, rare swans,' Hikmat Mohammed wrote in WWD's review of the collection.
Figgis' fashion collaborations extend beyond her partnership with compatriot Rocha. The artist's work, which saw a meteoric rise thanks to social media in the 2010s, previously inspired Marc Jacobs' spring 2019 collection. 'It's like anything can happen in the world and it's truly about you believing that it can happen, and I was totally open to that,' Figgis said at a dinner in her honor back in 2017.
'Wednesday' follows Wednesday Addams (Ortega) upon her return to Nevermore and her quest to unravel a haunting mystery. Part One of 'Wednesday' Season Two is currently streaming on Netflix. Part Two of the season debuts on Sept. 3.

Beyoncé Is Now Halfway To An EGOT
Beyoncé has won her first Primetime Emmy Award, collecting one of the biggest honors in entertainment, and taking another step toward the coveted EGOT status. The superstar earns the trophy for her work as a credited costume designer on her Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl. She wins in the category of Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming. She shares the honor with Shiona Turini, Erica Rice and Molly Peters, Chelsea Staebell, and Timothy White. Beyoncé Bowl's Emmy Win The now-Emmy-winning special doubled as halftime show during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans football game that took place on December 25, 2024. The short program featured the first live performances of tracks from her 2024 album Cowboy Carter, which went on to win the Album of the Year Grammy. Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, Shaboozey, and Post Malone joined her on the field for the event to showcase a number of tunes from her critically-acclaimed set. Beyoncé Still Up for Two More Emmy Awards This could be just the beginning of Beyoncé's Emmy wins this year. She's still in the running for two more trophies for Beyoncé Bowl — Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, both of which will be handed out September 6–7 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. A Long List of Past Emmy Nominations Beyoncé has previously racked up multiple Emmy nods, this is the first time she's turned one into a win. Her 2019 concert documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé earned her four nominations, Lemonade snagged her two, and she was also recognized for On the Run Tour: Beyoncé and Jay-Z and her Super Bowl Halftime Show. She even earned a Daytime Emmy nomination with her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson. Until now, every bid had come up short. Halfway to an EGOT With an Emmy secured, Beyoncé is halfway to EGOT status — the rare distinction of winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. She already holds a record 35 Grammy Awards and earned an Academy Award nomination for best original song for 'Be Alive' from King Richard in 2022.

Netflix is taking its fight with Disney to a new arena
Netflix is taking its fight with Disney to hallowed ground: family-friendly sing-alongs. Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters" is briefly coming to select movie theaters as a sing-along event, in a new challenge to the Mouse House. Fans of "Kpop Demon Hunters" and its popular soundtrack can see the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X on the big screen when the smash-hit film hits theaters in the US and Canada on August 23 and 24, Netflix said on Tuesday. The animated flick has become Netflix's fourth-most-watched movie ever since its mid-June debut. It set records by hitting a new viewership peak six weeks after its debut and narrowly missed achieving that feat again in its seventh week. "KPop Demon Hunters" owes some of its success to its chart-topping soundtrack. One of the movie's original songs, "Golden," is the No. 1 track on Billboard's Hot 100 rankings this week, and the full setlist is currently the second most popular album in the world. press release. Netflix can take on Disney without changing its tune on theaters Putting "KPop Demon Hunters" on big screens is an intriguing move for Netflix, which has often given theaters the cold shoulder. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in April that putting movies exclusively in theaters for months is "an outdated concept," Variety reported. However, Netflix has experimented with theaters, such as by giving "Knives Out 2" a limited theatrical release in 2022 and promising to give big-screen time to Greta Gerwig's forthcoming movie based on "The Chronicles of Narnia." "KPop Demon Hunters" has already moved from a hit to a cultural phenomenon, and creating a limited-edition event may further fuel interest on Netflix and for the soundtrack. Putting "Kpop Demon Hunters" in theaters, even for only two days, suggests that Netflix is set on making its biggest animated film ever a full-blown franchise. Netflix is also encroaching on what's long been Disney's territory: animated family-friendly movies with catchy songs. Disney's most recent swing in original animation, "Elio," underwhelmed at the box office despite strong reviews. Pixar's latest film grossed just shy of $150 million worldwide, and its budget was at least that much, The Hollywood Reporter said. However, "Elio" could get a second wind on Disney+. Netflix placing "KPop Demon Hunters" in theaters may not mean it's rethinking its broader movie strategy, but it does signify that it's trying to take Disney's bread and butter.
