Netflix's ‘Wednesday' Season Two Press Tour: All the Best Hair and Makeup Moments
With the help of makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis, Ortega fell victim to her character, Wednesday's, draconian ego through the juxtaposition of plum-stained lips and bleached brows. Meanwhile, Zeta-Jones, Sunday and Myers have followed suit, positioning the lip as the color of choice for the forthcoming spooky season. The hair hasn't been as consistent. In fact, the styles have oscillated between dramatic extensions, protruding buns and messy waves.

Ahead, WWD breaks down all the best beauty looks from the 'Wednesday' press tour.
For the London premiere of 'Wednesday' season two, the first stop on the press tour, Ortega pared back her fashion to match the naked aesthetic of her bleached eyebrows. With no defining brow shape, the 22-year-old actress and her makeup artist, Inglessis, accentuated her bone structure with faded blush under her cheeks and mauve shadow circling her eyes, creating the illusion of two black eyes.
Enlarged freckles added to the theatrics of the look, tickling her nose on top of her stained lips. Ortega's bottom lashes clung together like long spider legs, while dark brown extensions were knotted halfway down her low ponytail by hair artist Cesar Deleon Ramirez.
Zeta-Jones morphed into her character, Morticia Addams, at the London premiere last week with Gothic glam constructed by Brett Freedman. Together, the two replaced bronzy makeup with rusty, charcoal tones, and, of course, plum. Zeta-Jones' brown eyes shrunk next to the heavy shadow reaching all the way to her brow bone.
Unlike Morticia, Zeta-Jones and Freedman worked to bring color into her base, forgoing the signature ghostlike visage akin to the entire Addams family. The actress opted for a perfectly rounded bun on the top of her head to allow the silver and gold cage earrings locking her ears to show.
Myers, the talent behind Wednesday's roommate, Enid Sinclair, in the show, conversely, kept a pasty, pale visage, drawing attention to her deep plum lipstick.
Gold shimmer eye shadow breathed air into her otherwise blank countenance, while her side fringe framed her face. Myers worked with makeup architect Dana Delaney and hair artist Hiroki Kojima on the look.
Sunday, the actress who plays Bianca Barclay in the series, shot the cameras a death stare outside the London premiere last week. Under her red porkpie hat, Sunday's eyes were dressed in forest green shadow, while her parted lips were painted in a purple matte shade. The green hues dragged across her lash line and in her waterline stood out next to her red knit ensemble.
Ortega chameleoned into a hybrid version of Wednesday Addams for the Paris premiere of 'Wednesday' season two. Rather than playing with the achromatic aesthetic of the terrifying teenager, Ortega and Inglessis focused on nude, earth tones.
Ortega's hair extensions were removed and her eye makeup was toned-down, which gave way to her effortlessly exhausted countenance.
Like a whisper in the morning, Ortega strode down the New York City street to 'Good Morning America' on Monday under a black porkpie hat and straightened extensions. Only the right side of her face was visible beneath the wide-brimmed accessory and the Dezi Sly cat-eye sunglasses, and because most of her visage was hidden from the naked eye, her face makeup was kept to a minimum, even her lips.
Outside the 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' studio in New York City, Ortega leaned into the Gothic, 'tired girl' beauty trend she inspired once more. This time, she used a kaleidoscope of purple, white, silver and gray hues to hollow out her eyes under her barely-there eyebrows.
Ortega kept her elongated hair from earlier in the morning, only this time she added stretched waves. Freckles still dotted her nose like a constellation, while her cheeks were void of bronzer and blush. Her lips, on the other hand, introduced rosy color to the even-toned base.

10 Iconic Live Music Spots in Manchester for Peak '90s Nostalgia
As appealing as Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are, it's hard to imagine die-hard fans of either artist becoming pawns in a pan-media class war anytime soon. Wind back three decades and the music scene, in the UK at least, was an infinitely more tribal place. Manchester and London, and their most venerated musical exports, became the hub of a vitriolic and, in retrospect, utterly bizarre period where your musical tastes became a definer of your social class. As the frothing tabloids framed it, Oasis were the authentic northern rabble rousers while Blur were the Southern pretty boys, and it made everyone involved a huge amount of money. Now Oasis are reuniting, though Blur got there first with their two gigs at Wembley two summers ago. And while London suffers from an evisceration of its clubbing and nightlife scene, Manchester seems to be handling the changing nocturnal habits of music lovers a little more resolutely. I grew up in Cheshire, just 40 minutes away from Manchester by train. And I've danced (appallingly) in the Hacienda, bought Stone Roses posters in Afflecks and even gone to see Blur live on enemy territory (aka the Manchester Academy)—albeit in 1994 when Oasis were still a year away from global, ubiquitous fame. Manchester is still a city that moves to its own distinctively stubborn, uncontrollable, wide-eyed shuffle, but is no less captivating for a visit than it was in the days when Ian Curtis was contorting himself on stage or when Ian Brown was laconically shaking his maracas. Below, I've rounded up my favorite Mancunian music spots, past and present. Morrissey may have stated not long ago that 'diversity means conformity'. But it's unlikely that he's spent much time at the Band on the Wall – for my money, the most eclectically interesting and user-friendly gig venue in Manchester – of late. Formerly known as the George and Dragon, musicians in the early days of live gigs being held here were forced to play on a stage built halfway up the pub's wall, designed to create more floor space for drinkers. Hence, the venue's current name and back history includes concerts by the Buzzcocks, the Fall and Joy Division. These days, the venue is a one-stop counterargument to the idea that every young musician in Manchester is still attempting to become a clone of Noel Gallagher. At the Wall, you'll hear world music, experimental dance, jazz and many sub-genres that have yet to be classified by what remains of the local music press.

Meet teenage phenom EvanTheArtist, cleat customizer to MLB superstars
After his batting practice at Citi Field one day in early June, Starling Marte headed toward the warning track. He usually comes over to greet fans who are waiting for autographs and photos. This time, he spotted a familiar face in the crowd. Evan Taveras, known on social media as EvanTheArtist, smiled and dapped up Marte. In his hands, the 15-year-old held a custom pair of cleats for the outfielder, which were decorated with paintings of the Dominican Republic flag and Goku from the popular anime 'Dragon Ball Z.' Written on the back of the shoe was 'All-Star dad.' Advertisement This was not the first time Taveras had given Marte custom artwork. The two first met back in 2022, when Taveras, then a fan, gifted Marte a portrait he made of the two-time All-Star. This time, Major League Baseball had commissioned Taveras to paint those cleats for Marte as a Father's Day gift. Though he began creating custom works just a few years ago, Tevaras' reputation as an artist has spread quickly throughout the sports and sneaker world. The young Long Islander has decked out shoes and other apparel for athletes such as Marte, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and pro boxer Amanda Serrano while also collaborating with brands like Foot Locker and organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation. 'I never thought that it would get this big,' Taveras said, 'and I'm super honored to have these opportunities to work with these big athletes and have them showcase my work.' Primarily self-taught, Taveras' work ranges from realistic portraits of athletes and their families to pop culture references expressed with a rich color palette. Taveras has been drawing for as long as he can remember. He trained himself and learned his own style by studying YouTube artists like ZHC and Marko, two of his earliest inspirations. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, his best friend wanted a custom pair of sneakers. But at the time, he had never worked on a canvas quite like a shoe. 'If you mess those up, that's on you,' Evan's mother and manager, Melissa Taveras, told him when he asked for a brand new pair of sneakers. However, Melissa's skepticism soon disappeared once she saw the results. The customized Nike Air Max sneakers that her then-9-year-old son created with markers garnered attention after the family posted photos on social media. Before long, many people were inquiring about how to get their own pair, and Melissa had to create a waitlist. 'That's when I realized this could be really big,' Evan said, 'and I could do so much more if I really wanted to.' Taveras, now equipped with paint and other tools, began to grow in popularity online. And before long, he developed a work routine that would serve him for years. It starts with the request from the customer. They'd tell Taveras the shoe they want customized, their shoe size, and what type of designs they want on it. Taveras would then purchase the shoes. Once they arrived, he'd begin the preparation process of cleaning, sanding, sketching and painting. Advertisement Once he's done, he uses a final coating of sealant to give the shoes a premium, factory-like finish. In all, the process takes anywhere from two to four weeks to complete. He does this all at his workstation, which is located in a den that overlooks the family's backyard. On the right side of his desk are various knickknacks and collectibles representative of his passions and culture: A baseball helmet with a Puerto Rican flag to represent his heritage, a Bob Ross Funko Pop, a Mets trivia book. Furthest to the right lies a daily inspiration. A poster board filled with photos of some of his biggest moments and favorite designs he's made over his career. It is a reminder of how far he's come, but it is also a constant motivator for Taveras. His craftsmanship and skill eventually caught the eye of Kids Foot Locker. The American footwear retailer contracted Taveras for a holiday collaboration to create shoes that would be the prize for giveaways. The partnership gave Taveras a nationwide stage to display his talents as a pre-teen. Then, MLB came calling. In 2022, Taveras was invited to Los Angeles for MLB All-Star Week to paint cleats as part of an exhibition at the 'Play Ball Park' event. He's been invited back to every All-Star Week since. A year after his first ASW appearance, Taveras received his first commission for custom cleats from a player — a pair for former MLB pitcher Adonis Medina that included portraits of his two children. Later on, Tavares made cleats for Pete Alonso, his favorite Met. During Alonso's first at-bat in the cleats, he went yard. One of Taveras' biggest opportunities came through an Instagram story by Chisholm. The Yankees' second baseman tagged Taveras after seeing his work and wanted to collaborate with him. Chisholm was looking for custom cleats leading up to the 2024 postseason to go alongside his gear. Taveras delivered. Advertisement 'It just perfectly matched everything,' Chisholm said. 'I didn't even think anybody would have even been able to do that with just the stuff that he works with.' Taveras has since become Chisholm's go-to guy for custom cleats. To start the season, Chisholm debuted a pair inspired by the popular anime 'One Piece.' The cleats went viral on social media. While Taveras loves creating art and the process behind it, one of his biggest motivations is being able to give back to those in need. The philanthropy stems from his love for his 13-year-old brother, Max, who has cerebral palsy, and serves as one of his life's inspirations. Every March for the last five years, Taveras has hosted a fundraiser where he paints a custom pair of shoes for a raffle. The money raised is used to pay for children with cerebral palsy to get intensive therapy that they otherwise would not be able to afford. Just this year alone, the fundraiser helped to provide $10,000 worth of treatment for children at a facility in Long Island. Taveras has also painted shoes for an auction for the Jazz Chisholm Foundation. The proceeds went to support children in underserved communities with a passion for baseball. Despite his success at such a young age, when he's at school, he's not EvanTheArtist, he's just Evan. Even his art teacher didn't know that he was customizing shoes for some of the biggest names in sports. Still, word gets out about his talents, particularly through his friends. When his travel ball team found out, his teammates started telling the opposing squad that they had a celebrity on their team. And Taveras' teammates often request their own set of customized kicks. 'You gotta get in contact with my mom,' he tells them. While Taveras has accomplished a lot in his young career, he isn't satisfied yet. He dreams of growing his following and expanding his business. That means getting bigger names on his waitlist. (The ultimate dream, however, is to one day suit up for the Mets.) But while he's working on his dreams, he is also making time to help inspire the next generation. Near the end of the school year at P.S. 376 in Brooklyn, the school hosts a career day for the kids inside the gymnasium. In the room are teachers, firefighters and police officers, among many other professions, who are stationed to provide insight into their day-to-day work. As students filter in, they gravitate toward the jobs that they had envisioned themselves in and thought were the most exciting. Advertisement All the way in the furthest corner of the gym of this year's event was Taveras, who had graduated from the elementary school just a few years earlier. On his table were cleats he customized from All-Star Games and other events. Toward the left end of the table was the posterboard of his achievements he keeps at his workstation. Before he knew it, he was swarmed by curious students as he gave a live demonstration painting a cleat. They asked questions, watched with intent, and some even got the chance to add a few strokes of paint with Taveras' guidance. The day represented a full-circle moment for the young artist. Outside of those he followed on YouTube, he didn't have anyone he looked up to who was readily accessible to him growing up, let alone someone so close in age. He was able to not only show the students his art but also be a real-life example of where art can take them. Taveras has been able to attend some of the biggest events in sports, speak with all-world athletes and fundraise for those in need, all because of his artistic talent. But what has been most fulfilling and surprising to him was the reaction the students had to his work at that career day. 'I never thought I would be inspiring other kids,' Taveras said. '(They) loved the work, and they said they wanted to be like me when they grew up.' (Top photo courtesy of Melissa Taveras) Spot the pattern.
