Catherine Zeta-Jones, 55, Causes a Stir in Backless Black Dress at the ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Premiere
At the “Wednesday” Season 2 premiere in London, the actress made a big impression with a bold design decision that immediately went viral on social media.
At the July 30, 2025, “Wednesday” Season 2 premiere in London, England, Catherine Zeta-Jones acted out the role of Morticia Addams. The actress paired a striking, backless black dress with thick, gothic-style makeup for the occasion.
At the premiere, the actress attracted attention with her daring outfit. Her dress had a thigh-high split, a sweeping train, tulle embellishments, and a bold chest cutaway that plunged to her belly.
The dress’s exquisite design was enhanced with the perfect amount of shine from the silver sequins that shimmered under the lights.
The “Chicago” actress complemented her dramatic outfit with a pair of enormous, hefty white gold rings and spider-like ear cuffs. She wore her long, characteristic jet-black hair in a sleek bun.
Longtime makeup artist Brett Freedman designed her dramatic makeup, channeling her role from the Tim Burton-produced Netflix series with dark, rusty tones from her lips to her eyebrows.
His stylist, Maranda Widlund, thought the actress’s daring gown looked great with the hair pulled back in a slicked-back bun.
Following Zeta-Jones’ stunning appearance, fans swiftly responded on social media with both compliments and condemnation.
“Oh my! One fan questioned, “What has she done to her face?””At whose funeral are they? [sic]” remarked a reviewer.
Others praised her glitzy look. “So cute. One admirer said, “Catherine looks fantastic.” “Zeta-Jones wow 😍😍,” exclaimed another. “What a lovely woman! “Michael is aware that he was fortunate,” a third fan wrote.
“Way too much makeup,” someone said. One reader went on to say, “She always looked Hispanic for some odd reason,” Others commended the actress for her outstanding appearance in spite of the criticism. Her fan extolled, “My Catherine oh my gosh 😍,”
Beyond her appearance on the red carpet, Zeta-Jones once opened up about her thoughts on aging and life as a fifty-year-old actress.
“The roles that are coming my way are different and more interesting,” she said. However, I have nothing against plastic surgery. In contrast to popular belief, I say, “I have not yet had surgery.
” If she ever decided to have plastic surgery, she said, it would be for herself and no one else.
Although the actress acknowledges that she has never had surgery, there have been times in the past when both admirers and detractors have pointed out that she may have had non-invasive facial procedures done.
Netizens couldn’t help but imply that Zeta-Jones may have had Botox or fillers during her appearance at the 2024 Red Seas International Film Festival.
Regarding how she maintains her fitness, the actress attributes it to dance. “Being active and on my feet is much healthier for my psyche.”
She claimed that she makes it a point to perspire each day, whether it is through sprinting on her treadmill, power walking outside, or even performing arm and body exercises like tap dancing.
Zeta-Jones also discussed her impending 25th wedding anniversary with Michael Douglas during the premiere.
“I think that what we’ve accomplished, and I think both of us will say the same and I’ll speak for myself, is our children are truly wonderful,” she stated.
“The joy they bring us, and now that they’ve flown the nest, the joy that we have together.”
After being married in 2000, Zeta-Jones and Douglas had two kids together: Carys, 22, and Dylan, 24. Despite their children growing up and moving out on their own, the actress has frequently talked about how close-knit their family is.
On November 18, 2025, the pair will commemorate their anniversary. However, their plans might be delayed due to “Wednesday” Season 3 filming commitments.
Zeta-Jones is ultimately appreciative of Douglas’s encouragement of her flourishing career. “I’ve been working a lot this year and he’s been so supportive,” she exclaimed.
After filming is finished, the couple intends to celebrate their 25th anniversary during the holidays so they can spend time together away from the fast-paced environment of Hollywood.
