Catherine Zeta-Jones Gives Power Suiting an ‘Emily in Paris’ Makeover

• Catherine Zeta-Jones swapped her Morticia aesthetic for an outfit that could have appeared on Emily in Paris on Monday, July 28.
• While posing with the cast of Wednesday at the Season 2 photo call at London’s Natural History Museum, the Welsh actress gave power suiting a French twist.
• Zeta-Jones last stepped out at a red carpet in December wearing a vampy sheer black gown covered in black floral embroidery.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is shedding her gothic glam Morticia persona in favor of a look straight out of Emily in Paris. While posing with the cast of Wednesday at the Netflix show’s Season 2 photocall in London on Monday, July 28, the Chicago actress ditched her black in favor of a silver tailored suit paired with towering platform heels and a French accessory. 

In contrast to her co-star and on-screen daughter Jenna Ortega, who paired her bleached eyebrows transformation with a black bustier bra and a leather bomber jacket, Zeta-Jones looked ready for the office in a modern power suiting staple. Her silver fitted blazer jacket was worn open to show off a matching plunging blouse underneath, which she tucked into a pair of flowy trousers in the same color. A pair of sky-high Le Silla stilettos in a monochromatic dove gray peeped out from underneath, adding some sparkle to her ensemble with a bedazzled rhinestone trim.

The Mask of Zorro alum’s accessories nodded to Morticia Addams’ preferred hue and style: A pair of black riding gloves embellished with a gothic silver chain, silver cross earrings, and a black fishnet beret that could have been taken from Emily Cooper’s wardrobe. Wearing her jet-black hair in soft curls, Zeta-Jones went for an edgy beat for her photocall appearance, rimming her eyes in a smudged black smokey eye while a deep purple stain added some color to her lips.

Zeta-Jones last stepped out at a red carpet event in December, wearing a vampy black lace dress with a sheer-paneled bodice as she attended the 2024 Red Sea International Film Festival’s Women in Cinema event. Posing alongside husband Michael Douglas, the Welsh actress looked she’d stepped out of Wednesday as she modeled the plunging mesh dress, which was covered in black floral appliques and featured dramatic cape sleeves.
