Billie Eilish was on the mood board when figuring out Wednesday’s look
The team behind the Netflix show wanted to stay true to the character. Wednesday is intelligent, has a sharp tongue, likes all things macabre, and always looks half-dead. The team wanted a gothic look for her that would suit her personality which is somewhat cold and spooky.
Not to mention, Wednesday hates colors. And Billie Eilish was the perfect choice to serve as inspiration behind her look. During an interview with USA Today, Jenny revealed that the Ocean Eyes singer was on the mood board. And we can clearly see why. The singer-songwriter is known for her edgy sense of style. From her baggy clothes to her iconic hairstyles, she is the epitome of edgy.
