UNBELIEVABLE: Unleash your inner gothic glam - The Untold Story

The goth glam trend, inspired by the Addams family, was all over AW23’s runways. The word “trend” makes me shudder, but I get the need to modernise a look. Just don’t be too literal. For a festive iteration, think: what would happen if Wednesday Addams met Studio 54 and a bit of restraint? So if you go for the goth eyes try a sheer finish. If black’s too much, try dark bronze. And if dark lipstick strikes fear, go nude. Morticia would be mortified, but at least you’ll look like you.
