Morticia Addams just might be the most underrated female character of all time. She’s also one I hold near and dear to my heart. A loving mother, half of what is arguably the most wonderful partnership, always full of strange, wacky wisdom… what more could I have asked for in a fictional parent?

Morticia has held the style icon title for decades now, and rightfully so. Though she’s worn many faces over the years, from actress to actress, her sultry, vampy, goth-glam has stayed the same. While that aesthetic necessarily may not be for everyone (but seriously, guys: don’t knock it till you try it), I think everyone could take a page out of Morticia’s styling book every once in awhile.
