Lady Gaga Joins Wednesday Season 2 as Nevermore Professor, Unveils Fly-Themed Return
In a stylish convergence of music, fashion, and streaming drama, Lady Gaga stepped into the Wednesday universe last night at a Graveyard Gala in New York City hosted by Netflix and Spotify to promote Wednesday Season 2, Part 2. Gaga will join the series as Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who is set to cross paths with Wednesday Addams when the new episodes arrive.
At the event, Gaga made a bold gothic statement beside Jenna Ortega, towering in black lace-up platform boots that amplified the night’s dark aesthetic. Her outfit, crafted by Anton Femia, drew immediate attention for its “Fly Witch” inspiration, a look that blended drama and whimsy. The ensemble featured balloon pants connected to a baby hoop skirt, with a sheer-panel bodice that echoed the eerie elegance of Nevermore. Across the chest, embellishments took the form of keyholes, including a patch shaped like a key, while iridescent fly wings adorned the back.
Gaga’s headwear was equally eye-catching, courtesy of Jenny Beattie Millinery x Matthew David Andrews. The extravagant fascinator, inspired by a jester’s cap and bells, was so large it could double as a parasol, with a pea-green top, lacy bows, and a jacquard pattern reminiscent of spiderwebs.
In addition to her on-screen role, Gaga teased a music tie-in for the release season, announcing a new song titled Dead Dance that will drop to mark the premiere of Season 2 Part 2. Fans will be watching September 3, when Part 2 premieres, eager to see how Rosaline Rotwood fits into the Nevermore universe and how the story unfolds with Wednesday.
