That question was answered in haunting fashion in episode six, "Woe Thyself," when Gaga was revealed as the ghost of Rosaline Rotwood, a Raven like Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and a former teacher at the school. When Wednesday seeks out Rotwood in hopes of regaining her psychic ability, in true Raven fashion, Rotwood exacts a price: Wednesday and Enid (Emma Myers) are forced to switch bodies, Freaky Friday style, with the threat of death hanging over their heads if they don't gain a truer understanding of one another.

The writers created a backstory and biography for Rotwood, explains Mark Sutherland, who together with Colleen Atwood designed the season's costumes. To create her ghostly garments, "we went back to where she came from and took the silhouettes for her look from the period, which is the 1930s, and that gave us the perfect shape," Sutherland says. "She is a Raven, so there are certain elements: We embroidered feathers on the sleeve that you can just get a little glimpse of as the light catches it." He adds, "There's also a little feather edging, so as she floats through the air we have a bit of movement going on, and we put this huge, very light veil over the top of it so we could give it a ghostly look. It was great because the light caught it from the top, and I thought it was just a great reveal." Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood with Thing on Wednesday.

"She's so into the character, she's into the show," he says, "so it was great to be able to work with her because it was all about that character [Rotwood], not about the other character, Lady Gaga." An even bigger fashion moment occurs in episode seven, "Woe Me the Money," when Nevermore hosts the fundraising gala arranged by Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi). The Addams family, along with most of the cast, are decked out in their finest 18th century-inspired ball attire for the event, with Dort and Joanna Lumley's Grandmama Hester Frump arriving by gondola. The showstopping gala required a whole season's worth of preparation, says Atwood. The designers kept the theme in mind and started gathering materials even as they prepared for the earlier episodes, filtering the gala's vintage Venetian inspiration through a modern lens. "It evolves as you're working and as you're shooting," she says. "The people making the clothes within our workroom, whenever they had a minute where they were not doing regular stuff, [they could] create a corset or do something really fun. Because getting to make that kind of stuff is pretty rare, and it's really fun to do." In addition to costume construction done by their own team, they partnered with workrooms in Italy and the U.K. to craft items, with Atwood and Sutherland checking in on the progress regularly as they designed the principal actors' costumes.

For Sutherland, it was Pugsley's (Isaac Ordonez) jester costume. "Every single element, every single triangle, is singularly cut and put together with this fine braid," he notes. "I just loved the way he looked in that costume, because you have all these big dresses and masks and everything, and then you have him." Another favorite? "Obviously, Morticia," he says. "The whole family, as they came down the staircase, I thought they looked amazing. It's not really just one costume, it's the whole look overall." Catherine Zeta-Jones wears a black gown with gold accents and an exaggerated waist, along with a matching black headdress, while Luis Guzmán, as Gomez, wears a ruffled shirt and intricately embroidered period coat that's reminiscent of the actor's Count of Monte Cristo days. Atwood agrees that the combination of the cast's looks together is what makes the gala s
