A new season of Wednesday is coming, but as we eagerly wait, actor Joy Sunday gave us a goth-inspired look to enjoy and maybe even recreate.

Last night, July 30, in London, England, the cast of the Netflix hit series gathered together on the red carpet for the season two premiere. Sunday, who plays Bianca in the show, pulled out all the stops for her look. She wore a monochrome red outfit, opting to mix fabrics instead of colors. She wore a red knit mini dress, lace tights, and lace-up boots with fringe. To complete the look, she wore a red wide-brim hat, complete with a tassel. And underneath, her makeup was just as detailed.

According to makeup artist Pauly Blanch, “Joy’s makeup look was inspired by her outfit. I wanted something eye-catching but still effortless and balanced. The idea was to keep things clean and modern but drawing an element of the Wednesday goth girl vibe.”

Sunday’s eyebrows were lightened using Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer in 500, to make it appear as though they were bleached. Combined with the short, lifted shape, the look totally showed off her eyebrow piercing. For the eyeliner, she went with a dramatic cat-eye, mixing Lancôme Lash Idole Ultra Precise Waterproof Liner in Glossy Black and the Lancôme 24H Drama Liqui-Pencil Eyeliner in Green Metropolitan.

Blanch also used a hack to do Sunday’s black lipstick. Combining her style and inspiration from the show’s gothic aesthetic, they combined a few products to get the effect of black lipstick without the harsh lines or heavy formula. “We definitely wanted to keep the look true to Joy’s style,” Blanch explains. “She loves a shaded lip, so we amped it up by using Lancôme’s black eyeliner for added depth and added a pop of Lancôme red lipstick in the center then topped it with the new Juicy Treats Lip Gloss.”

Netflix’s Wednesday season two is set to premiere on Aug. 6, and we’re sure there will be plenty more beauty inspo from Joy Sunday to come as well.
