Morticia Addams

Morticia Addams is the matriarch of the fictional Addams Family, created by cartoonist Charles Addams.

She is pale, elegant, and draped in a form-fitting black gown, embodying a gothic aesthetic with dark humor and unflappable composure.

The name has become shorthand for a woman with a morbid sensibility, dramatic style, or deadpan wit: She showed up in all black looking like Morticia Addams.
