Mia Goth Explains Hidden Details In Frankenstein

The newest adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless novel Frankenstein has captivated audiences, with director Guillermo del Toro’s film being praised for being mostly faithful to the source material. Starring Australia’s own Jacob Elordi as The Creature and Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, somehow it’s Mia Goth, as Elizabeth Lavenza, who steals the show — adorned by Tiffany & Co. jewels and 19th Century gowns. Her extensive wardrobe for Frankenstein came from the mind of Emmy Award-nominated costume designer Kate Hawley, who has worked on projects such as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Crimson Peak. Goth’s character Elizabeth has an interest in entomology and botany, so Hawley included nods to beetles and other insects through patterns and garment shapes. Along with wasp-waisted tight corsets, certain fabrics were also chosen to mimic paper-thin beetle wings.

From Mia Goth to Jenna Ortega, everyone is obsessed with soft goth makeup

Goth is back, but this time, it’s softer, more chic, and easier to wear. Soft goth makeup has taken over Instagram, with over a million views on tutorials, and we have no doubts as to why: it gives that effortlessly moody, cool-girl vibe without looking like a costume. In fact, celebs are loving it too. From musician Billie Eilish’s dramatic stage looks to singer-songwriter Rosalía’s romantic, cinematic makeup, stars are experimenting with smoky eyes, sculpted cheekbones, and deep lips.

The trend is more about smoky shadows, neutral skin, and a statement lip that feels effortless.

But what exactly is soft goth?

This trend tones down the drama of classic goth makeup, creating a modern, wearable look that balances edge with elegance. If the full goth look is all-black everything and heavy liner, soft goth is its chill, fashion-forward cousin. It’s more about smoky shadows, neutral skin, and a statement lip that feels effortless.

Before becoming an internet trend, goth makeup had a rich history. Emerging in the late 1970s as punk faded away, it drew on Victorian fashion, old horror films, and gothic literature, emphasising pale skin, dark eyes, and a sense of dramatic rebellion. By the 1990s, movies like The Craft (1996) gave goth beauty a cinematic, sensual edge. Today, the style has evolved into a modern, polished, and wearable everyday look.

Why is everyone suddenly into it?

“Soft goth fits perfectly with today’s mood. After years of glowing skin and glossy pink cheeks, people are ready for something different. There’s a craving for depth, texture, and emotion in beauty again. And soft goth makeup hits that sweet spot,” says makeup artist Yamini Grover.

Pop culture has played a huge role in its comeback. Actor Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams look made dark eyes and pale lips feel cool again. Musicians like Billie Eilish and Adela keep the vibe alive with their moody, otherworldly styles. Even fashion runways have gone darker, with models wearing diffused smoky eyes, matte skin, and shades of greige lipstick.

Here’s how to nail the look:

Use a matte or semi-matte foundation for a smooth, even finish. Keep your complexion neutral rather than overly bronzed or dewy.

Contour with cool tones to define the cheekbones, temples, and jawline. Keep blush subtle or skip it completely.

Blend dark shadows like grey, charcoal, plum, or brown close to your lashes. Focus on soft blending instead of sharp lines. A touch of shimmer in the inner corner can make it more modern.

Choose a lipstick in deep berry, plum, or greige. A satin or soft matte finish gives a polished but moody touch.

The key to soft goth is imperfection. Let the eyes look a little lived-in, keep the edges diffused, and embrace a bit of rawness.

Mia Goth, Zach Galifianakis and Dan Stevens to Star in ‘Hey Bear’

“Portlandia” co-creator Jonathan Krisel is making his feature debut with “Hey Bear,” a bold revenge comedy that will star Mia Goth (“Frankenstein”), Zach Galifianakis (“The Hangover trilogy”) and Dan Stevens (“I’m Your Man”).

Penned by Carrie Kemper, the Emmy-winning writer of “Beef,” “Hey Bear” is being pitched as a “coming of rage” story boasting offbeat comedy, about a woman who seeks revenge on the bear that ate her husband. Alix Madigan (“Winter’s Bone”) will produce.

“Hey Bear” will be introduced to buyers at AFM, with HanWay Films handling international sales and WME Independent & UTA Independent Film Group representing North America.

Goth stars as Claire, who “has always led a life solely based on other people’s expectations. Married to Gregory (Dan Stevens), she accommodates his desire to spend his life studying bears in Glacier National Park, even though it means months away from him at a time. During one of her visits, a grizzly bear, nicknamed Mr. Cranky by Gregory, mauls him to death. After being told by the park rangers that Mr. Cranky was euthanised, Claire finds out that the bear has merely been transported to another national park and is living his best life. The usually meek Claire makes up her mind to exact revenge on the bear. She teams up with socially awkward park ranger Putt (Galifianakis) to assassinate Mr. Cranky, but Putt has his own murky motivations for joining her. With death and truth lurking around every tree, Claire’s desperate, grief-fueled mission takes her on an ultimately uplifting journey of empowerment and self-discovery. Set in breath-taking natural scenery, this “coming of rage” story is a darkly comedic rollercoaster ride full of originality and surprise,” the synopsis reads.

“There is nothing more thrilling than coming across a project that breaks barriers in terms of originality. As absurd and crazy as the premise of this story is, you always fully connect and empathise with Claire’s journey as she figures out how out of grief, to take ownership of her life again,” said Gabrielle Stewart, CEO of HanWay Films. “Mia Goth, Dan Stevens and Zach Galifianakis are the dream team to make us laugh, feel, and gasp with shock and horror,” Stewart continued.

Executive producers are Carrie Kemper and Danica Radovanov. Krisel is represented by UTA and Mosaic. Kemper is represented by UTA. Goth is represented by WME, Curtis Brown and Jackoway, Austen. Galifianakis is represented by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and UTA. Stevens is represented by CAA and Julian Belfrage Associates

For One Night Only, Jenna Ortega Pauses Goth Glam for Something More Soft

by jummy84 October 24, 2025

written by jummy84

Jenna Ortega and her stylist Enrique Melendez have spent the last year going all-in on Ortega’s brand of gothic glam. Inspired first by her leading role in Netflix’s Wednesday, Ortega has delighted in dark, sexy style codes: a reptilian skin-like Ashi Studio gown, pirate cosplay in Vivienne Westwood, a shredded, ripped-up GapStudio jersey dress that’d make any mid aughts emo princess swoon, a ruffled suit that reflected Stefano Gallici’s avant grade gothic vision at Ann Demulemeester. From mall goth boots on an Australian beach to mussed-up, don’t-mess-with-me makeup and backcombed hair, Jenna Ortega has stayed committed.

Last night, at InStyle’s Imagemaker Awards, Ortega opted for something a little different. Don’t get me wrong, with those bleached eyebrows, it’s still very much giving ethereal creature of the night, but this veered more romantic. More Du Maurier than Poe. Ortega wore a sheer lilac gown from Amiri’s spring 2026 collection, which features delicate, leaf-like beading, a see-through bodice, and thigh-high slit. She paired it with a fluffy oxblood coat, platform sandals in metallic silver, and a mirrored silver, boxy clutch bag. Melendez posed with Ortega on the red carpet in a similarly toned red suit.

Mia Goth Debuts Jonathan Anderson’s Provocative Dior Dress

Just five days after Jonathan Anderson’s debut Dior runway show, one of his most provocative pieces traveled over 5000 miles from Paris to Los Angeles. The occasion? The premiere of Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated new movie, Frankenstein. The lucky wearer? None other than Mia Goth, Who What Wear’s October cover star. She joins Jacob Elordi in the monster movie everyone will be talking about for the remainder of 2025 (and beyond).

Goth was announced as one of Dior’s newest ambassadors less than two weeks ago, so a red carpet moment was inevitable. The question of which runway look she’d choose to debut, however, remained a talking point among fashion editors in recent days. Well, now we know the answer—and it was certainly worth the wait. Styled by Jamie Mizrahi, Goth wore Anderson’s sheer black lace dress, a.k.a. look 41. On the runway, it was styled with a statement hat and beige undergarments, but Goth decided to ditch the topper and go for black bikini-cut underwear. She also wore Tiffany & Co. earrings and two Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. rings. Scroll down to see her newest red carpet look.
