From “Snow White” to “Sicilian Widow,” Jill Kargman has heard all of it.

The creator, actress and author has a signature look — raven black hair and alabaster skin, set off with red accents on lips and nails — that’s as distinctive as her body of labor. “My mom’s description is ‘Sicilian Widow,’ simply because I really like black and usually, I wear black. I actually have a fear of color,” laughed Kargman.

Kargman’s taste extends to her work as well. She showcased her aesthetic in “Odd Mom Out,” the scripted Bravo series she created and starred in that satirized parents in Recent York’s upper echelons that was based off of her book, “Momzillas.”

Through the pandemic, she took to Instagram to showcase satirical imaginary characters like “Dzanielle,” an Upper East Side mother during lockdown, and “Viktorija,” a fictional childhood friend of Melania Trump.

She also cinched a gig on sister-in-law Drew Barrymore’s talk show, where she wore achromatic ensembles with scarlet lips to interview passersby and learn the best way to make pizza from scratch.

Though Kargman’s style has been a long time within the making, it was in her teenage years that she learned to change into comfortable together with her pallor. Two bouts with melanoma, the primary when she was in eighth grade, meant she had to remain permanently out of the sun. That was when she embraced the ethos. “I made a decision to offer up on looking like everyone else, and just leaned into the cadaver-chic thing,” she said.

Maintaining her complexion requires diligence, including regular facials from Georgia Louise and an array of skincare products. “I also do my very own alchemy at home,” she said. “My dad [Arie Kopelman, former president of Chanel] used to work at Chanel, and I’m loyal to certain Chanel things, like Blanc de Chanel, which I take advantage of as a pore-blurrer. I also use an Anna Sui white powder.”

For her hair, Kargman swears by Philip Kingsley’s Flaky Scalp Cleansing Shampoo, and she or he sees her lips and nails as her canvas for experimentation, oscillating between reds and dark pinks. No polish, though — only CND Shellac (“it doesn’t spoil my nailbeds,” she said.)

She isn’t inclined to try much else. “I attempt to stay pale, I actually have dyed my hair black,” she said. “Once you select that that’s it, you don’t take many risks.”

As distinct as her sartorial sensibilities are, it’s just one piece of Kargman’s aesthetic vision. Her home on the Upper East Side is decorated with skulls and skeletons, and she or he’s all the time had an affinity toward the macabre.

“My dad all the time talked about death, my family is super morbid.…I wrote a book about it called ‘Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave,’” Kargman said. “Halloween is my Christmas, and that manifests in my clothes, my house and whatever I placed on my face. All of it coalesces.”

Kargman’s embrace of the morbid hasn’t just lent itself to her style, but to recent nicknames, too. “Someone just called me their Goth fairy godmother, and I used to be very honored. That’s form of fabulous.”
