Costume

Traditionally, and because she functions in the play as a figure of innocence, Ophelia is dressed in white; you might try something demure which, when properly torn, becomes her shocking madness dress. Gertrude is regal and mature but, since the play makes a big deal about Hamlet being the only one in mourning, not in black. Try a subdued red.
