Jenna Ortega made a bold fashion statement at the Wednesday Season 2: Part One premiere in London. The 22-year-old actress, who plays the lead role in the hit Netflix series, wore a striking nude gown inspired by serpentine elegance.
Serpentine Style Turns Heads
Styled by Enrique Melendez, Ortega wore an Ashi Studio FW25 Couture gown that redefined the “naked dress” trend. The dress featured a body-hugging silhouette with a subtle snakeskin pattern running from the high neckline to its peplum skirt. The serpentine texture and sheer design gave an illusion of shedding skin, mirroring her gothic character’s mysterious vibe.
She completed the look with Jimmy Choo heels, nude nails, and a slicked-back ponytail that kept the focus on her unique ensemble.
Beauty with a Bite
Ortega’s glam added to the theme. Her bleached eyebrows created an eerie effect, while her berry-toned lips and spider lashes gave her a gothic edge. Purple mascara gave a subtle pop of color, while silver jewelry from Rainbow K added a hint of shimmer.
The overall look captured the essence of her Wednesday persona—dark, daring, and unpredictable.
Life Imitates Art: Jenna’s Gothic Influence
This isn’t the first time Ortega has drawn fashion cues from her Wednesday character. In a 2023 interview with The Cut, she admitted, “When I was working on Wednesday, I suddenly only ever wore black. My closet just lost all its color.”
That gothic influence has carried into her red carpet appearances. At the 2023 SAG Awards, she wore an all-black sculpted Versace gown. For Saint Laurent’s Menswear Fall/Winter 2023 show, she rocked a dramatic backless, hooded black dress—further showcasing her character’s long-lasting style impact.
In a Harper’s Bazaar interview, Ortega noted, “I definitely feel like I have a bit more Gothic taste than I did when I was a teenager.” Her growing personal connection to Wednesday Addams continues to shape her evolving fashion sense.
What to Expect from Wednesday Season 2
As Jenna Ortega dominates red carpets, she’s also returning to screens in one of Netflix’s most popular series. According to the show’s synopsis, Season 2 promises more supernatural twists and dark humor.
Wednesday Addams, armed with her sharp wit and icy charm, will navigate new challenges involving family, friends, and old enemies. A fresh mystery will unfold, plunging her into yet another eerie, spine-chilling adventure.
Release Dates to Mark
Fans won’t have to wait much longer. Part One of Wednesday Season 2 premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, August 6. Part Two follows shortly after on Wednesday, September 3.
