Jenna Ortega goes all out in goth glamour while promoting 'Wednesday' Season 2

When it comes to gothic style, Jenna Ortega knows best.
While promoting Wednesday Season 2 in Paris and the U.K. this week, Ortega stepped out in an array of high-fashion looks that exuded gothic glamour.
With the help of Enrique Melendez, Ortega’s celebrity stylist of 14 years, the Wednesday star has consistently been clad in couture, with fashion houses like Vivienne Westwood, Givenchy, Ashi Studio and Elena Velez lending dramatic garments for the occasion.

That Ortega is once again serving up sartorial perfection — without leaning into convention — should come as no surprise. It seems no fabric is off-limits to the 22-year-old actress when curating her hauntingly romantic wardrobe: Snakeskin-printed latex and strands of blonde-dyed hair play just as crucial a role as Victorian ruffles and delicate lace when it comes to bringing her eerily elegant style to life. Ortega’s propensity for dark femininity also comes through in her now-signature makeup look: a soft smoky eye and bleached brows.
Below, here’s everything she’s worn so far during her press tour for Wednesday Season 2, which premieres on Netflix on Aug. 6.
Ortega’s latest look is the mauve Vivienne Westwood gown with a plunging ruffled neckline that she wore to the Wednesday Season 2 premiere in Paris on July 31. The romantic design was cinched by a sheer corset with exposed boning.

On Thursday, while continuing to promote the show in Paris, Ortega debuted a daring garment from Elena Velez’s fall 2025 “Leech” collection: a plunging, slinky beige frock covered in blonde strands of hair.
For the London premiere on Wednesday, Ortega stepped out in a sheer, pale yellow frock from Ashi Studios’ fall collection. The couture garment was made of snakeskin-printed latex and featured a body-hugging bodice, high-neck collar and frayed edges.

Archival Donna Karan? Count us in. The same night of the London premiere, Ortega was spotted in a silky, champagne-hued gown from DKNY’s resort 2004 collection.

The actress posted the ensemble to her Instagram on Tuesday.
Ortega kicked off the Wednesday press tour with a sculptural number by Givenchy: a leather bullet bra with exaggerated sleeves, padded gloves and a long, high-waisted skirt. She sported the look during the show’s launch party at London’s Natural History Museum on Sunday.
