As if we weren’t already counting down the days until the premiere of Wednesday on Netflix, Jenna Ortega teased us with a trendy look that is so in character.
Stepping out for the Critics Choice Association’s 2nd Annual Celebration of Latino Cinema and Television, Ortega joined the sheer trend and wore a black dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. The delicate mesh fabric formed a dramatic silhouette, covering one shoulder with a fully covered sleeve that extended into a glove while the other remained bare. Underneath she wore a high-waist two-piece, a nod to the 1960s, which is when we first met Wednesday Addams.
For her feet, Ortega chose a pair of black platform heels. She opted for silver jewelry with earrings and a large statement ring. Also taking a note from the ’60s, she highlighted her look with a dark red manicure and pedicure in true Wednesday fashion.
Taking it up a notch, Jenna Ortega wore her hair in a bun. Her face-framing strands accentuated her bronze-contoured cheeks, contrasted by her pink nude lipstick. And of course, the look wouldn’t be complete without a dark smoky eye, highlighted by spider lashes.
Back in January, Ortega revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that she underwent a “physical transformation” to play the role of Wednesday. In addition to adjusting her mannerisms and cadence, she cut her hair and dyed it black. The transformation paid off because even her off-duty looks are giving off some serious Wednesday Addams vibes.
But of course, this isn’t the first time Jenna Ortega has worn a Wednesday-esque number. For the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2022, she also donned an all-black, gothic-inspired outfit. With all these stunning looks, we’re all the more excited to see all the costumes Jenna will wear on Wednesday when it premieres on November 23.
