The ‘It Girl’ of the season is officially Jenna Ortega. Her ominously perfect performance in Wednesday, as protagonist, Wednesday Addams, has blown the world away. Ortega has since gained a major following on her social media accounts and has shot into the spotlight as the young actor behind the amazing portrayal of the eponymous character. Not only has she been delighting viewers on talk shows and red carpets with her personality but also her incredible looks. Seen on brand with her most recent character’s fashion choices, she is giving us the most incredible style inspiration which we did not know we needed. So, we are going to save you the trouble of breaking down some of her recent looks.
Style Check
Jenna wears a well-tailored houndstooth checked three-piece suit for her shoot to accompany her New York Times interview. Waist coats made their revival this year and as our new ‘It Girl’ sports one, we can only assume they will continue to gain in popularity. A very sexy, androgynous look for Jenna here and we are loving it. It makes us ask, will suits ever go out? After these pictures, it is hard to imagine that day ever coming.

A green queen in our presence with this look and we are indeed green with envy over this fit. This is a preppy fit for Jenna and we think the polo and checked skirt combo are a good look. It is simple and yet a style which has remained relevant since its debut. The American college aesthetic of this look gives of a chic look and we of course love the green colour choice.
Drop Dead Gorgeous
The Versace dress we can’t get enough of. It is classic, it is trending and it is of course, a Wednesday inspired piece. Sinisterly beautiful and giving us chills. Veils are doing the rounds and Jenna Ortega is certainly keeping them in the style spotlight.
Back To Black
Another head-to-toe black outfit. A Dion Lee gown for Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show, shows Ortega in a mature and incredibly gorgeous light. The actor, once again, shows her love for black lace and we are all over this dress. The high set of open-toed black stilettos adds to the classic and feminine aesthetic Ortega is pulling off so very elegantly.
It is black, it is lace, it is Jenna Ortega style. A midi cut, low v-neck, fitting dress is a simply stunning choice. Paired with the high chunky black heels, it is another iconic look for Jenna. The slim silhouette of the dress and strappy shoulders creates a subtle sexiness which is hard to imitate.
Moving from embroidered lace to sheer, the style is still very much on brand for her. An asymmetrical fitting gown reveals one shoulder and has us on board with this style. Yet again, the Wednesday actorgives off a chic and polished look in this garment and we can’t think of a better fit.
Pinky Promise
Earlier this year we saw Jenna in a very different look to what her recent aesthetic has been capturing. A full wave of pink was worn by Ortega for the Met Gala held back in May. The colour which dominated the year and will still linger through 2023 as no one is quite ready to move on from this bright, eye-catching hue. Use Jenna Ortega’s Gala outfit as your inspo as you engross in pink. Go full outfit or wear pops of pink to draw attention your way.
Rev Your Engines
This look Jenna wears for a shoot with High Snobiety is giving us a different side to the Wednesday fashion we have been obsessing over. Don’t worry we are still obsessing over this and love the mix of styles we are starting to see the actress in. The Diesel skirt which has had us all hooked, paired with the biker-style jacket is a very cool look for Jenna and we think can definitely play a part in evolving her style over the coming season.
