This spring, Jenna Ortega graced a New York red carpet in an iconic ensemble, donning a John Galliano for Dior fall-winter 2001 dress embellished with fictional newspaper cutouts. This vintage-inspired piece quickly became a highlight across numerous media outlets, representing a clever nod to fashion history—particularly that of Carrie Bradshaw—and foreseeing her remarkable style journey.
Since that memorable event, Ortega has been seen in an array of striking looks, from the eye-catching, semi-transparent, reptilian-inspired Ashi Studio Haute Couture gowns for fall 2025 to edge-driven Givenchy bullet bras. Most of these standout appearances coincided with the promotional tour for the much-anticipated second season of Netflix’s Wednesday. Although this evolution in her fashion choices has been evident, Ortega’s bold transformation has been brewing for quite a while. Consider the remarkable custom Balmain sheath made of measuring rulers that she wore to the 2025 Met Gala, or the daring slit skirt Donna Karan ensemble she showcased at the Vanity Fair Oscars party the same year. Jenna Ortega has always been stylish, but her recent wardrobe choices exude an unapologetic attitude. Styled by the talented Enrique Melendez, she has embraced this gothic aesthetic with enviable flair.
Join us as we revisit some of Ortega’s most noteworthy fashion statements, capturing her shift from one of her pioneering rebellious red carpet looks to her contemporary gothic glam.
