Jenna Ortega and Ann Demeulemeester Are a Match Made in Tailored, Gothic Heaven

Jenna Ortega has truly discovered her ideal gothic aesthetic with Ann Demeulemeester. Although she has turned heads in a scaly Ashi Studio gown, embodied a pirate in Vivienne Westwood, and donned a tattered GapStudio jersey dress that would captivate any mid-2000s emo princess, it’s Stefano Gallici’s cutting-edge gothic style where Ortega truly excels.

At the Belgian designer’s spring 2026 show, where she graced the front row, the Wednesday star showcased a striking ensemble featuring a cropped, shimmering greige blazer with sculpted lapels, a sheer, high-necked black crop top, and tailored trousers that flared elegantly at the ankles. Her look was completed with feathery accents and tulle from her sleeves and waistband, topped off with towering platform boots from Louboutin. It was truly a nod to the gothic elegance of Edgar Allan Poe, made even more stylish with aviators.

Joining Ortega in the front row were Kim Petras, Demi Lovato, and Taylor Hill.

Ortega and her stylist, Enrique Melendez, have meticulously crafted a distinctive aesthetic. The signature Jenna Ortega style? Sleek, sheer gowns—like the vibrant cherry red version seen during Sarah Burton’s spring 2026 Givenchy collection—combined with the edgy suiting style represented by Ann D.

Always glamorous, Ortega’s look is enhanced by makeup professional Mélanie Inglessis and hair stylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez, who emphasize Ortega’s bleached brows with soft brown smoky eyes, generous layers of black mascara, Dior lipstick, and tousled hair, complete with hints of crimping for a touch of mall goth flair.

The Ann Demeulemeester spring 2026 runway dazzled with flashes of pink brocade, military-inspired jackets, and whimsical pirate motifs adorned with feathers, tulle, and ruffles, ensuring that Ortega and Melendez have plenty to work with as they continue to redefine trendy gothic fashion.
