The world promotional tour for Netflix’s second season of Wednesday has seen Jenna Ortega and stylist Enrique Melendez delight in a suite of gothic, glamorous fashion: a sea witchy Vivienne Westwood corset dress, a ruffled, backless black Ann Demeulemeester slip dress, super sharp tailoring via Willy Chavarria, and a a reptilian skin-like Ashi Studio gown, to name a few. Heading all the way to Australia, there was still plenty to pull from: and the goth life stops for nothing and no one—case in point, Ortega’s paddle in the surf at Bondi Beach in a Matrix-esque leather trench, combat boots in hand.
Her latest look is less Wednesday Addams, more Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!). Photographed at a fan event on Cockatoo Island in Sydney, Australia, Ortega wore a leather, pumpkin orange and black striped Fendi dress.
She wrapped herself up in a chocolate and black faux fur and leather coat, and wore khaki and blank gradient ankle boots with silver spiked heels and dinosaur-like spikes up the shoe spine. Her mixed silver and gold necklaces and rings were by Martha Calvo, Rainbow K, and Yvonne Léon.
Accessories, footwear, and outwear have been important for bringing this elevated glam goth wardrobe to life for Jenna Ortega and Melendez—grown-up mall goth boots by MIISTA to add some tougness to a slip dress, an undulating furry coat via Valentino for extra drama, a sharp-peaked hat for a new, New Look-esque ensemble. Glam has also been a key tenet, with hairstylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez and makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis. On this evening, Ortega wore her hair long and voluminous, and makeup accentuated her bleached brows with a now go-to smoky eye.
With more episodes to drop and a continuing, continent-hopping promo tour, expect all the more darkly romantic looks to come from Jenna Ortega, a style icon in the making.
