Move over butter yellow, Jenna Ortega is all in on a soft tone of champagne for fall.
Appearing yesterday in London for the global premiere of the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday, the actor started off the evening in a sheer, extraterrestrial-esque Ashi Studio fall 2025 couture look. The gown fell into a peplum-y column with spirals of fabric like burnt paper, with a see-through, membrane-like bottom half. Grown up goth glam—an alien queen braid, bleached brows, a wine red lip all courtesy of Ortega’s hairstylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez and MUA Mélanie Inglessis—completed the look.
For the afterparty, Ortega doubled down on the champagne tones, changing out of her red carpet-appropriate couture gown in favor of a silky slip dress with a frilled scoop neck and which fell to the calf. Accessories were kept to a singular, delicate silver pendant, and she wore spike toed black slingback stilettos with a red heel. She followed through with her gothy glam.
The Jenna Ortega school of glamorous event styling has seen the actor work devotedly with stylist Enrique Melendez. They’ve turned out oversized, coordinated tailoring from Simkhai, skintight leather via Courreges, Ann Demeulemeester suiting, and archival DKNY and John Galliano’s Dior to give Ortega not one, but two Carrie Bradshaw moments.
It seems like Ortega is getting a lot of joy and inspiration from experimenting with fashion on the press tour run too: “Bury me in this Ann Demeulemeester,” she captioned her last IG post. Us too.
While summer has been dominated by butter yellow care of everyone from Gigi Hadid to Jennifer Lawrence and even Kate Middleton, Ortega offers a more muted, appropriately haunted tone for the forthcoming fall season—think Miss Havisham’s attic of decaying dresses, or the wardrobe of a Victorian doll.
