Jenna Ortega, the star of Netflix’s award-winning Wednesday, made a splash on the red carpet this week at the premiere of the show’s second season. This fantastic event was held on 30 July 2025 in London. The event showcased not her fashion choices but the anticipation surrounding the upcoming episodes. Ortega, known for her role as the beloved Wednesday Addams, stole the show on the purple carpet. She was flanked by her castmates, including fellow Addams Family member Catherine Zeta-Jones, who portrays her onscreen mom Morticia Addams.
Ortega’s ensemble — a head-turning look from Gucci’s Fall 2022 collection — was a sheer cream latex gown with a snakeskin design. Her hair was cinematically tucked away into a long, low ponytail, underscored by dark lipstick and bleached brows. The look gave the ensemble a dark fantasy vibe, in keeping with the series’ overall theme, while still showcasing her killer style.
