Jenna Ortega's Haunting Look At The Wednesday Season 2
Captivating and dividing.
Jenna Ortega just pulled up to the Wednesday Season 2 premiere looking like she rose from a gothic fever dream, and we’re still spiraling. Held July 30 at Central Hall Westminster in London, the event marked a major moment for the Netflix series, but all eyes were locked on Ortega. Ditching the expected black velvet or spiderweb lace, she arrived in a sheer, nude Ashi Studio couture gown that whispered corpse bride at fashion week. The look straddled the line between macabre and ethereal, polished and undone exactly where Jenna thrives. From bleached brows to sculptural snakeskin motifs, it was less “red carpet” and more “witchy séance under sodium lights.” Reactions were split, but one thing’s clear: nobody else is dressing like this.
Dress Like You’re Haunting Someone
The dress? Fall 2025 Ashi Studio Haute Couture, sleeveless, sheer, and haunted in the most high-fashion way. Its milky nude fabric clung like second skin, with lacing down the spine and a train that looked shredded on purpose, like the ghost of snakeskin past. While the runway version came nipple-forward, Ortega added bra cups for comfort without compromising the eeriness. She paired the gown with mixed-metal jewelry by Rainbow K, a choice that leaned into her love of quiet edge. Her hair was sculpted into a ponytail that faked a bob from the front, and bleached brows took the look from vampy to spectral. Dior Beauty allegedly did the beat: smoky liner, fuchsia shadow, berry lips aka funeral chic.
Internet Reactions Were… Heated
Fashion Twitter called it “goth fairycore.” Reddit likened the fabric to chicken skin, jellyfish, and vintage pantyhose. Some praised the commitment to character, others called the bleached brows “2022’s leftovers.” But in true Jenna fashion, she ignored the noise. Her aesthetic isn’t here to be palatable, it’s here to provoke, unsettle, and maybe make you stare too long. Whether you saw Morticia, Mia Goth, or an edgy Tinkerbell, Ortega’s premiere look made sure one thing stuck: Wednesday’s grown up, and she brought the weird with her.
