Jenna Ortega Reveals Why Wednesday’s Goth Aesthetic is Her Ultimate Style - You Won't Believe What She Wears!

Jenna Ortega disclosed that her real fashion sense closely aligns with the wardrobe of her Netflix character, Wednesday Addams. "The issue is that ever since working on that show, whenever I do wear black, it appears as though I am staying true to the character, but it is genuinely my personal style," expressed the 20-year-old actress in an interview with WSJ. Magazine published on Monday, June 26th.

The alum from You revealed that she genuinely resonates with both Wednesday, the gothic teenager with pigtail hair and a love for the color black. She expressed that it is effortless for her to connect with this character. Wearing all black makes her feel the most like herself, which is why she finds the job so thrilling.

Ortega brought her grunge glam vibes to the Met Gala last month, making a stunning appearance on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She wore a Victorian-inspired ensemble designed by Thom Browne. The striking outfit consisted of a corset bodice and a ruffled skirt embellished with pearls. To complete the look, the Scream V actress paired the attire with knee-high stockings and black-and-white patent heeled brogues.

At the Wednesday premiere in November 2022, Ortega made a captivating fashion statement. The actress stunned on the series' red carpet in a black lace slip dress designed by Versace, complemented by a delicate tulle veil gracefully covering her face.

When she's not engaged in press engagements or on set, Ortega opts for a more casual and understated wardrobe with subtle touches of color.

"I struggle with putting together outfits in the morning, especially since I'm usually rushing off to work. My personal clothes hardly get any use," confessed the California native. "So, it's usually just sweats for me, and I tend to feel cold easily, so I always grab a cardigan. I'm particularly obsessed with these vintage red boots from the 1970s that I thrifted...whenever possible, I try to incorporate them into my look."

Ortega has gained recognition not only in the world of fashion but also in the beauty industry. Dior recently announced that she has been chosen as the new ambassador for the fragrance Gris Dior. Through her affiliation with this prestigious brand, she has acquired a wealth of knowledge on scents and personal preferences.

Ortega shared her particular taste in fragrances with WSJ, stating, "I have a discerning nose when it comes to scents. I gravitate towards those that are unisex and have an androgynous quality. Sweet fragrances are not to my liking; anything too sugary or reminiscent of lollipops is a no-go for me."
