Jenna Ortega showcased her red carpet prowess once again at the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, where the 21-year-old Wednesday star is nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her role in the Netflix series.
For her inaugural appearance on the Emmys red carpet, Ortega donned a breathtaking Dior Haute Couture gown, referring to it as an "art piece." Speaking with E! during the pre-show, she expressed, "It's such an art piece; it literally stands on its own. It's a perfect dress to commemorate a special night."
The structured strapless dress, featuring sheer elements, boasted delicate pastel embroidered flowers. With her hair down and minimal jewelry – a necklace, ring, and bracelet – Ortega's best accessory of the night was her mom, whom she brought as her date for the momentous occasion.
Having made a name for herself since her Disney channel days, Ortega has consistently impressed on the red carpet with her impeccable style. At the 2023 Golden Globes last January, where she was also nominated for her Wednesday role, she opted for an ethereal brown Gucci gown, a departure from her usual darker hues. The show-stopping dress had floor-skimming drop sleeves, a long train, and drapey ab cutouts adorned with silver o-rings. Ortega accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewels and silver pumps, maintaining a stunning look with a tousled shag haircut and sharp winged eyeliner.
For the after-party, she embraced a more Wednesday-inspired appearance, sporting a collared bustier corset, blazer, and black pants – all courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana.
Before the Golden Globes, Ortega was already on the fashion radar. During her Wednesday press tour, she and stylist Enrique Melendez curated outfits inspired by the Addams Family icon, including a standout lace Versace gown straight off the runway for the series premiere. Recognized as someone who "fully commits," Ortega has embraced modern-day interpretations of Wednesday's white collar, a detail she resonates with since childhood, as people have often compared her to the iconic character since she was 6 years old.
