Jenna Ortega has become an overnight sensation after her breakthrough performance as Wednesday Addams in the new Netflix series Wednesday. But it’s not just her acting that has people talking. Fans and fashion critics alike have been paying close attention to Ortega’s personal style, which seems to have taken on a decidedly darker, gothic look in recent months.
Jenna Ortega Admitted Wednesday Addams Influenced Her Style
The shift in Ortega’s style has been apparent to anyone following her career. In the past, she was often seen wearing bright colors and floral patterns, but lately, her looks have been darker and more edgy. In an interview, Ortega admitted that she has a hard time separating herself from the character, at least when it comes to her clothing choices.
“I do think that Wednesday changed my taste a lot. I have a hard time getting her off of me, at least clothing-wise.” Ortega said.
At the premiere of “Wednesday” last November, Ortega wore a Versace dress that fully embraced the show’s gothic theme. Her stylist, Enrique Melendez, helped her choose a black lace-adorned slip dress with a matching veil that perfectly captured the show’s aesthetic.
Since then, she has continued to embrace the gothic look, even when not wearing black. At the Golden Globes in January, she wore a light brown pleated Gucci gown that had a romantic feel, but still had an edginess to it.
Jenna Ortega Fully Embraces Her Style Transformation
It is admirable how Ortega has seemingly embraced her style transformation and what’s refreshing about her style is how natural and authentic it feels. The actress has spoken openly about how she used to place too much value on others’ opinions of her fashion choices.
“It’s also something that I’ve always wanted to do, I just never felt like I could,” Ortega said. “I feel like there were always a lot of voices and opinions that I used to place too much value in.”
Ortega’s fully embracing her style transformation is inspiring to see, especially for young fans who may be struggling to find their own personal style. By staying true to herself and fully embracing this new aesthetic, Ortega is showing that it’s possible to change your style and still feel authentic. We can’t wait to see where this journey takes her next.
