Actors may slip in and out of character, but for Jenna Ortega, fiction and fashion have long gone hand in hand. Since stepping into the shoes of Wednesday Addams in 2022, the actress’ knack for horror has been impeccably reflected in her style, cementing her as the queen of modern gothic glamour.

Whether channelling corpse bride couture in Versace lace, or reimagining Victorian noir with Thom Browne tailoring at the Met Gala, Ortega’s style arc is anything but predictable, but always on brand. In a time when many simply allow off-the-runway looks to wear them, the starlet has established a sense of personal style that is highly intentional, poised, and consistently compelling. Aided by long-time stylist Enrique Melendez, the former Disney ingénue has quickly become a fashionable favourite of any A-list red carpet.

From promoting Wednesday’s second season in a shedding snakeskin Ashi Studio dress to paying homage to the legacy of Beetlejuice for its sequel, her sartorial presence always promises a moody twist that we can’t get enough of. Here, we trace her evolving style as she’s bloomed from budding starlet to fashion muse.
