On Wednesday, July 30, Jenna Ortega was a vision of ethereal glamour at the Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 red carpet premiere in London. Ahead of its release, the leading lady stepped out in a snakeskin look by Ashi Studio — with bleached brows to match.
Ortega is esteemed for her performance in the comedy series, which originally debuted in 2022. Her mastery of Wednesday Addams’ off-putting, deadpan disposition is utterly spot-on, and her commitment to the character has carried over into her style choices; this dress is a mature, high-fashion approach to the quirky gothic genre. And if Wednesday were to switch up her dependable color palette and explore couture, we’d expect it to look a little something like this.
Wednesday Addams’ Style Slithers into Season 2
Ortega stepped out onto the carpet in a body-hugging look from Ashi Studios, featuring a high-neck silhouette that billowed out around the hips in a structured, peplum waistline. The top half of the ensemble was complemented by a floor-length skirt flowing from beneath it, draped loosely from the thighs down.
The gown’s hemline was jaggedly cut, distressed along the edges, yet carefully crafted with a strong execution of a sultry aesthetic. And its lace-up detailing on the backside was an impeccable touch that gave the look a costume-like feel, styled by Enrique Melendez.
Mohammed Ashi, founder and current creative director of the namesake brand, is known for his architectural designs and precise tailoring. This piece from his Fall 2025 Couture collection gives the impression of a snake shedding its skin — arguably, a nod to the ominous, moody aura that surrounds Ortega’s character in the series.
A Hyp(knot)ic Hairdo
The actress traded Wednesday’s signature pigtail braids for a more sophisticated hairstyle: a face-framing, low pony with weaving at the nape. Perhaps a quiet reference to the character’s regular ‘do, this take felt slightly more elevated, bringing the serpentine aesthetic full circle.
A Fashionable Finale
Ortega looked fashionably reptilian as the snakeskin textures clung to her in all the right spots, as if she had just emerged from the water. Every beauty detail that accompanied this look — from the blonde brows down to the blood red lip — felt intentional. And if you ask us, in another life, this is Wednesday’s perfect mid-20s outfit inspo for a night out!
The second season of The Addams Family spin-off will be available to stream on Netflix on September 3.
