When Jenna Ortega graced our screens as Wednesday Addams in the Netlifx spin-off series Wednesday, the world went wild for girly-gothic fits, dark academia grunge and all things vintage, edgy and monochromatic.

The 21-year-old's personal sense of style made her the perfect match for such a character-  her sartorial agenda is the perfect blend of edgy and sophisticated with a hint of gothic flair.

She has a penchant for creating looks that are both elegant and rebellious. Often opting for tailored suits, chunky boots, and statement accessories, her style is versatile, effortlessly transitioning from red carpet glamour to street style cool, always with a touch of attitude and a strong sense of individuality.

It was perhaps unsurprising therefore that she was offered the role of Astrid Deetz in the 2024 movie Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - the remake of the 1988 film Beetlejuice - yet another ghoulish Tim Burton classic.

Jenna is leaning into her character with her epic emo-chic 'tour'drobe, following in the footsteps of Blake Lively for It Ends with Us, Zendaya for Challengers and Margot Robbie for Barbie, to name a few. 

Her wardrobe is blending Avril Lavigne's cool-girl grunge with Tish Weinstock's goth-chic agenda, serving up soft rock glamour at the helm of her stylist Enrique Melendez.

It's giving 'London cool-girl'

For a photocall at One Marylebone in London, she oozed cool in a burgundy double-breasted blazer from McQueen by Seán McGir's RE25 collection. 

Eschewing trousers for the occasion, she paired the piece with showstopping red tights from Calzedonia and matching platform heels by Le Silla.

Corsets and clutch bag cosplay

Jenna stunned in a custom couture piece courtesy of Harris Reed at the London premiere. The two-toned corseted body and skirt set featured teal panels and black velvet stripes. A pair of velvety opera gloves and a bag in the shape of the iconic house from the 1988 movie finished off her glamorous look.

Venice Film Festival

Stepping out onto the red carpet alongside co-stars Wynona Rider, Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe, Jenna called upon the ateliers at Christian Dior to create a custom gown for the occasion. 

The stunning red dress featured an open back and an intricately crafted heart-shaped bodice which flowed into a full skirt made from dainty floating sheer tulle.

Elevated dark academia

Leaning into her Wednesday Addams wardrobe, Jenna wore a preppy pleated checked midi skirt paired with a white crop top and a navy cardigan. The look was inspired by the original Beetlejuice movie's character Lydia Deetz, played by Winona Ryder, who wore an almost identical outfit in the OG movie.

It-girl tailoring

Every It-girl in 2024 is championing short-hemmed pieces, be it micro-shorts or mini skirts. Jenna captured attention in a cropped grey and black striped blazer paired with a matching mini skirt. A pair of striped tights and platform heels made a major style statement.

Perfect pinstripes

Jenna oozed boss babe vibes in a Dolce & Gabbana pinstriped corseted top and skirt set. A pair of skyscraping black stilettos and jet-black sunglasses rounded off her tantalising tailored look.

Skull-chic

For a fan event in Mexico last week, Jenna wore a body-sculpting green skull dress by Saudi Arabian label Lurline. It featured intricate moulding detailing inspired by the film’s zombie character, Bob.

Vintage Vivenne Westwood

There is perhaps no fashion label more appropriate for Jenna's sense of style than Vivienne Westwood. For a photocall in Mexico City, Jenna perfect soft rock glam in a archival 2009 piece from the British label, with delicate chiffon neckline and elegant midi length.
