There are triple threats, and then there is Jenna Ortega - actor, cellist, and reigning queen of wardrobe chaos (the good kind). Whether she is unleashing emotional turmoil on screen or casually playing Bach between takes, Ortega’s skill set keeps evolving like her wardrobe. One day it is gothic glam; the next, it is metallic measuring tools masquerading as haute couture, remember her custom silver Balmain ruler dress at the 2023 Met Gala? Add red lace McQueen and pink Balenciaga to that list. And just when you think she has peaked, she proves you wrong. 

She has done it again, emerging in an ensemble that flirts with danger, taunts the cameras, and reminds us the red carpet is still her personal runway.

Jenna Ortega continues her ascent as a red carpet risk-taker while promoting the second season of Wednesday. On July 30, during the global premiere of Part One at Central Hall Westminster in London, the Emmy-nominated actress made headlines once again. Styled by Enrique Melendez, Ortega stepped out in a nude, serpentine dress from Ashi Studio’s Fall 2025 Haute Couture collection, a look that turned heads and silenced flashbulbs before anyone even asked a question.

The garment resembled shredded snakeskin delicately arranged across Ortega’s frame, a deliberately eerie aesthetic that nodded subtly to her television alter ego, Wednesday Addams. Mixed-metal accessories from Rainbow K added glint without overpowering the ensemble, while a slick ponytail framed her face in a faux bob, just the right amount of drama to finish the look. Creepy, commanding, and couture-driven, Ortega proved once more that no one bends a carpet, or a theme, quite like she does.

This seamless fusion of character and couture is precisely what admirers have come to expect from her ongoing collaboration with fashion architect Enrique Melendez.

Jenna Ortega, who wants an aspect of Wednesday in her life, and Enrique Melendez, her stylist, have been redefining red carpet fashion with a gothic-glam twist, using Wednesday as their creative playground. From the dramatic black lace Versace gown and veil worn at the Season One premiere to the razor-sharp Givenchy ensemble at the Season Two launch, every appearance has merged character and couture seamlessly. Their standout collaboration at the 2023 Met Gala, featuring a schoolgirl-goth Thom Browne masterpiece, proved that their vision transcends promotional bounds.

Their fashion narrative is neither accidental nor one-sided. Melendez, Ortega’s stylist since 2016, has worked closely with her to build a lookbook that reflects both her persona and personal taste. These Wednesday-era outfits, edgy, eerie, but elegant, showcase a dialogue between actress and architect, where both contribute equally. Each ensemble is not just a look but a layered reference, cementing Ortega as a style icon and Melendez as a mastermind of cinematic fashion translation.
