See the Wednesday star’s most glamorous goth looks.

Jenna Ortega went from being known as a sweet child star in Jane the Virgin (2014) to embodying the moody, iconic Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s hit show Wednesday (2022). Over the last few years, the actress has also starred in dark film projects including The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020) and the Scream franchise (2022 and 2023).
Her edgy adult roles have since had a major influence on her style—which recently tends to include an abundance of lace, platform heels, and, above all, the color black. With her fashion, Ortega singlehandedly launched this year’s Wednesday-core trend, inspiring fans everywhere to dress in all-black season after season.
Ahead, see some of Ortega’s best goth-glam looks.
