Jenna Ortega stunned audiences and fans alike as she unveiled a striking new look during the press tour for Wednesday Season 2, kicking off at the Paris premiere.
The actress transformed her signature style by bleaching her eyebrows to a nearly invisible blonde shade. This added a bold, gothic edge that perfectly echoes the eerie and dark aura of her hit Netflix series.
JENNA ORTEGA IN PARIS
At the Paris premiere, Ortega’s bleached eyebrows caught immediate attention. While it might have seemed she had shaved them off, it was clear the thick, dark arches were simply dyed, according to Page Six.
This created the illusion of “brows begone.”
This daring choice accentuated her expressive features and reinforced the gothic sensibility fans have come to associate with her role as Wednesday Addams.
“I feel like I have a more Gothic vibe than I did when I was a teenager,” Jenna commented in a past interview.
“I’ve always been fascinated by dark themes, but as a Disney child, I was expected to be bubbly and sweet”.
JENNA ORTEGA’S STYLE DETAILS
Stylist Cesar Ramirez complemented her look by styling Ortega’s brunette hair in soft waves. Makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis employed a smoky eye with romantic, deep wine lips to enhance the mysterious allure.
Her outfit choice for the premiere was a bold statement as well. Ortega wore an eye-catching Vivienne Westwood fall 2025 gown designed by Andreas Kronthaler.
The dress featured a ruffled corset with a plunging neckline that flared below the hips.
She accessorised with jewellery that echoed her character’s dark, witchy style. This included a Loree Rodkin cross pendant necklace, a cross signet ring, and a Bondeye Jewellery diamond.
THE LONDON PRESS EVENT
Earlier in the week at the London press event, Ortega had showcased a semi-sheer, reptilian-inspired Ashi Studio fall 2025 couture gown.
The gown had a high neck and peplum skirt, further underlining the thematic aesthetic of Wednesday.
Her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, allowing her bleached brows and radiant makeup to take centre stage.
WEDNESDAY SEASON 2
Wednesday Season 2 premieres on Netflix on 6 August, with subsequent episodes releasing on 3 September.
Jenna Ortega’s evolving look will no doubt continue to captivate viewers worldwide and highlight her commitment to embodying the gothic spirit of her iconic character.
“You’re witnessing someone experimenting, exploring who they are, that’s a natural part of growing up,” Jenna said. “It’s about embracing change and authenticity”.
