'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega has proven her ability to dominate the red carpet on any given day. Despite her demanding schedule, the 21-year-old actress made time to grace the Emmy Awards with her presence, where she received a well-deserved nomination for her iconic portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the show's inaugural season.
Making her debut appearance on the Emmys red carpet, Ortega stunned onlookers in a breathtaking Dior Haute Couture gown, which she aptly described as a true work of art. In an interview with E! News, she expressed her admiration for the dress, stating, "It is such an exquisite piece, it possesses a beauty that stands alone. It is the perfect attire to commemorate this special evening."
The structured strapless dress, with its sheer elements, boasted delicate pastel embroidered flowers scattered throughout. Ortega opted for a loose, flowing hairstyle and minimal jewelry, adorning herself with a necklace, ring, and bracelet. However, her most cherished accessory of the night was none other than her beloved mother, whom she proudly brought along as her date for this momentous occasion.
Although Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday Addams has left an indelible mark on her career, her journey with the character is far from over. The highly anticipated second season of "Wednesday" is confirmed, although production has yet to commence. In the meantime, the actress has been involved in the Beetlejuice sequel, where she portrays the daughter of Winona Ryder's Lydia Deetz.
While this new project may not have influenced her fashion choices as significantly as her role as Wednesday, it is possible that when filming for the Netflix show resumes, she will bid farewell to the floral motifs and return to her edgier style.
