Jenna Ortega captivated audiences with her latest fashion choice, wearing a Jenna Ortega deconstructed corset dress during her appearance on The Late Night with Seth Meyers. The outfit, from New York designer Elena Velez’s fall 2025 collection, showcased a unique blend of distressed glamour and lingerie-inspired design.
The dress’s corset bodice incorporated visible boning, silver hardware, and contrasting stitching, embodying Velez’s baroque and twisted aesthetic. Ortega styled the piece with straps deliberately left hanging off her shoulders and sides, creating a look somewhere between an exposed bra and vintage lingerie garters. The skirt featured a high, uneven slit with a frayed hemline that added to the ensemble’s unraveling yet elegant appeal.
Completing the Ensemble with Thoughtful Accessories and Styling
To complement the dress, Ortega chose sheer mesh shoes and carried Aupen’s Repurpose Pochette crafted from Himalayan crocodile skin, adding texture and sophistication to the look. Her hair, styled in loose, chest-length curls, and newly bleached blonde eyebrows enhanced the edgy, haunting vibe, perfectly matching the outfit’s deconstructed theme.
Continuing the Spooky Fashion Journey Across Europe and New York
Prior to her New York appearance, Jenna Ortega maintained a consistent, eerie-yet-chic fashion streak throughout Europe. At a Paris photo call by the Seine, she wore another creation from Elena Velez’s fall 2025 collection—a plunging dress with ruching along the skirt and fringe resembling hair, merging haunted doll aesthetics with unexpected textures rather than classic gothic glamour.
Her wardrobe for the Wednesday press tour included a reptilian latex dress by Ashi Studio for the UK premiere, followed by a vintage champagne dress from DKNY at an after party. During the Paris series debut, Ortega chose Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, featuring an exposed corset, further emphasizing the corset’s prominence in her style narrative. Returning to New York, she wore a black and gray skirt suit designed by Willy Chavarria, embracing a more traditional Addams family silhouette, blending modern tailoring with gothic inspiration.
Redefining the Wednesday Addams Style with Versatility
Through her carefully curated outfits during the press tour, Jenna Ortega has shown that there is no singular way to embody Wednesday Addams’s iconic style. Instead, her looks embrace a variety of interpretations that keep the spooky essence alive while incorporating contemporary and artistic fashion elements.
