Jenna Ortega goes all out in goth glamour while promoting 'Wednesday' Season 2
When it comes to gothic style, Jenna Ortega knows best.
While promoting Wednesday Season 2 in Paris and the U.K. this week, Ortega stepped out in an array of high-fashion looks that exuded gothic glamour.
With the help of Enrique Melendez, Ortega's celebrity stylist of 14 years, the Wednesday star has consistently been clad in couture, with fashion houses like Vivienne Westwood, Givenchy, Ashi Studio and Elena Velez lending dramatic garments for the occasion.
'I definitely feel like I have a bit more Gothic taste than I did when I was a teenager,' Ortega previously told Harper's Bazaar of her evolving style. 'I've always been into dark things or been fascinated by them, but I was a Disney kid, and the whole thing is being bubbly and kind and overly sweet.'
That Ortega is once again serving up sartorial perfection — without leaning into convention — should come as no surprise. It seems no fabric is off-limits to the 22-year-old actress when curating her hauntingly romantic wardrobe: Snakeskin-printed latex and strands of blonde-dyed hair play just as crucial a role as Victorian ruffles and delicate lace when it comes to bringing her eerily elegant style to life. Ortega's propensity for dark femininity also comes through in her now-signature makeup look: a soft smoky eye and bleached brows.
Below, here's everything she's worn so far during her press tour for Wednesday Season 2, which premieres on Netflix on Aug. 6.
Ortega's latest look is the mauve Vivienne Westwood gown with a plunging ruffled neckline that she wore to the Wednesday Season 2 premiere in Paris on July 31. The romantic design was cinched by a sheer corset with exposed boning.
On Thursday, while continuing to promote the show in Paris, Ortega debuted a daring garment from Elena Velez's fall 2025 'Leech' collection: a plunging, slinky beige frock covered in blonde strands of hair.
For the London premiere on Wednesday, Ortega stepped out in a sheer, pale yellow frock from Ashi Studios' fall collection. The couture garment was made of snakeskin-printed latex and featured a body-hugging bodice, high-neck collar and frayed edges.
Archival Donna Karan? Count us in. The same night of the London premiere, Ortega was spotted in a silky, champagne-hued gown from DKNY's resort 2004 collection.
While in London, Ortega put an edgy spin on suiting in a subtly striped charcoal suit from Ann Demeulemeester's fall 2025 collection. The actress posted the ensemble to her Instagram on Tuesday.
Ortega kicked off the Wednesday press tour with a sculptural number by Givenchy: a leather bullet bra with exaggerated sleeves, padded gloves and a long, high-waisted skirt. She sported the look during the show's launch party at London's Natural History Museum on Sunday.

'90 Day Fiancé''s Darcey Silva Considering Downsizing Her Breast Implants: ‘They're a Little Heavy'
"I think sometimes less is more," Silva told 'Page Six'NEED TO KNOW Darcey Silva is considering getting smaller breast implants The 90 Day Fiancé star told Page Six that she and her sister Stacey felt they were "weighed down" by their breast size Darcey is looking for a more "demure" and "feminine" vibe to reflect who she is in this moment in timeDarcey Silva is considering smaller breast implants. The 90 Day Fiancé star, 50, told Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' that after talking it over with her sister Stacey, she might be looking for something smaller when it comes to her chest. After several cosmetic procedures, Darcey reveals she's on a "make-under" journey. 'Stacey and I were thinking of going a little smaller, maybe a size or two down, [with] our breasts,' Darcey said. She continued, "I think sometimes less is more, and I feel like we're petite, anyway. And I feel like they're a little heavy and weighing us down." Darcey is looking for something more "demure" and "feminine" to reflect who she is at this moment in time, she explained. Darcey often traveled to Turkey for her plastic surgeries, as the cost for quality procedures is fairly low. The reality star expects she and Stacey will get their smaller breast implant surgeries done in a few months, alluding to another trip to Turkey. 'We go there for our surgeries and our glow-ups. We're on a longevity journey,' she said. 'We're really excited to continue to do more things and maybe go a little smaller in the boobs towards the end of the year.' In addition to breast augmentations, Darcey and Stacey got "fox-eye" procedures and brow lifts in Turkey, as well as rhinoplasties, jaw enhancements and cheek lifts in the years prior.

Darcey, who also underwent enhancements to her body, explained that it caused more discomfort than facial procedures she's undergone. She recalled her liposuction and abdominal etching procedures were the most painful to recover from. 'It's painful and you're really bruised up so it's not as tolerable,' Darcey said. 'But the boobs, the nose, the face didn't really hurt at all. You just rest. It's not very painful.' Read the original article on People

Sustainable Music Festivals Redefine Summer Fun
Summer music festivals are beloved for their energy and community, but their environmental footprint is significant. As a result, they are under increasing scrutiny for their environmental impact. According to Seaside Sustainability's 2024 report, a typical three‑day festival generates about 500 tons of CO₂, or roughly 5 kg per attendee per day, with the majority of emissions coming from audience travel. Long car journeys and flights make up the largest share, while diesel generators used to power stages and facilities add significantly to the overall footprint. Furthermore, with climate change driving record‑breaking heat waves and increasingly erratic weather, the industry faces a critical question: Can live music become climate‑conscious without losing its magic? Sustainable music festivals suggest the answer is yes. Integrating renewable energy, circular design, zero‑waste systems, and community engagement are ways in which summer fun and climate responsibility can coexist. Sustainable Festivals That Set the Tone for Summer 2025 The festivals that have already taken place this summer have done their part to prove that music and sustainability can coexist. Feel Festival in Germany championed bike‑friendly travel, a waste‑deposit system, and mostly plant‑based, organic food. We Love Green in Paris ran on solar, hydrogen, and biofuel power with a strict zero‑waste and fully vegetarian approach. Switzerland's Greenfield Festival paired its rock and metal lineup with renewable energy, reusable systems, and aggressive recycling. Austria's Paradise Garden Festival powered its stages entirely with local wind and solar, promoted train travel, and served seasonal vegetarian cuisine. Together, these events show that cultural celebration can leave a lighter footprint on the planet. Upcoming Summer Sustainable Festivals Øyafestivalen has spent over 20 years building a reputation as one of the world's most sustainable music festivals. According to its organizers, the event operates entirely without fossil fuels, relies on permanent site infrastructure to reduce waste, and serves local, organic food to cut transport emissions and support regional producers. Since 2023, its sustainability strategy has expanded to include diversity, equity, inclusion, and community engagement, making social responsibility as central as environmental care. Deep Tropics is a green North American music festival. According to the festival's 2024 sustainability report, it diverted 87% of waste, preventing 7,387 pounds from reaching landfills, and planted 101,000 trees, offsetting more than 2,000 metric tons of CO₂. The festival operates with zero single‑use plastics, stainless steel 'Infinity Cups,' and is moving toward 100% renewable power. Its Sustainability Summit which begins on August 14th explores how music and environmental stewardship intersect, featuring discussions on regenerative urban design. It will also feature artist Merchant, who also brings climate‑focused themes to his music, panels, wellness sessions, and a sustainable fashion show highlighting circular, zero‑waste design. Summer 2025 has shown that music festivals can keep their magic while cutting their environmental toll. Sustainable events like Feel Festival, We Love Green, Greenfield, Paradise Garden, Øyafestivalen, and Deep Tropics prove that renewable energy, zero‑waste systems, and local, plant‑forward food can turn celebration into climate action. The future of live music belongs to festivals that leave more than memories, but also leave a lighter mark on the planet.
