Jenna Ortega rocks bleached eyebrows at 'Wednesday' Season 2 premiere in London
The 22-year-old actress arrived on the red carpet with bleached eyebrows that matched her sheer, snakeskin-inspired dress by Ashi Studio, giving the illusion of having no eyebrows at all.
Standing beside her co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Fred Armisen, and Emma Myers, Ortega completed the look with a maroon lip and her signature dark hair styled into a relaxed ponytail.
Her eyebrow transformation immediately drew attention, adding a Gothic edge to her already unconventional red carpet presence.
The new appearance aligns with her ongoing efforts to reflect the eerie tone of Wednesday, where she plays the iconic Addams family character.
'I definitely feel like I have a bit more Gothic taste than I did when I was a teenager,' Ortega told Harper's Bazaar in May. '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.'
Reflecting on the challenges of portraying a teenage character while in her twenties, Ortega added, 'It's like how you're dressed in the schoolgirl costume. There's just something about it that's very patronising.'

Hamilton original live cast film to debut in cinemas starting September 5
Lin‑Manuel Miranda has confirmed that the filmed version of Hamilton, featuring the original Broadway cast, will be released in cinemas on September 5 2025 in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. The announcement was made during his appearance on The Tonight Show. Miranda explained that the recording, captured live at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in June 2016, was initially intended for theatrical release. However, the project shifted to streaming during the pandemic and debuted on Disney+ in July 2020. Miranda said, 'So, Sept. 5, you will be able to see Hamilton in movie theatres nationwide.' In addition to the screening in North America, the film is set to open in the UK and Ireland on September 26 and in Australia and New Zealand on November 13. Tickets are now available for purchase. The theatrical version includes a new prologue, "Reuniting the Revolution", with interviews featuring the original cast and creators reflecting on the show's legacy. Director-producer Thomas Kail noted the intention to replicate 'the feeling of being in the Richard Rodgers Theatre' for cinema audiences. The cast includes Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Daveed Diggs as Lafayette/Jefferson, Christopher Jackson as George Washington, Jonathan Groff as King George III, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton. Miranda's interview coincides with the 10-year anniversary of Hamilton, which premiered in 2015 and went on to win 11 Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize. The film rights were reported to have sold for US $75 million, and the Disney+ version earned multiple Emmy wins. A special premiere screening will be held on September 3 at Central Park's Delacorte Theatre, with tickets available through a public donation and lottery system benefiting The Public Theater, where Hamilton originated. This theatrical release represents the next stage in the musical's global celebration and offers fans a chance to experience the original performance on the big screen.

Where is Xavier in 'Wednesday' Season 2? Percy Hynes White's absence explained following scandal
Wednesday season 2 has officially arrived on Netflix, and the show has addressed the absence of Xavier Thorpe, previously played by Percy Hynes White. Xavier, a key character in the first season and romantic interest of Wednesday Addams, is confirmed to have transferred to Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland. Principal Dort, played by Steve Buscemi, informs Wednesday of Xavier's move during the first episode. A letter from Xavier later reaches her, referencing one of his psychic visions connected to the mystery at Nevermore. It reads: 'Consider this my goodbye gift… Don't ask me how I know or what it means, but it's connected to you, I'm sure.' Percy Hynes White confirmed earlier this year that he would not return for season 2, writing, 'I had so much fun working on this show. I can't wait to watch season 2 :) Much love.' While no formal reason was shared by the production, his departure follows accusations of sexual assault made in 2023 on X. The post, now deleted, accused the actor of misconduct at a party. Hynes White denied the claims, calling them 'a campaign of misinformation' and stated that the rumours were false. Meanwhile Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 of which is now streaming on Netflix, also features cast additions, including Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, and Billie Piper.
