Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Season 2 Premiere Dress Stuns
ANYWAY, Jenna has been turning looks lately, from wearing actual glass to referencing a Carrie Bradshaw look.
So it's minimally surprising that the 22-year-old just showed up to the London premiere of Wednesday Season 2 wearing one of her best dresses to date:
The look is fresh from the Ashi Studio Couture Fall-Winter 2025/26 runway, comprising of a waste corset and latex top and skirt. It was styled by Enrique Melendez.
The collection was inspired by a "world in chaos," with a press release noting, "The silhouettes in this collection reflect a range of obsessions and tributes to the past century, an old Paris, the richness of ancient cultures, a sense of decay, or the work of great photographers; yet always touched by contemporaneity."
Amid a sea of nude dresses dominating the red carpet over the past decade, it's personally refreshing to see one that pushes the envelope, doesn't appear over hetero-sexualized, and suits the theme of the event (like, spooky).
As for the makeup, which notably includes the bleached brows look, its by Melanie Inglessis in partnership with Dior.
As for the veeeery long braid, it's done by Cesar Deleon Ramirez.
Consider the evolution from Season 1:
And here's the rest of the cast, for posterity:
An inspiration to short people everywhere!

The Best New TV Shows Coming To Netflix, HBO Max And More In August 2025
While July was a slow month for streaming, August is coming in strong with a jam-packed lineup of new and returning TV shows. From sci-fi horror and spy thrillers to teen romances, there's something for everyone to watch on streaming services this month. The final full month of summer kicks off with Jason Momoa's new Apple TV+ series Chief of War. Based on a true story, the series is set during a time when Hawai'i's four kingdoms were divided by war, leading warrior Ka'iana (Momoa) to embark on a mission to unite his people. Over on Netflix, subscribers can enjoy the long-awaited return of Wednesday — the streamer's most popular show of all time. Lead star Jenna Ortega reprises her role as Wednesday Addams, alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley. Viewers will also be introduced to new characters, including Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley). Perhaps one of the month's most exciting new additions is Alien Earth. FX's haunting series takes place shortly before the events of Ridley Scott's 1979 film, Alien. Showrunner Noah Hawley told The Hollywood Reporter that he's telling a 'parallel' story to the original film. 'It's more taking elements of the original films and expanding them for my own purposes,' he explained. 'It's remarkable how little mythology there is to a franchise six movies deep.' Also coming in August are Disney+'s Marvel Television animated series Eyes of Wakanda, the highly anticipated Outlander prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood, the second season of the teen romance series My Life with the Walter Boys and more.

Jenna Ortega Naked Dress Wardrobe Malfunction
Jenna Ortega stepped out for the London premiere of Wednesday season 2, looking ethereal and completely stunning in a latex naked dress with a subtle snakeskin pattern. She paired the sheer gown with a dark lip, bleached brows, and a long braid—and honestly it has to be one of her best looks of all time. Like, the photos are other-worldly. But because this is THE week for celebrity wardrobe malfunctions, her dress ripped slightly in the front: Though, this is honestly a tiny malfunction in the grand scheme of things, and the photos and look are so beautiful that it's barely noticeable. Other celeb wardrobe malfunctions this week? Jennifer Lopez's entire skirt fell off while she was mid-performance, exposing her gold underwear to the entire crowd. But she handled the moment flawlessly, joking "I'm out here in my underwear. That's gonna be everywhere. "I'm glad that they reinforced that costume. And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear." Meanwhile, Miranda Lambert also had a mid performance wardrobe issue when she was performing and her denim skirt rode up. She took the moment in stride by posting a TikTok of herself walking which she captioned "I've been warning y'all about my backyard swagger since 2014." She also used the line from her 2014 song "Little Red Wagon" that goes 'It ain't my fault when I'm walking jaws dropping like ooooo ahhhh."
