The American actress jetted out of Sydney on Sunday, and she dressed casually for the long flight after donning an array of Gothic ensembles during her visit.
The 22-year-old showed off her trim pins in a pair of denim short shorts, while staying warm in a black leather coat from Gimaguas.
Jenna added a chunky pair of black, leather biker boots from Dior and carried a Hammitt handbag.
The natural beauty appeared to have on minimal makeup and shielded her eyes with a pair of oval sunglasses.

The casually chic ensemble was much more subdued than the elaborate, edgy looks Jenna donned during her promotional tour in Australia last week.
While in Sydney, Jenna and the cast of the Netflix hit series Wednesday dropped a major spoiler for the upcoming part two of the second season.
Jenna was joined by her co-star Emma Myers for the event, held on Sydney's Cockatoo Island.
Also on hand was Hollywood director Tim Burton, who also serves as executive producer for the cult series.
But the heart-stopping moment came when Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a moon backdrop.
Gwendoline announced to the shocked crowd that her villain character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, would be back from the dead in the second part of season two.
'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily! I was never gone. You just stopped looking,' Gwendoline told the audience while in character.
Meanwhile, Jenna wowed onlookers in a daring ensemble which featured a hairy black and white overcoat, a matching shirt, and lace-up high boots.
Sporting her signature 'Goth' look for the event, held on Cockatoo Island, Jenna wore her long dark locks out in a 'messy' chic style.
'It's such an honour,' Jenna said about the role, which has brought her global attention.
'Oftentimes, you don't get to revisit your character, so to be able to do it with someone like Wednesday. I feel very, very lucky.'
During the promotional event, Burton, 66, revealed how closely he identified with the character of Wednesday, who has her origins in The Addams Family cartoons from the 1930s.
'I love the character,' the director of Beetlejuice and Ed Wood said.
'I agree with everything she says, everything she feels about family, school, psychiatry and society, so that's why we're here in this beautiful place. It's something I really identify with.'
Also at the launch were Wednesday's creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.
Wednesday dropped on Netflix with four episodes on August 6, while part II of the series will premiere on September 3.
The first four episodes of Wednesday's second season debuted to critical acclaim at the beginning of the month
The show, a spin-off from hit comic series The Addams Family, made headlines in 2022 after its first season nabbed the number one most popular English-language TV title ever on Netflix , according to Variety
Jenna was earlier living up to her Gothic character as she went for a quick wade at Bondi Beach on Wednesday.
The star, who flew into Sydney this week, stopped by the iconic seaside location on Wednesday and couldn't resist a dip.
Dropping by in between promotional duties for the hit Netflix series, Jenna was clad head-to-toe in black leather - but that didn't stop her from experiencing the ocean.
Jenna slipped off her boots but kept her long, leather trench coat and her sunglasses on as she took advantage of the sunny weather and soaked her feet.

Woman left 'nearly decapitated' after dress with build in scarf gets caught in car
A woman has issued a stark warning to individuals who own a dress with neck scarves. While the style has become increasingly popular in recent times, a scarf almost caused a severe accident for Eli Moulton from Australia. The mother-of-two was attending the opening of a BMW garage in Glenelg, South Australia, in a flowing black dress she had rented via Plus One Dress Hire. After posing for glamorous Instagram photographs, the dress caused some trouble while she was getting in her car on the way home. 'A reminder for the ladies,' Eli wrote, adding, 'Remove your neck scarves before entering or operating any heavy machinery. '[I] nearly decapitated myself getting the scarf tangled underneath the car on the way home.' In the post, Eli shared herself at the event before showing the severe, red burn-like marks around her neck. She added in the video, 'The dress that had me in a chokehold,' while turning her head to reveal the painful mark. It comes after a woman claimed a tank top purchased from Shein reacted with sun cream, leaving her with 'agonising', vest-shaped burns and putting her at risk of 'nightmare scarring'. On July 18, Soraya Young travelled with her boyfriend George Harris, 26, to Marmaris, Turkey, for a 12-day getaway as a break from renovating their house. The 25-year-old, from Nottingham, East Midlands, had purchased a £4.99 pack of three tank tops from Shein in April in preparation for the warmer weather, taking care to wash the vests before packing them. The civil servant, who regularly applied SPF 30 sun cream while away, decided to wear one of the tops over her bikini to maintain a 'modest' appearance during a five-hour visit to the town. The following day George spotted a 'weird burn' on her back, which the pair initially assumed was sunburn. But the 'tank top-shaped' burn began to blister and 'leak fluid', Soraya said, leaving her in 'agony'. The pain was so severe that she was forced to consult a local doctor who apparently told her that the burn had likely been caused by the top's fabric reacting with the sun or the chlorine from the pool. After 'sobbing' in pain during her flight home on July 29, Soraya visited a UK doctor who prescribed her antibiotics and cream to soothe the burn. Now, Soraya fears she'll be left with permanent scarring and urges people to 'think twice' about buying cheap clothes. Shein said it was the first complaint of this nature they'd received, but that they have removed the item from their website 'as a precautionary measure' while they investigate. Soraya said: 'It definitely ruined the end of the holiday when it began to get horrendously painful. 'I wore the top over my bikini to try and be a bit more modest. I didn't notice anything until the next day when we went on a boat trip. She recalled that George had pointed the 'weird' burn out to her but, assuming it was sunburn, she didn't perceive that it was in the shape of a vest. 'As the days went on, it started to get more and more sore,' Soraya continued. 'It started to blister and it was red raw. 'When I was trying to sleep at night it was agony. It began to leak fluid towards the end of the holiday. 'If I moved my arm, it made me wince so I was trying not to move my arms and head 'George picked up on why it is in the shape of a vest. Obviously with sunburn it would be around the sides like my shoulders and back.' In pain, Soraya visited a doctor in Turkey and claimed he said the burn was caused by her tank top. Soraya said: '[The doctor] took a look at it and was absolutely gobsmacked. I was pretty shocked and panicked and I thought, 'What have I done?'. 'The worst part is not only the pain but the actual shape of it. It looks like I'm permanently wearing a vest.' After a painful flight home, she visited a doctor who she says also claimed the vest was the culprit and prescribed her with antibiotics and cream to apply multiple times a day. Soraya said: 'I just wanted to get some sleep [on the flight] because I'd been awake all day but trying to sit back on the [plane] chair was absolutely unbearable. 'I was sobbing, I couldn't exactly take my t-shirt off in the middle of the flight. '[The doctor] said, 'It's obviously a burn'. I showed the doctors the vest and they said it definitely has something to do with it because of the shape it's in. 'I'm just paranoid about it scarring. It's a nightmare.' The fashion lover is now urging people to 'think twice' before ordering budget clothing. Soraya said: 'I'm surprised because it's such a popular brand. I washed the clothing before and I've never had any issues with it until now. I'll never buy anything from Shein again. 'The thing that worries me is lots of people buy stuff for children there. Children's skin is a hell of a lot more sensitive. I was thinking 'imagine if that was a child'.' A Shein spokesperson said: 'Shein takes product safety very seriously and is committed to offering safe and reliable products to its customers. Since becoming aware of this claim we have removed the item from our site as a precautionary measure while we investigate. 'Shein works closely with international third-party testing agencies such as Intertek, SGS, BV and TUV SUD to ensure compliance with product safety standards. This is the first complaint of this nature that we have received for this item and we are taking it very seriously.' A Shein spokesperson since added: 'The product has been tested in accordance with SHEIN's protocol, by independent, third-party testing agency, SGS. Based on the report, all the tested parameters relevant to REACH [Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals] chemical restrictions have passed the specified limits.'

Betty Grumble's Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t review – nude, lewd and confused
This experimental act from Australia knows how to create merry anarchy with incantatory rituals and boundary-free explicitness. Performance artist Emma Maye Gibson, otherwise known as Betty Grumble, warns us about the nudity but this might not prepare some for what comes. A gigantic 'pussy print' hangs behind her on the wall and at one madcap moment she begins making imprint smudges of her own vagina on paper to hand out. A (hopefully fake) turd on a plate is eaten with knife and fork. There is a frenzy of naked skids across the floor and a performance of masturbation that feels oddly earnest. None of it is especially shocking or dangerous, perhaps because it comes in the spirit of fun, and accompanied by synth pop beats from 'hot assistant' Chris Slist (Megana Holiday). Gibson has abundant warmth and easiness but the show is slow to get going in terms of pace and focus. Her alter ego remains an assemblage of outre wig and mask, rather than a fully assumed identity, so feels slightly redundant. The central problem, though, is the lack of story and context. Gibson introduces the show by speaking of her grief for the Palestinian-Lebanese poet and activist Candy Royalle, who died in 2018. She also mentions her experience of domestic violence. The riotous lewdness that follows seems like a ritualistic assertion of joy in the face of those things. Yet the grief and abuse stay unknown. There is one very potent scene using music and repeated phrases to summon the dark spirit of a courtroom. It carries great dramatic intensity and you wish for more of this. Even if the show is fragmentary, non-narrative and experimental, it seems too unpinned and lands as an explicit variety act, which may be the desired effect for an artist who defines herself as a sex clown. Serotonin is briefly mentioned; so are revenge and justice. There are bird sounds and disco beats. It all feels random, helter-skelter. But it also embodies the bare-bodied life, soul and spirit of a bacchanal, albeit a strangely safe one. At Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh, until 24 August All our Edinburgh festival reviews

Revealed: How AFL team will use Snoop Dogg as a defence as they try to get their star off the hook for using a shocking anti-gay slur during a match
The Adelaide Football Club is trying to reduce a proposed five-game suspension that is set to be handed to their player Izak Rankine by arguing that the AFL has committed a double standard in booking US rapper Snoop Dogg to perform at this year's Grand Final. Rankine is currently the subject of an investigation after he was accused of making a homophobic slur, allegedly calling an unnamed opponent a 'f****t', during the Crows' three-point victory against Collingwood on Saturday. Talks between the AFL and the Crows regarding the slur have stretched into the fourth day and it is now expected that a decision on his sanction will be announced at some point on Thursday. It is understood that the Crows have been given more time by the AFL to respond to the league for the proposed five-game penalty, which was unveiled by former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire on Tuesday. 'The AFL advises that the Adelaide Crows have requested additional time to respond to the AFL's proposed determinations regarding an alleged incident with player Izak Rankine,' AFL general manager of corporate affairs Jay Allen said in a statement. 'The AFL has granted this request and will provide an update on the matter tomorrow.' The Crows will deploy several arguments in their bid to reduce the severity of the sanction that Rankine will receive. One of those submissions references how the AFL has employed Snoop Dogg for their Grand Final entertainment. The US rapper has a 1998 hit called 'Doggz Gonna Get Ya' which uses the same slur, 'f****t', that Rankine is being investigated for. Snoop Dogg had also published a now-deleted image on Instagram in 2014 that showed two men together, with the rapper adding the caption: 'Go suck ya man n get off my line f.A.G'. However, the US rapper, known also as Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jnr, has stated that he is not homophobic, adding that he has friends who are gay. 'I don't have a problem with gay people. I got some gay homies,' he said in an interview with The Guardian back in 2013. Other footy commentators have called the AFL out on its decision to book the US rapper, considering the league's current stance on promoting a diverse and inclusive culture within the sport. AFL CEO Andrew Dillon published an LGBTQI+ Action Plan earlier this year in which the footy chief wrote: 'I want to be clear: there is absolutely no place for homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia – or any form of discrimination for that matter - in our game, workplace, or society.' The league has taken a strong stance against homophobia in the past two seasons by handing out heavy suspensions to multiple players. West Coast's Jack Graham was suspended last month for four games for making a 'highly offensive' homophobic slur towards a GWS Giants player. Sydney youngster Riak Andrew was suspended for five matches for a homophobic slur made in a VFL match. The Crows are set to put multiple arguments to the AFL. They will also claim that Rankine's remorse over the matter should be taken into consideration when assessing whether there should be a reduction in his suspension Several other players were suspended last year, with Suns player, Will Powell, receiving a five-match ban and Jeremy Finlayson, of Port Adelaide, being handed a three-match ban. The Crows, meanwhile, are on the cusp of playing in finals this year, with the premiership hopefuls looking to break their 27-year wait for a flag. However, it is looking likely they will be without small forward Rankine for the postseason fixtures. The 25-year-old has been a crucial cog in Matthew Nicks' side's surge to the top of the AFL ladder, booting 31 goals this season while also averaging 20 disposals a game, an above-average figure for the league this season. The Crows will to also argue arguing that Rankine has shown remorse by choosing to phone the Magpies player he allegedly made the slur to on Sunday morning to apologise. It comes as Tex Walker revealed this week that he had called his team-mate to check in on him and revealed that the contrite forward will 'accept whatever comes his way.' 'He's very remorseful and he understands that he's made a mistake and he'll accept whatever comes his way,' Walker told Triple M. 'He hasn't been outside. He had a full day of investigation with the AFL yesterday. 'We will support Ranks, however, we don't agree with what happened.' The Crows will also submit that Rankine was provoked by an incident with Dan Houston, in which the two players engaged in a heated war of words on the pitch. It came after Houston had knocked Rankine out during the Showdown clash and copped a five-week ban for the collision. The details of their conversation have not been revealed but it is understood that Houston had made reference to Rankine being carried off the field last year. Adelaide will face North Melbourne in their final regular-season match of the 2025 campaign. They are also arguing that suspensions for finals matches should be given greater weight than regular-season games. Collingwood boss Craig McRae revealed that he has checked in on the player subjected to the alleged homophobic slur. 'Yeah, I think so,' he said, when asked if the Collingwood player was OK. 'We had a good chat over the weekend and then again Monday morning just to check in, it's about making sure our players are safe,' McRae told reporters on Wednesday. 'But I don't want to demonise Izak either. 'Everyone is allowed to make mistakes, and the young lad seems like a really respectful young man and he's made an error.
