Jenna Ortega's Reptilian Ashi Studio Dress Rewrites Gothic Glamour at ‘Wednesday' Season Two Premiere in London
Jenna Ortega styled a reptilian-inspired Ashi Studio dress with semi-sheer elements for the premiere of 'Wednesday' season two in London on Wednesday.
The actress, who regularly collaborates with stylist Enrique Melendez, put a spin on her Goth style streak with a snakeskin dress featuring a high neckline. The look, which comes courtesy of Ashi Studio's fall 2025 couture collection, featured a sultry fabric design, creating a molting effect with the snakeskin-like material.

The bodice of the dress featured a fitted silhouette with a cinched waist. The look included a take on layering, with a thin film of snakeskin fabric flowing past the hips, the hem featuring a jagged line like a molting snakeskin.
The remaining part of the dress's design was the floor-length skirt with a slight train. The fabric featured semi-sheer material, creating a nearly see-through effect. An uneven hemline was featured throughout, echoing the molting motif featured with the gown. Ortega accessorized with jewelry by Rainbow K.
Ortega's glam included her dark brown hair casually pulled back with a middle part and a low ponytail courtesy of stylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez. Her makeup included a fresh spin on bleached eyebrows with dark eyes and a mauve lip by artist Mélanie Inglessis.
The 'Wednesday' star's dress made its runway debut as part of Paris Couture Week earlier this July. Curated by designer Mohammed Ashi, the collection put an emphasis on construction and corsetry throughout. 'We always forget that and we go into a story about a concept; here, it's about the atelier, about the craftsmanship,' the designer said, per Lily Templeton's WWD review of the collection.
The second season of 'Wednesday' follows Wednesday Addams, played by Ortega, as she returns to school to solve a dark mystery. Part one of the Netflix series' second season debuts Aug. 6.
