Jenna Ortega looked sensational in a black and white deconstructed tuxedo style dress at the World Premiere of Scream six world. The actress has reprised her role as Tara Carpenter in the Scream franchise and stunned on the red carpet with her undone wavy hair and adding a touch of colour with a bright red lip.
The 20 year old actress has become one of Hollywood's ultimate fashion icons in only a short space of time. Since appearing in the Netflix series Wednesday Addams, Jenna has come away from the Disney girl next door style and embraced the gothic style of her character.

She would often be spotted wearing colourful and bright floral dresses or jeans and jackets. Her hair and makeup would be subtle and on the natural side which was perfect for the teenager.
Now it seems the actress has fully embraced her Wednesday role so much that she has embodied the gothic style. At award shows and TV appearances, Jenna tends to go for black outfits with sheer material or lace trims.
At the premiere for the Netflix series, Jenna went full on goth with a black satin dress with thigh high split and matching black veil. Finishing the look with heavy dark eyeliner and deathly stare. Jenna’s style even started the ‘Wednesday-core’ trend we see on Tiktok.
Occasionally the actress doesn’t completely shy away from colour such as at the 2022 Met Gala when Jenna wore a pink Valentino jewelled top and pink leggings. At The Golden Globes, Jenna wore a pinkish brown Gucci dress.
However, somehow the Wednesday Addams style hits different and Jenna has now developed her style and become the ultimate fashion icon.
