Jenna Ortega's gothic tulle gown is giving Wednesday Addams
It feels like forever ago that Netflix’s Wednesday dropped on screens and delighted audiences, us included. And while a release date for the second series still hasn’t been confirmed (*sigh*), we’re pleased to report Jenna Ortega is back in the spotlight.
The actress kicked off the press tour for her new film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in Mexico City last night [Tuesday 13 August], wowing in her and Wednesday Addams shared trademark gothic style in the process. Seriously, from her preppy patchwork suit to her black sheer Dior look, Jenna has repped many a Wednesday Addams-inspired ‘fit. Long may this aesthetic continue!
But back to her latest look, a tulle nude Vivienne Westwood design featuring a draped neckline, off-the-shoulder knotted straps and an asymmetric voluminous tutu-esque skirt. The nude mesh dress was decorated all over with black PVC lace embroidery in a swirl pattern. Just us thinking this would be the perfect prom dress for Wednesday??
While the dress isn’t quite obvious enough to be considered method dressing (à la Blake Lively’s stream of floral outfits for It Ends With Us), it was no less a fitting choice for Jenna who stars as Astrid Deetz – daughter of Winona Ryder's character Lydia Deetz, the heroine from the original film – in the spooky horror movie, a sequel to the 1988 classic.
The dress is actually vintage Westwood, pulled from the designer’s archives, specifically the spring summer 2009 ‘Do It Yourself’ collection. When it was shown on the runway, it was a full-length garment complete with a floor-sweeping underlayer. However, this had been removed for Jenna which, given her petite 5’1” height, was a great call from her stylist, IMO.
We can’t wait to see what else Jenna has planned for her tourdrobe.
