Jenna Ortega’s Bold Twist on Beetlejuice Stripes
The famous Jenna Ortega, the actress who plays the role of the mysterious, dark Wednesday Addams in the Wednesday series on Netflix, has again impressed fans with her original sense of style. With the promotional tour of Wednesday Season 2 heating up, the actress has once again and again that her style knows no limits. Her style continues to stir a buzz, whether it is gothic glamour or edgy street chic. But her most recent turnout at the Wednesday S2 Part 2 Fan Event in Sydney, Australia, has given her wardrobe an unexpected twist– a tribute to the legendary striped fashion of Beetlejuice.
A Dark and Dazzling Transformation
Ortega was dressed in a very audacious and mature way on August 16, 2025 at the Wednesday S2 Part 2 fan event. The style was a drastic change to her normal Wednesday Addams style, drawing influence on the crazy character of Beetlejuice, with her own personal form of fashion flair.
Ortega was seen sporting a flashy dress of a completely different style by Fendi, which is striped in pumpkin orange and black, the same color scheme as the famous Beetlejuice character. This fun and stylish design marked a change in her fashion development and the stripes provided a unique contrast to her otherwise all-black attire. The dress was designed in such a way that it is both rigid and flowy, a perfect blend of the sharp and the sophisticated, a reference to the dark comedy and charisma of Beetlejuice, whilst still retaining the personal style of Ortega.

A Touch of Glam Goth
The striped dress was clearly stand out, but it was the accessories that made it stand out. Stylist Enrique Melendez always brings a high fashion and layered complexity to any of Ortegas looks, and this one was not an exception. Otega gave the ensemble a bit of depth with a chocolate and black faux fur and leather coat that added another layer to the ensemble providing comfort and intrigue. The mixture of textures-the smooth leather dress and the fluffy faux fur- was a statement of the increasing adaptability of Ortega in the fashion industry.
Her choice of footwear was equally daring. She was kitted out in khaki and black gradient ankle boots with silver spiked heels and dinosaur like spikes running up the spine of the boots. The boots also added a rare kind of flair to the ensemble, making an otherwise conventional fashion choice into something very Ortega: daring, bold, and full of personality.
Along with the footwear, Ortega wore a set of silver and gold necklaces and rings by some of the best designers including Martha Calvo, Rainbow K, and Yvonne Leon. These fine jewelry pieces added just the right dose of glamour to this outfit counterbalancing the edgier elements with a dose of luxury.
A New Era for Gothic Fashion
Jenna Ortega has been more recently experimenting with a more gothic glam look. Ortega has previously favoured dark and sleek colors, where sharp tailoring and avant-garde designs are utilized. Her transition to a fashion icon has however been defined by her daring to be more of a statement-making dresser with a unique blend of classic goth and high fashion.
Ortega has an influential stylist in Enrique Melendez who has helped her to develop her fashion identity. Combined, they have created a wardrobe that is not only goth-inspired, but modern and moving too. All the shows have given Ortega a chance to play with various elements, dramatic cape to sharp and tailored silhouette. The Wednesday Island Fan Event did not break the trend as Ortega was wearing something that had a bit of nostalgia and something futuristic.
From Wednesday to High Fashion
The rise of Jenna Ortega, a prominent star on Wednesday to a fashion icon is remarkable and very rapid. She was a sarcastic, dark-humored Wednesday Addams who then became a cultural icon because of her fashion off-screen.
Ortega has demonstrated that her fashion sense is as alluring as her performance as she goes through the promotional trail of Wednesday Season 2. Her style preferences show a confident and changing personality- one that is not afraid to experiment and adopt new looks. Whether it is her edgy Matrix inspired leather trench on Bondi Beach or her avant-garde gowns, Ortega has continued to transform the role of a goth fashionista in 2025.
Within recent months, Ortega has collaborated with leading stylists and designers, placing her in the spotlight of the fashion industry and catching the eye of industry insiders and fashion magazines. Whether she does it by means of her choice of bright colors, unusual fabrics, or vintage-inspired shapes, Ortega has become a style icon of the new generation.

Elevating the Gothic Aesthetic
In fashion, accessories can make or break an outfit. The stylist of Ortega is very good at picking the items that make her wardrobe more interesting and expressive. A slit-free slip dress, a backless dress or even a sharp-peaked hat, Ortega will often add or take away the slightest of details to give her outfits that extra touch.
For instance, at the Wednesday Island Fan Event, Ortega’s jewelry choices stood out as particularly noteworthy. The combination of silver and gold necklaces, paired with statement rings, added layers of refinement to the otherwise edgy, gothic ensemble. These subtle details reflect a growing sophistication in Ortega’s fashion sensibility, as she continues to experiment with different textures, shapes, and materials.

The Hair and Makeup
Nothing is more complete than the right hair and makeup to complement every look and Ortega always gets it right. Hairstylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez and makeup artist M lanie Inglessis played a major role in making Ortega s vision come to life. Ortega had long and voluminous hair that emanated glamour and goth chic during the Wednesday Island Fan Event. The hair fit the outfit great, being soft and natural in texture (as opposed to the sharp and dramatic lines of her dress).
Makeup was also important in bringing out the peculiarities of Ortega. Her bleached eyebrows were contrasted with a smoky eye, a makeup style that has turned into a trademark of the actress. This smoldering yet gritty makeup style unified all the aspects of the outfit, and it allowed the natural beauty of Ortega to come out because the makeup complemented the darker shades of her clothes.
A Fashion Icon in the Making
The look of Jenna Ortega at the Wednesday S2 Part 2 Fan Event in Sydney proves that she is an unquestionable fashion icon. Ortega has also created her own style with her daring rendition of Beetlejuice stripes to her perfect accessorizing and styling, Ortega has set a new movement of gothic fashion. Ortega is not only an up and coming star in Hollywood, but also a style maker with a sense of style that is unmatched.
