Jenna Ortega has once again left us in awe.

Her stunning appearance at the 2023 Met Gala, dressed in a chic and whimsical take on classic suiting, would undoubtedly have impressed fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld.

And what’s more, her inspiration for the ensemble was drawn from none other than her iconic character, Wednesday Addams, from the popular Netflix series.

Ortega stepped out at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in an all-black ensemble adorned with ruffles and rhinestones that added a touch of edgy glam to her look.

She donned a custom Thom Browne creation, oozing with sophistication and style.

The ensemble featured a black corseted dress with a white collared undershirt with side lacing that flowed into a rounded, delicately layered high-low removable skirt fashioned from faintly shining tweed.

Her skirt, which displayed Ortega’s flawless legs, was black and textured on the outside and white and silky on the inside, creating a striking contrast.

The pearl and gold chain patterns on the sides of the cropped long-sleeved jacket and the frills and hemline of the skirt added the perfect finishing touch to the ensemble.

Ortega accessorized her outfit with Marli New York Cleo diamond thin rings and full diamond drop earrings.

Her shoes were an instant standout. She wore the Fall 2022 Thom Browne towering Oxfords, featuring glossy black and white color-blocking uppers with classic wingtip details for a stylish touch.

The black platform soles connected to the sky-high heels created a bold fashion statement and a dramatic increase in height.

Ortega completed her look with black Thom Browne sheer knee-high stockings, white fingerless gloves, and a black and white camellia-topped neck ribbon, paying homage to Lagerfeld’s signature style, fitting for this year’s “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” theme.

Her hair was styled half up, with loose strands falling across her face, and her makeup emphasized her attractive features, including black eyeliner, flushed cheeks, and pink lipstick.

As a rising star, Ortega’s fashion choices are always on point, showcasing her versatility and unique style. Whether gothic-inspired gowns or edgy suiting, Ortega knows how to make a fashion statement.

Since her breakthrough performance in Netflix’s Wednesday, for which she earned a well-deserved Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Television Series, Jenna Ortega has continued to make waves with her bold and daring fashion choices.

Her latest goth-glam ensemble at the 2023 SAG Awards is just one example of her fearless approach to style.

But she’s come a long way since her first red-carpet appearance at last year’s “Gilded Glamour” dress code, which had the theme “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.”

In a monotone pink Valentino creation, Ortega rocked a micro short dress with a long sleeve mock neck, opaque tights, and platform heels. Her hair flowed in waves down to her waist, complementing her vibrant Barbie pink ensemble.

The look was topped off with crystal statement earrings by Chopard and two metal flower clips in the same hue, secured to the sides of her head by Laurel DeWitt and Le Silla.
