Jenna Ortega’s cool girl star has been bubbling away for some time. While she got her start in Hollywood as a network TV child actor, she’s shaken off the mantle and has become known for her luxe goth fashion and beauty looks on the red carpet.
Ortega has thrilled us sartorially and emotionally with a series of roles in gothic comedies and slashers. She played an ill-fated ingenue Ti West’s 1970s slasher X, a girl on the run in Scream VI. She spearheaded the dark academia trend with her turn as everyone’s favourite Addam Wednesday and is now set to star in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a remake of the 1998 horror comedy.
Four times is a charm, and the role is set to cement Ortega’s status as our go-to girl for moody gothic glamour.
We’re taking a deep dive into our favourite Ortega looks.
