Jenna Ortega Stuns in Gothic Gown at ‘Wednesday’ Graveyard Gala
Emmy award-winning actress Jenna Ortega, 22, made a striking appearance at the Wednesday “Graveyard Gala” in New York City on August 28. The event, hosted by Netflix and Spotify, celebrated the upcoming release of the second half of Wednesday‘s second season, which premieres September 3.
Ortega commanded attention in a custom GapStudio gown, a purple-gray creation featuring a fog-like pattern, multiple slits, and a daring knotted bodice that revealed a glimpse of a black lace bra. The dress, with its purposefully tattered look, intricate back design, and fringed train, perfectly captured the show’s gothic aesthetic. Ortega completed the ensemble with dark makeup, wet-look hair, and an array of silver jewelry.
Pop superstar Lady Gaga, who will appear in the upcoming episodes, also graced the event’s carpet. The news of Gaga’s involvement was first revealed at Netflix’s Tudum 2025 live event in May.
Ortega’s fashion-forward choices have consistently garnered praise, solidifying her status as a rising style icon. A recent photoshoot with the brand Dilara Findikoglu showcased another daring dress that resonated with her signature gothic style, earning enthusiastic accolades from fans on social media.
