Jenna Ortega Wears Fendi to Wednesday Event

The look? A tea-length dress from Fendi’s Fall 2025 collection, which, from afar, appears to be a sleek, high-fashion take on classic Halloween stripes. But look closer, and you see the genius. The dress is composed of sleek, contrasting black and an almost burnt-orange leather, meeting in a sharp chevron pattern at the front. It’s not just stripes. It’s a V-shape, a subtle nod to the weaponized femininity of Wednesday Addams herself, a detail so specific, so perfectly executed, it could only come from a house like Fendi.

She layered this intricate piece with a magnificent, opulent fur coat, the kind that feels stolen from a film noir villainess. The sleeves, cinched with belted details, added a structural rigor that balanced the wildness of the fur. It’s a look that speaks to a certain fearless attitude, a rebellious spirit that doesn’t just embrace the dark side, but makes it chic. The styling was impeccable, with her waist-length hair styled à la Morticia Addams. I adored it. It felt like a tribute without being a costume.

Of course, no look is complete without the proper footwear, and here, Ortega chose to be truly disruptive. She wore a pair of Christian Louboutin’s Kate Max Booty Spikes Claw. The booties, with their dramatic spikes, were the perfect edgy punctuation mark. Paired with delicate fishnet stockings, they completed the look with a dangerous grace that felt both modern and timeless. It’s the kind of styling that makes a true fashion moment… the kind that will be referenced for seasons to come.

But let’s be honest, the true genius here is the fusion. Fendi, a house known for its impeccable leather craftsmanship and luxurious textiles, found its perfect muse in Ortega. Her style, which often leans into the dark and the deconstructed, is the ideal canvas for their elegant rebellion. This isn’t just about wearing a beautiful dress; it’s about a synergy between an actress and a heritage brand. She understands the power of a look that tells a story—a story of sophistication, strength, and just a little bit of mischief.

The beauty of it all, I suppose, is that she makes it look so effortless. As if simply walking onto a purple carpet in a full Fendi look with spiked Louboutins is just… a Tuesday. It’s this casual, confident mastery that sets her apart. It’s what makes us watch. And it’s what cements her as a true style icon of our time, not just for her acting, but for the way she wears a look as if she invented it herself.

The Wednesday Way: Getting the Look

• The Power of Chevron: Don’t be afraid to embrace a bold pattern. The chevron is a classic, but rendered in leather, it becomes an instant statement piece. Look for structured dresses or skirts that use this geometric pattern to create visual interest.

• Layer with Texture: The fur coat was the secret weapon. For a similar effect, layer a textured piece, like a faux fur jacket or a shearling coat, over a simple dress. It adds drama and dimension instantly.

• Don’t Fear the Spikes: Weaponized footwear is not just for rockstars. A spiked boot or heel adds an unexpected edge to an otherwise polished look. It’s the perfect way to signal that you’re chic, but also not to be messed with.

• Monochromatic Magic: Notice how her entire look, from the dress to the boots, stayed within a specific color palette. This is a crucial styling trick. When in doubt, commit to a color story. It keeps the look cohesive and sophisticated, no matter how wild the individual pieces are.

• The Morticia Hair: Simple, waist-length, and sleek. It was the perfect counterpoint to the complexity of her outfit. Sometimes, the best hair is a straightforward one that lets the clothes do the talking.
