At the Karl Lagerfeld tribute night, the actress went Victorian-style in a black and white dress that might as well have been pulled from Wednesday Addams’ closet. Is another viral dance coming up?
Jenna Ortega went from rising promise of terror to phenomenon and icon of an entire generation thanks to the success of ‘Miercoles’. The series, released at the end of November 2022, is still the latest hit from a Netflix that has not been in its best shape lately. The actress of ‘Scream 6’ or ‘You’ skyrocketed her popularity and already has more than 40 million followers on Instagram. The truth is that the young star has always sinned sincerity, she said she had been unprofessional in ‘Wednesday’, having improvised part of her mythical dance routine or threatening the team to change the original dance. It was the dance scene that made the series a success and Jenna Ortega a star on social media. It became one of the biggest trends on TikTok, and from there it created a fever that raged for months. Part of the credit also went to the dress, which has a very particular true story, an antique found in a shop window by the costume designer that ended up being the perfect look for Wednesday Addams. The rest was thanks to Ortega’s movements and gaze.
It was quite a success that, we imagine, will have the writers’ room of season 2 of ‘Wednesday’ on the warpath thinking about how to recreate something similar. Well, if Jenna Ortega was the great author of that dance in season 1, she may have already given them the perfect dress for season 2. For all those who can’t wait for a second season, Jenna Ortega has used the Met Gala 2023 and its red carpet to give us the one we love and can take as the first advance of the next season of the successful Netflix fiction.
If the Met Gala 2023 has meant the reunion of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie (more stylish, yes), the iconic HBO series in recent months, it has also meant the revival of Netflix with Jenna Ortega reuniting with Wednesday Addams . Yes, we too would have liked a reunion with her colorful companion Emma Meyers (Enid Sinclair), but you won’t deny that reuniting with herself is much more faithful to her character…
And for those who are eager to see more of the actress, let’s remember that Jenna Ortega spoke of her final decision to leave ‘You’. However, she will also have a leading role in the Hollywood adaptation of ‘The House of Bernarda Alba’ alongside Camila Mendes, another of the Latinas of the moment in Hollywood. Of course, few know how to wear the mourning look better than her.
