Jenna Ortega’s past few days have been marked by major public appearances, a flood of media coverage, and plenty of social chatter, all centered around the highly anticipated release of Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix and her evolving fashion—and facial—presence. At the world premiere in London on July 30, Ortega generated headlines by arriving in a translucent cream latex gown adorned with snakeskin detailing, styled by Enrique Melendez, who captured the moment for Instagram as she signed autographs for screaming fans. The gothic-glam look, complete with dark lipstick and striking bleached eyebrows, drew widespread attention both on the purple carpet and in fashion media, with Good Morning America spotlighting her as the embodiment of the series’ dark, style-forward aesthetic. The press tour has kept her in the headlines, with outlets like AOL and E! News remarking on her dramatic appearance change—her bleached eyebrows and grown-out fringe were especially buzzworthy at the CinemaCon 2025 Lionsgate presentation, where she rocked a lavender blazer and bold paisley shorts, resulting in some fans hyping the look as edgy or “Blair Waldorf vibes,” and others dismayed by her disappearing brows.

Beyond fashion, speculation has exploded online about her notably sharper and more sculpted face in photos and public appearances, fueling debates about potential cosmetic procedures like buccal fat removal or jawline contouring. Este Medical Group delved into these rumors, but plastic surgeons and commentators generally attribute the change to contouring makeup, red carpet lighting, and the naturally “haunted” look prompted by her Wednesday Addams role. No reputable sources have confirmed that Ortega has had any facial surgery; the consensus among beauty experts and stylists is that her evolving appearance is largely the result of grown-up styling and clever cosmetics.

Ortega has also maintained a strong media presence through lighthearted, fan-oriented promotions. On September 4, she joined Emma Myers for Buzzfeed’s "The Kitten Interview," playfully discussing behind-the-scenes moments and the excitement surrounding Wednesday’s second season while cuddling with kittens—clips that swiftly circulated on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. This builds on her broader impact: her embrace of “Gothic Glam” on red carpets is helping fuel a more mature Y2K-inspired corporate goth trend in high fashion, as noted by AOL’s in-depth look at the style’s spread this fall.

Social media has been more than just style-focused; Ortega recently reflected, in an emotional Variety Actors-on-Actors conversation with Elle Fanning, on the overwhelming nature of online life, admitting to tears and anxiety over how her words or vulnerability can be misused. This honesty has only deepened her connection with both her fans and critics as she navigates skyrocketing fame in the social media spotlight. Her rapid-fire PR calendar, viral style choices, and frank conversations about fame all contribute to what is rapidly becoming another transformative moment in her career, with Wednesday Season 2 poised to be a defining chapter for both Ortega and the Addams brand.
