Jenna Ortega graced the Wednesday red carpet premiere and rocked an apt all-black, lacy and stunning look that screamed gothic glamor. The actress, 20, promoted her Addams Family Netflix spinoff in a sultry Versace gown that featured a low neckline, a cut-out lace bodice, a thigh-skimming high slit that revealed her long, toned legs, and a long, elegant train. To complete her look, the Scream star added a spooky black lace veil, a sparkling silver headband, black pumps and shiny silver rings.

Ortega also joined Wednesday director Tim Burton on the red carpet, and spoke to Entertainment Tonight at the event about her look for the evening. She noted that the choice of the dramatic black veil “just felt appropriate.” Ortega added, “I felt like if I was gonna wear black like everyone else, I probably should make a deal out it. I put it on and I just knew that this is probably what I should do.” She continued, discussing the POV of her iconic and beloved, morose character, “I think she would appreciate the veil.”

 

Fan Reactions

Ortega uploaded two photos of herself from the premiere in an Instagram post for her 22.4 million followers, including one close-up shot of her makeup and another full-body pic to show off her full ensemble. In her caption, she wrote, “I know I’m way late with these and they’re out in the world already. I’ve just got to thank @versace and my team for putting me together for the Wednesday premiere. They made me very happy, if you couldn’t already tell.”
