- The Wednesday star is currently doing press for the part 2 of the show’s second season on Netflix.
Think we can all agree that Jenna Ortega’s looks during the Wednesday season 2 press cycle have been out of this world, and she came through once again at the 2025 Emmys. Jenna—who is presenting tonight—arrived wearing a nearly naked look made from multicolored gems from Givenchy by Sarah Burton. She paired the look with jewelry from Pomellato.
Jenna’s been super busy promoting Wednesday/looking amazing at various premieres, and spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the new season. “She’s also one of the few protagonists who is able to get away with that, aside from villains—who tend not to have emotional growth or depth,” she explained. “I actually did an audition for [a Wednesday animated movie] when I was 14, and I didn’t get it. I remember telling my mom, ‘That would be cool to be her though.’”
As for whether she’s like Wednesday in real life, Jenna said, “I think I am? I don’t know. I don’t know why I got this job. I will say maybe I feel even more attached to her now.”
She also chatted about her plans to direct one day and said Tim Burton has inspired her in numerous ways. “The way Tim carries himself on set,” she said. “He’s so polite. He knows everybody’s names. He trusts the team. When I initially started working with him, I would ask him for notes and critiques. He wouldn’t give any. It’s not because he wasn’t trying to be helpful, but he was allowing me the space to find what was going to work for me. It created a greater confidence in myself. I think he really brings out the best in people and allows them to think out of the box, so you want to get weirder and weirder with it. It’s such a joy when someone brings that out of you.”
