Jenna Ortega’s Nude Snakeskin Gown at the Wednesday Season 2 Premiere Was Gothic, Haunting, and Worth Every Gasp
Is it a dress… or a spell cast in latex and bones?
Jenna Ortega doesn’t just arrive anymore — she possesses the room. And at the Wednesday Season 2 global premiere in London on July 30, she didn’t just show up… she haunted the red carpet in a gown that looked like it was conjured from a serpent’s last breath.
Wearing Ashi Studio’s Fall 2025 Haute Couture nude gown, Ortega shimmered in a shredded, snakeskin-textured creation that hugged her frame like it was stitched from forbidden magic. With bleached eyebrows, blood-dark lips, and a sleek gothic braid, she gave us Wednesday Addams meets post-apocalyptic couture queen — and fans were transfixed.
Styled by Enrique Melendez, the gown featured tattered yellow-stained hems, a sculptural high neck, corset detailing, and a dramatic train. Its eerie latticework texture made it feel as if the snakeskin had fossilized directly onto her skin. A runway model once wore it completely sheer — but Ortega toned it down with subtle bra cups, proving that even a slight restraint can feel deadly.
And the price of this haunting beauty? While unconfirmed, couture dresses from Ashi Studio often range from $60,000 to well over $80,000 — but can you really put a price on becoming a living legend?
The look embodied everything Wednesday Season 2 promises: darker, bolder, stranger. Ortega’s rising fame — and the pressure it brings — was addressed in her recent BBC interview, where she admitted to feeling overwhelmed but deeply grateful. “You do these things and you don’t know what’s to come,” she said. “It was very overwhelming.”
Yet if she’s overwhelmed, she hides it well — behind smoky eyes, sculpted latex, and a gaze sharp enough to cut glass.
With the first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 dropping August 6, and the remaining four on September 3, all eyes will be on Nevermore. But for now? All eyes are still on Jenna.
