If you’ve been enjoying, as I have, the playfully goth turn Jenna Ortega has taken with her red carpet looks of late, you can thank Wednesday Addams, whom she played in Netflix’s Wednesday. According to Ortega herself, it’s no accident that she appears to be channeling the character’s signature creepy and kooky personal style into every public appearance she’s made since the show premiered.
“I do think that Wednesday changed my taste a lot,” Ortega acknowledged in an interview with InStyle. “I have a hard time getting her off of me, at least clothing-wise.” She added, “It’s also something that I’ve always wanted to do. I just never felt like I could. I feel like there were always a lot of voices and opinions that I used to place too much value in.”
