Jenna Ortega Stuns in Jewels as a Top at Emmys 2025

If looks could kill then Jenna Ortega‘s 2025 Emmy Awards dress would have us all dead. The Wednesday star arrived on the red carpet doing what she does best: slaying. Ortega continued her spooky-inspired parade of looks with a top entirely made of jewels and pearls, paired with a black slit skirt.

Her nearly jet-black hair was pulled back into a pony, and her glam showcased her bleached brows and sharp cheekbones.

Ortega has been ushering us into spooky season with her recent Wednesday press tour looks, from her distressed and ripped charcoal gray bodycon dress to her sheer ultra-realistic snakeskin gown that she wore to the London premiere of the hit Netflix show. The Ashi Studio piece literally resembled a snake shedding it’s skin with its wet-looking latex fabric and fringed hem and peplum details. She paired the head-turning gown with bleached brows and her longest hair in years. During a different event, she took inspiration from the show’s creator in one ‘fit that featured a shirt with a creepy, Tim Burton character-like illustration across the front.

Ortega is among tonight’s list of presenters, which also includes Sydney Sweeney, Sofía Vergara, Mariska Hargitay, Eric Dane, and her Wednesday co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones. Ortega was previously nominated in 2023 for her recreation of the iconic The Addams Family character.

At the 2024 Emmys, Ortega presented alongside Abbott Elementary star, Sheryl Lee Ralph. Ortega’s petticoat-style Dior gown was a total 180 from her usual gothic glam. The tea-length ballgown featured a sheer skirt, visible boning, and delicate floral embroidery.
