She’s stepping away from the dark side.
“Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega, 21, arrived on the Emmys 2024 red carpet wearing an embellished Dior Haute Couture dress that’s a far cry from her character’s preferred dark garbs.
The actress told red carpet correspondent Laverne Cox that the gown — which is comprised of delicate green and purple floral embellishments on top of sheer fabric — is so heavy and structured that it stands on its own.
Working with her stylist Enrique Melendez, she finished off the outfit with an eye-catching diamond necklace, bracelet and ring, and nude-colored shoes.
As for her glam, this time, the star went simple. She wore her short brown hair down with loose waves in a simple middle part.
She kept her makeup natural and fresh, with her freckles on full display.
