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.

The 21-year-old recently revealed one of her favorite on-set beauty secrets: a $29 cream from Elizabeth Arden.

“It’s an incredible product,” she told Harper’s Bazaar UK back in November. “I have it with me everywhere … it’s a skin protectant.
