Jenna Ortega and stylist Enrique Melendez aren't just subverting Wednesday Addams's all-black wardrobe on the Wednesday Season 2 press tour. They're also sampling a summer dress trend that fashion editors like me wear all-year-round.
Let's rewind a moment: As the purple carpet unrolled for Wednesday's July 30 premiere, Jenna Ortega arrived in a straight-off-the-runway Ashi Studio couture gown. The high-neck piece combined a clingy, wet-look fabric with the slightest hint of snakeskin—like a serpent's shed skin refashioned into a floor-length gown. The dress elicited gasps from the premiere's London crowd and from Marie Claire editors watching from New York City. And while the dress wasn't all that relatable, I knew it was a capital-M moment. But Ortega had another style trick up her invisible sleeves.
