For the cover shoot, Jenna Ortega wore a Miu Miu minidress with a sophisticated sheen. The dress is made from silk and wool, featuring a straight neckline held up by thin spaghetti straps. Additionally, a black braided trim runs down the neckline in a V shape.

The braided trim culminates in a small bow at the center, described as a fashion show-inspired detail that adds a feminine touch.

Overall, the silhouette is simple and flared. The skirt swings out from the chest and ends at mid-thigh, putting her legs on display. Furthermore, a Miu Miu logo patch sits at the hem, while the dress is lined and closes with a side zipper.

The soft sage-green shade glowed against the lavender walls of the set, with the subtle sheen catching the light. To complete the ensemble, Ortega wore heeled mules adorned with dark floral appliqués that echoed the bow and braided details. Even the backdrop tied in, featuring framed artwork of braids on the wall that mirrored the dress’s braided trim.

Meanwhile, her dark hair was styled in a short, wavy bob. She wore natural, fresh-faced makeup and stood with her hands behind her back, looking straight at the camera with a calm expression.

Interestingly, the shoot contrasts sharply with Ortega’s everyday style. In her profile, she is seen wearing a plain black T-shirt, black cargo capri pants, and flip-flops. Her stylist, Enrique Melendez, notes that she is “not vain at all.” Melendez has been working with Ortega since she was 14.

In contrast, Ortega is known for her theatrical red carpet fashion. For instance, last year she wore a Balmain gown made of metal rulers to the Met Gala. In the story, Ortega discusses growing up on camera and returning for Season 3 of Wednesday. She reflects on an unexpected three-month break last year and mentions that she now has “a little more understanding of myself.”
