"On Netflix's Wednesday, Jenna Ortega's titular character is confined by a strict dress code. After all, private schools, even those for "outcasts" like werewolves, vampires, sirens, gorgons, and more, typically require a uniform. And Nevermore Academy's is pretty standard, demographics considered. All enrollees wear a striped skirt suit, which includes a blazer, a matching pleated midi skirt, a sweater vest, a white button-down, and, finally, a necktie. They're preppy monsters."
"Recently, she channeled her schoolgirl vibe once again, but upped the risqué ante. Instead of pairing a blazer with a matching pleated skirt, she went the unexpected route and skipped bottoms entirely. On Wednesday, Aug. 27, Ortega was spotted in New York in an all-black number, aka Wednesday's entire color palette. Styled by Enrique Melendez, she channeled cool-girl edge in a croc-leather blazer with an oversized fit."
"The Jane the Virgin alum embraced the no-pants trend and ditched bottoms altogether, instead wearing the jacket as a dress with a micro-mini hemline. Pants weren't the only items of clothing she felt were unnecessary, either. While Wednesday's Nevermore uniform entails at least two layers of clothing (plus a tie), she ditched both. Instead, she wore a triangle bra ($98) from lingerie label Fleur du Mal."
Jenna Ortega, known for embodying character wardrobes, revisited Wednesday Addams's schoolgirl aesthetic in real life. She wore an all-black, oversized croc-leather blazer styled as a micro-mini dress, opting to skip traditional bottoms. She paired the look with a triangle Fleur du Mal bra, pointed-toe pumps, a boxy bucket bag, and sunglasses for a streamlined monochrome effect. The look referenced Nevermore Academy's uniform while subverting its layered, preppy rules by removing a skirt, blazer matching, and tie elements to create a high-fashion, risqué spin on the uniform. Stylist Enrique Melendez contributed to the edgy silhouette.
