Jenna Ortega has turned her 'Wednesday' Season 2 press tour into a theatrical runway event, and she continues to captivate fans and fashion lovers with her stunning looks. But while her style has everyone excited, it hasn’t come without a few stumbles, quite literally.

Her longtime stylist, Enrique Melendez, revealed on Instagram that the star had trouble getting up the stairs during one of her appearances in Seoul, as her ensembles included a skin-tight black crocodile-embossed patent leather pencil skirt from Dilara Findikoglu’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection.

“As I let her struggle up the stairs in a super slim pencil skirt to take a video,” Melendez captioned the clip of Jenna inching upward, fully committed to the look. Despite the wardrobe challenge, the outfit was one of her most jaw-dropping moments.

Jenna Ortega embraces macabre minimalism in Ann Demeulemeester.

“Jenna's personal style is super simple, super streamlined. She would wear the same thing if she could every single day,” Melendez told The Hollywood Reporter. “I tell her thank you, because a lot of times, it's just for me.”

Melendez also emphasized how Ortega’s artistic personality plays a role in shaping her fashion narrative. “She appreciates the arts, a cinephile, music... I think after Wednesday came out, it just became her thing — goth glam — but it wasn't something that we forced or that we tried to do, it was natural.”

How Jenna celebrated Season 2 of 'Wednesday':

Jenna has kept fans excited with each press stop. Her now-viral appearance in London at the show’s global premiere in late July proved to be one of her boldest. She wore a sheer, skin-hugging Ashi Studio gown from the designer’s Fall 2025 collection, featuring a nude snakeskin illusion with a peplum skirt and lace-up back. Her hair was knotted up, with extensions trailing down to her waist.
