Actress Jenna Ortega, 23, hit the 2026 Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards) red carpet in a look that definitely turned heads. She stepped out in a creamy pearl lace slip dress complete with a thigh-high slit; and yep, it was giving drama. Ortega finished the look with gray knee-length stockings and classic black heels.

GettyJenna Ortega’s Nomination
Ortega is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her work on Netflix’s “Wednesday,” which, it seems like, just keeps winning. The series was renewed for another season ahead of its Season 2 premiere in August 2025. And, according to Tudum, Season 3 officially kicked off production in Dublin, Ireland in February 2026.
Also in the category were Catherine O’Hara (“The Studio”), Kathryn Hahn (“The Studio”), Jean Smart (“Hacks”), and Kristen Wiig (“Palm Royale”). In an emotional moment, Catherine O’Hara ultimately took the win. She was not present to accept the award, having passed away in January 2026, at age 71.
On-Stage, Presenting an Award
Ortega also appeared on-stage, as a presenter, to hand out the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. The honor went to Seth Rogen (“The Studio”), who won against fellow nominees Ike Barinholtz (“The Studio”), Adam Brody (“Nobody Wants This”), Ted Danson (“A Man on the Inside”), and Martin Short (“Only Murders in the Building”).

While the win in her category slipped away this time, the “Wednesday” star is clearly still in her moment. And with Season 3 already in motion, let’s be real… she’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
