The lovely Jenna Ortega is one of the most in-demand actresses working in Hollywood today.
Ortega, 23, shot to fame as a child star in shows like the romantic comedy drama series “Jane the Virgin” and the Disney Channel’s family comedy series “Stuck in the Middle.”
In recent years, she’s established herself as a bona fide scream queen with roles in horror flicks like 2022’s “Scream” and “X,” and 2023’s “Scream VI,” as well as comedy horrors like 2022’s “Studio 666” and “American Carnage,” and 2024’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”
Most recently, however, she has gained international recognition and widespread critical praise for playing the iconic Wednesday Addams in the Netflix supernatural mystery comedy series “Wednesday.”
Even though she’s still very young, Ortega’s fame and profile have taken her to countless red carpets. Here are her best and most sizzling looks from them over the years.

Pretty in Pink

Lady in Red

The star has enjoyed a great 2026 so far, as her career goes from strength to strength. She starred in Cathy Yan’s dark comedy thriller “The Gallerist” and will appear in Taika Waititi’s dystopian sci-fi movie “Klara and the Sun,” which hits theaters in October.
Per Netflix, Ortega is also filming season 3 of “Wednesday.” While the third season doesn’t currently have an official release date, it’s more than likely to hit the popular streaming platform in 2027.
Speaking of which, Ortega will also appear in J.J. Abrams’ sci-fi fantasy film “The Great Beyond” next year.
Her other upcoming projects include the fantasy mystery film “Ghost Writer,” the sports drama flick “Nasty,” and the sci-fi drama movie “Lily May B.” A rumor also suggests she will star in the remake of the 1992 psychological erotic thriller “Single White Female.”
