Jenna Ortega stunned on the red carpet at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards, showcasing a daring sheer purple gown that left fans "speechless". The 23-year-old star's outfit was not only eye-catching but also meaningful, as she honored her stylist Enrique Melendez with the Future of Fashion Award.
The stunning purple dress featured a plunging neckline, lace detailing on the bodice, and a thigh-high slit that showcased Ortega's toned legs. Her nude underwear was visible through the slightly darker shade of purple material, adding to the overall sensuality of the look. The skirt paired perfectly with a big fuzzy burgundy jacket, silver high-heeled shoes, a drop necklace, and a ring on her right hand.
Ortega kept her hair and makeup simple yet elegant, opting for a dark lip color and her signature bleached eyebrows. Her center-parted hairstyle framed her face beautifully as she posed for photos at the event.
In her speech, Ortega paid tribute to Melendez, crediting him with being "one of the first people who ever made me feel seen or heard". She also opened up about her career as a child actress, describing how strange it is to be a kid in the industry. "Growing up in an industry like this, you learn to become the puppet and stand there and do what you're told," she said.
Ortega's journey from Disney Channel star to international sensation has been nothing short of remarkable. Her portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series earned her numerous award nominations, including Emmy, SAG, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Awards.
As she walked the red carpet at the Emmy Awards earlier this year, Ortega stunned in a daring revealing top that left fans speechless. The outfit was just as memorable as her performance on screen, cementing her status as one of Hollywood's most talented young actresses.
