Jenna Ortega added a touch of edge and abstraction to her Goth styling streak in Simone Rocha for a “Wednesday” Season Two press conference in Seoul on Monday.
For the occasion, Ortega’s stylist, Enrique Melendez, chose a piece from the spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection that Rocha designed in collaboration with Irish artist Genieve Figgis. The green bodysuit top of Ortega’s look featured a painting of a ghoulish figure bearing their teeth in shades of green.
The Irish designer’s long-sleeve piece included a rounded neckline. Melendez paired the bodysuit with a black skirt featuring a tiered design and contrasting fabric, heightening the Gothic and dark glamour inspiration behind the look. A low-rise belted element with a padlock and key was among the details featured in the overall sartorial statement.

Ortega’s look featured minimal jewelry pieces, opting for delicate rings and a choker necklace. The look was complete with sheer black tights and patent leather mary janes. The actress’ hair was styled with Y2K punk inspiration courtesy of Cesar Deleon Ramirez. Ortega’s makeup was done by Mélanie Inglessis.
Rocha described her spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted as part of London Fashion Week in September 2024, as “a bit more intimate, interesting, and playful.” Figgis’ painting, titled “Lady with a Bird,” featured on the bodysuit as the fifth look in the collection.
“It was a pivotal collection for Rocha, who deflated her signature billowing silhouettes, swapping them for soft, sometimes shiny layers of fabric and knits in a palette that ranged from muted pink to blood red and black — just like those strange, rare swans,” Hikmat Mohammed wrote in WWD’s review of the collection.
Figgis’ fashion collaborations extend beyond her partnership with compatriot Rocha. The artist’s work, which saw a meteoric rise thanks to social media in the 2010s, previously inspired Marc Jacobs’ spring 2019 collection. “It’s like anything can happen in the world and it’s truly about you believing that it can happen, and I was totally open to that,” Figgis said at a dinner in her honor back in 2017.
“Wednesday” follows Wednesday Addams (Ortega) upon her return to Nevermore and her quest to unravel a haunting mystery. Part One of “Wednesday” Season Two is currently streaming on Netflix. Part Two of the season debuts on Sept. 3.
