Jenna Ortega Wore A Dreamy Cage Dress At The 2024 Emmys

The 2024 Emmy Awards were a big night for Jenna Ortega, who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series. And although she was nominated for playing goth icon Wednesday Addams, her red carpet look couldn’t be further from it.

Shedding her kooky alter-ego’s moody aesthetic, Ortega donned a creamy green creation with the most delicate floral embroideries.

Jenna’s Structured Cage Dress

In Netflix’s Wednesday, Ortega’s dress code was decidedly goth girl: black and punky. And while Ortega has also had a goth phase IRL, often dressing identically to her character, she’s been pivoting to the opposite aesthetic as of late. Whites, florals, lace — the daintier a look, the better. Her Emmys dress was yet another embodiment of this shift.

Her strapless Dior number featured a ’50s-style teacup silhouette and a whimsical caged skirt with visible boning. All over her dress bloomed the most intricate embroideries — small flowers growing on a chainlink fence. The semi-sheer number was delicate, ethereal, and utterly romantic.

Jenna’s Sparkly Accessories

Ortega merchandised her ensemble with a necklace, bracelet, and rings that were all encrusted with diamonds.

Another source of bling? Mesh pumps that were embellished with intricate beading. Like her dress, the heels were also utterly see-through, recalling the massive mesh shoe trend that dominated last summer.

While fashion girls loved her Wednesday era, this new style path is top-tier.
