Jenna Ortega doesn’t exactly gravitate toward pastels. While she may not be as exaggeratedly goth as Wednesday Addams, the actor definitely has a real-life penchant for deep shades, often sporting dark ensembles and wearing her hair almost or actually black. For a second, we thought she might be softening up a bit when she showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party in a wispy, gold gown, a sheer taupe manicure, and a warm, subtly auburn hair color. But it seems that was short-lived.
On Tuesday, March 11, Ortega arrived at a special screening of her new movie, Death of a Unicorn, wearing a strapless, asymmetrical, black David Koma dress. Even if she’d skipped the beauty steps, that dress alone would have left onlookers in awe, but she took her glam-goth look to a truly stunning level with her hair and makeup, the latter of which featured a gorgeous graphic, black eyeliner look by Vincent Oquendo.
It seems Ortega’s hair color has taken a cool turn—literally and figuratively—with a nearly black look. But when we say nearly black, we don’t mean dark brown. When the light hits it just right, you can see that there are super dark glints of deep, garnet, made especially radiant by how straight and reflective Bobby Eliot styled it.
