Jenna Ortega Sheds Gothic Glam for Casual Chic on Sydney Departure!
Jenna Ortega's Australian Adventure: A Sneak Peek into Wednesday's Bizarre World
Get ready for a dose of darkness and drama as Netflix's hit series Wednesday continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The talented Jenna Ortega, who plays the show's titular character, has been jetting around Australia, leaving fans in awe with her edgy style and sizzling performances.
The 22-year-old actress recently flew out of Sydney, bringing an end to her whirlwind tour Down Under. But before she departed, she treated onlookers to a casual yet chic outfit that was a far cry from the elaborate Gothic ensembles she donned during her promotional duties in Australia last week.
Jenna's departure from Sydney marked the end of a busy trip, which included a major spoiler for the upcoming part two of the second season. In a surprise reveal on Cockatoo Island, Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a moon backdrop to announce that her villainous character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, would be back from the dead in the next installment.
"Gwendoline told the audience in character, 'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily? I was never gone. You just stopped looking.'" The dramatic moment left fans stunned and eagerly anticipating the next chapter of the series.
But that wasn't all - Jenna also wowed onlookers with her daring outfit at the event, which featured a hairy black and white overcoat, a matching shirt, and lace-up high boots. Her long dark locks were styled in a "messy" chic look, perfectly capturing the essence of Wednesday's gothic vibe.
Jenna's reaction to reprising her role was nothing short of effusive. "It's such an honour," she exclaimed, basking in the global attention that has come with playing the character. "Oftentimes, you don't get to revisit your character, so to be able to do it with someone like Wednesday... I feel very, very lucky."
But what really set the hearts of fans aflutter was when director Tim Burton revealed his deep affinity for Wednesday's character. The mastermind behind Beetlejuice and Ed Wood shared that he identified closely with the character's anti-establishment views on family, school, psychiatry, and society.
"I love the character," Burton gushed. "I agree with everything she says, everything she feels... so that's why we're here in this beautiful place. It's something I really identify with."
The creator of Wednesday, Alfred Gough, and showrunner Miles Millar were also on hand at the event, adding to the excitement surrounding the series' upcoming release.
Wednesday dropped on Netflix with four episodes back in August, but it was just the beginning. The first four episodes of the second season debuted to critical acclaim earlier this month, cementing its status as one of the most popular TV titles ever on Netflix.
The show's origins date back to the 1930s, inspired by the beloved Addams Family cartoons. Its dark and quirky charm has captured hearts worldwide, with fans eagerly anticipating what's in store for Wednesday and her friends at Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega's Australian adventure may be over for now, but the drama, intrigue, and Gothic vibes of Wednesday are far from it. With part two of the second season set to premiere on September 3, fans can expect even more twists and turns in this bizarre and captivating world.
And if you thought that was all, here's a sneak peek into Jenna Ortega's off-screen escapades...
During her downtime, the actress couldn't resist a dip at Bondi Beach. Ditching her boots but keeping her long leather trench coat and sunglasses on, she soaked up the sun and took in the breathtaking views.
The star's spontaneity and carefree spirit only add to her growing fan base, who can't get enough of Wednesday's dark charm and Jenna Ortega's captivating performances. With more drama, intrigue, and gothic vibes on the horizon, it's safe to say that fans are in for a wild ride with this addictive series.
