Jenna Ortega, a true gothic icon, was seen outside her New York hotel in a deconstructed (and utterly stunning) Elena Velez dress.
There is a moment, just before a celebrity steps into a car, when a look is captured in its rawest, most authentic form. It’s not the red carpet, but it’s the real runway. On August 5, 2025, that moment belonged to Jenna Ortega, who stepped out of her New York hotel in an ensemble that once again cemented her status as the queen of modern gothic. And what a look it was.
Jenna Ortega, in an absolute style coup, unveiled a dramatic Ann Demeulemeester look for the Wednesday Season 2 premiere (and the gothic gods are smiling).
There is a precise moment in a celebrity’s career when they stop being just an actor and become a genuine style icon. For Jenna Ortega, that moment arrived with her ongoing Wednesday press tour. It’s a journey that has seen her embrace a nuanced, deeply personal form of gothic glamour, and her look for the Wednesday Season 2 premiere in New York on August 5, 2025, was nothing short of a masterpiece.
Bar Refaeli, embracing playful elegance, debuted a series of intimate (and frankly, stunning) shots in the June 2012 issue of Czech Esquire.
Some photoshoots are about clothing. Others, about the absence of it. But in the June 2012 issue of Czech Esquire, Bar Refaeli’s editorial is something else entirely: a masterclass in the art of the tease. It’s a series of images that feel like an intimate conversation, captured with an almost nostalgic cinematic flair that harks back to a more glamorous, less-is-more era of seduction.
