Never one to shy from the shadows, Jenna Ortega’s latest Geek! Magazine spread is a masterclass in gothic defiance—bleached brows, razor-sharp tailoring, and a mood so dark it could eclipse the sun.
Outfit Focus: The Architecture of Darkness
In the September/October 2025 issue, Ortega dons a series of looks that channel both the timeless macabre of Wednesday Addams and the avant-garde edge of modern gothic fashion. The standout: a high-collared, structured black dress with a distressed hem, evoking the frayed elegance of Nevermore Academy’s own decaying grandeur. The fabric—a matte, almost liquid black—clings like a second skin, its texture a whisper of velvet rebellion. Accessories are minimal but potent: a single silver ring, a choker that mirrors the rigid lines of a raven’s wing, and those now-iconic bleached brows, a beauty statement that’s less about subtraction and more about bold, unapologetic reinvention. Her hair, pulled into two severe braids, frames her face like the bars of a gothic window, while her makeup—pale foundation, smudged kohl, and a matte crimson lip—echoes the eerie romance of Tim Burton’s palette.
The shoot’s lighting is all chiaroscuro, casting Ortega in stark relief against a backdrop of ornate, crumbling architecture. The poses are deliberate, almost confrontational: a hand resting on a skull, a gaze locked just past the camera, as if she’s privy to a joke the rest of us haven’t heard yet. It’s not just a photoshoot; it’s a manifesto.
Cultural Context: From Nevermore to Now
This spread arrives as Ortega’s alter ego, Wednesday Addams, prepares to haunt screens once more in the second season of Netflix’s hit series. The show, a love letter to outcasts and Edgar Allan Poe alike, has turned Nevermore Academy into a cultural touchstone, its halls dripping with the same gothic aesthetic that defines Ortega’s off-screen style. The magazine’s visuals lean hard into the show’s lore—candles, antique books, and the ever-present raven motifs—while Ortega’s styling bridges the gap between character and star. As a producer on the new season, she’s not just wearing the look; she’s shaping it, ensuring that Wednesday’s influence seeps into every stitch and shadow
The shoot’s moody grandeur is no accident. Costume designer Colleen Atwood, a longtime Tim Burton collaborator, has spoken about the challenge of modernizing the Addams Family’s signature silhouette while keeping its soul intact. The result? A wardrobe that feels both vintage and vanguard, much like Ortega herself. “It’s about finding the balance between the classic and the contemporary,” Atwood noted in a recent interview, “so the clothes feel like they could exist in Wednesday’s world—or on a red carpet”
Noomi Rapace, ever the master of architectural precision on the red carpet, offered a lesson in powerful minimalism at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. She arrived for the “Bugonia” premiere, her silhouette a study in stark, beautiful contrast—a look that felt both classic and defiantly modern.
A Striking Silhouette
Rapace’s look was defined by a stunning black cape blazer. The cropped jacket, a nod to traditional tuxedo jackets with its pointed lapels and double-breasted buttoning, served as a chic foundation. From its hem, a dramatic, floor-length cape flowed, creating a grand, sweeping silhouette that billowed with every step and commanded the attention of the crowd. It was a bold move—and it paid off.

This was complemented by a pair of expertly tailored, high-waisted black trousers. Their wide, flared cut created a fluid line that elongated her frame and provided a graceful counterpoint to the sharp, structured top. Paired with a white halter-neck blouse featuring a deep plunge, the look subverted the expected masculine formality of a tuxedo, injecting it with an element of effortless femininity and a sense of easy glamour.
Her accessories were chosen with the same sharp intentionality. Simple drop earrings provided a subtle sparkle, while her hair was pulled back into a sleek, polished bun, a choice that highlighted the clean lines of the outfit and her striking facial features. In some shots, she wore a pair of angular black sunglasses, adding a final, rebellious flourish that gave the entire ensemble a cool, mysterious edge.
Lili Reinhart channels quiet rebellion in feathered burgundy and sheer textures—her InStyle Mexico cover is less red carpet, more surrealist lounge noir.
There’s something deliciously off-script about Lili Reinhart’s latest editorial moment. Shot by Graham Dunn for InStyle Mexico’s September 2025 issue, the actress trades Hollywood polish for a moodier, more tactile kind of glamour—one that feels plucked from a David Lynch dream sequence and dipped in velvet.
Reinhart’s ensemble is a study in texture and tonal tension. The deep burgundy feathered skirt—voluminous yet controlled—anchors the look with a sense of theatrical weight, while the sheer, sleeveless top offers a whisper of vulnerability. The interplay between opacity and airiness creates a silhouette that’s both grounded and ghostly. Though the designer remains unconfirmed at press time, the craftsmanship suggests a couture-level attention to layering and movement.
In a sea of predictable editorials, this one dares to be strange, tactile, and quietly cinematic. For more moments that blur the line between fashion and narrative, explore our curated archive of celebrity style .
