Both pieces were embellished with silver chains. This added a punk-inspired twist to the traditional corset.

Completing the look were a pair of sharp, pointed-toe pumps. This ensured that every inch of her outfit screamed high fashion.

Jenna Ortega’s stylist, Enrique Melendez, was behind the bold choice.

STYLING FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT

Melendez, who also styles stars like Euphoria actor Algee Smith and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress Julia Butters. The designer clearly knows how to dress a starlet for maximum impact.

His work with Ortega has been consistently on point. Each outfit perfectly reflect the actress’s evolving style.

Jenna Ortega’s hair was styled by Bobby Eliot, who opted for dark tresses with curtain bangs. This is a look that’s very on-trend right now.

Her makeup, done by Mélanie Inglessis, was equally striking.

Winged eyeliner, a terracotta rose lip, and matching blush brought out her features. It made her look effortlessly edgy yet polished.

She not only stars in but will also produce the show, according to Bleeding Cool.

“It’s been the best,” she shared, clearly excited about her new role behind the scenes.

“I’ve never really done that on a TV show before and it’s so nice being a part of these conversations.

I love what I do but I’m able to be a part of the background stuff.

I get to decide how blue somebody’s going to be or where the brains go on the floor, what the prosthetics look like.

It’s so much fun, actually.”
