Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers—the dynamic duo from Netflix’s hit show—unveiled a pair of strikingly different yet equally powerful looks, a study in “Doom Tour” contrasts, at the Natural History Museum in London.

There are moments when a red carpet moment transcends mere fashion and becomes, instead, a cinematic statement. At the Natural History Museum in London, Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers, stars of the critically acclaimed series Wednesday, did precisely that, transforming a press tour into a goth-glamour spectacle. Their portraits, captured on the grand, almost-cathedral-like staircase of the museum, felt less like a photo shoot and more like the opening scene of a dark, romantic thriller.
Jenna Ortega debuted look
Jenna Ortega debuted a look of defiant, almost playful elegance. Her two-piece ensemble, a custom creation, features a cropped, bow-accented bustier and a voluminous, A-line skirt, both rendered in a densely textured black tweed that catches the light like a night sky full of stars. The look—equal parts ingenue and femme fatale—was a clever nod to her character’s aesthetic, but with a grown-up, couture edge. She completed the look with a pair of delicate, barely-there black heels and dark, retro sunglasses that she held with an air of sophisticated mischief. It was a look that whispered, not screamed, its power.
Emma Myers debuted look
Then, there was Emma Myers. Her look was a sharp, dramatic counterpoint, a bold, architectural statement that commanded the space. She wore a sleek, black leather corset and a slim, high-waisted pencil skirt with a subtle white trim at the hem. The true showstopper, however, was her sleeves: two massive, sculptural puff sleeves, also in black leather, that looked like they were inflated with attitude. The overall effect was powerful, almost intimidating, with a hint of futuristic menace. The sharp angles and rigid materials created a fascinating tension against the historic backdrop of the museum.
Is this the new face of celebrity fashion? The deliberate rejection of predictable glamour in favor of something more stylized, more narrative?
Both actresses were styled impeccably, their hair and makeup narratives tying everything together. Ortega’s hair was pulled back into a simple, sophisticated updo, while Myers wore her hair down with a center part and a smudged, smoky eye that enhanced the fierce mood of her ensemble. Together, they presented a compelling visual dialogue—Ortega’s “Velvet Rebellion” against Myers’s “Cyber Romance”—a masterclass in character-driven style. Much like other popular celebrities, they are using their platform to push the boundaries of style and influence new trends.
