Jenna Ortega Dazzles in Diamonds on the Red Carpet at the 2025 Emmys

Wednesday Addams would never be seen in sequins and sparkles — but striking gemstones that challenge fashion norms? That’s a whole different story. Jenna Ortega embodied her iconic character with an ensemble that was dark, bold, and fiercely stylish at the 2025 Emmy Awards.

The 22-year-old actress showcased significant skin on the red carpet, sporting a midriff-exposing top embellished with oversized, colorful jewels paired with a high-waisted black skirt featuring an eye-catching thigh-high slit as she arrived at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

She completed her Givenchy by Sarah Burton look with strappy black stilettos, pearl stud earrings, a statement ring, and a bracelet by Pomellato on Sunday, September 14.

“It consists of oversized jewels and not much else,” fashion expert Zanna Roberts Rassi explained about her outfit during Live From E!.

The star, who was previously nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2023 Emmys, took on the role of presenter at this glittering event.

To mark the occasion, Ortega radiated edgy glamour with her sleek, dark hair parted down the middle and dramatic makeup, including a bold crimson lip.

Lights, camera, fashion! The 2025 Emmys have started, with stars putting their best foot forward on the red carpet. This year, the awards are hosted at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 14. Stars like Uzo Aduba, Kristen Bell, Quinta Brunson, Ayo Edebiri, and Jean Smart dazzled as they arrived.

“I’d like to think [my glam style] changes, and sometimes it does based on how much time I have or what I’ve got planned later,” she mentioned about her makeup style in a September 12 interview with Elle, just days before the highly awaited event celebrating the best in television.

“For events, I might sport a strong red lip, but I’m not skilled enough with makeup to do much beyond that,” Ortega added. “Every day, I plan to switch up my eyeliner, and it inevitably turns into the same messy black look.”

The brightest stars from television graced Hollywood for the 2025 Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 14. Comedian Nate Bargatze hosted the 77th annual Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. “It’s a tremendous honor to be asked to host such a legendary awards show,” he stated in April. “And I’m looking forward to it!”

Ortega fully embraced her gothic glam this time, moving away from the more playful and flirty vibe she had at last year’s Emmys, where she donned an embellished Dior Haute Couture dress.
