Take Notes From Jenna Ortega—This

Jenna Ortega has been a beacon of cool since springing into the mainstream as Wednesday Addams on the eponymous Netflix series. Last night, ahead of the second season’s release (tonight, BTW!), Ortega stepped onto the red carpet at the New York City fan screening wearing a leather-and-lace Ann Demeulemeester gown, per her stylist Enrique Melendez’s Instagram story—a gothic, cool girl theme she’s been keeping on this premiere sprint thus far. What captured my eye the most was the lead’s rockstar-chic, Y2K-inspired makeup that included two millennial beauty trends in a very 2025, Charli XCX way.

Fully rimmed eyeliner and cool-toned concealer lips may have been the norm in 2006, but fashion people have been slowly tapping back into early aughts grunge all year long, giving this seemingly dated look the It-girl upgrade by the likes of Julia Fox, Billie Eilish, and now Ortega. Paired with the star’s tousled raven-brown tresses, this nostalgic party girl look instantly earned a spot in my fall beauty playbook and made me start looking for ways to re-create it on my own.

Ortega’s makeup artist, Lilly Keys, kept the star’s lids simple to complement her bleached brows, letting the dimension come from her sultrily smoked-out eyeliner. The complexion was kept similarly pared back: a sculpting bronze across her prominent cheekbones and toward the inner corners of her brow bones. Keys pulled everything together with a cool-toned, nude-pink lip that feels like the perfect substitute for warm, summery pink pouts. In fact, the whole look is exactly how I’d like to do my makeup this fall, so I’m adding the items below to my cart to re-create it as the weather inevitably starts to turn.
