Jenna Ortega Debuted Auburn Hair and Doe Eyes at the 2023 Golden Globes

With a viral TikTok dance and covetable goth style in tow, Jenna Ortega almost needs no introduction. The Wednesday star became a household name in 2022 when she graced everyone’s screens with a creepy-yet-lovable performance and a dance sequence she choreographed herself that took the entire world (and internet) by storm. And this year’s 2023 Golden Globes is recognizing her, too, as she’s nominated for Best Television Actress in a Musical/Comedy Series for her role as Wednesday Addams in the Netflix-original series directed by Tim Burton.

Since Wednesday’s premiere in October, Ortega has been rocking goth-inspired outfits virtually everywhere, from late-night shows to red carpets, which is why her frothy nude gown is a refreshing departure from her recent Addams Family vibe. She wore a gorgeous tan Gucci gown with crisscrossed cutouts, a dramatic train, and ethereal pleats. Three necklaces, courtesy of Tiffany, including an edgy interlocking snake design, completed the look. I mean, she couldn't go a whole night without at least one nod to her spooky Wednesday roots, right?

As for beauty, the actress debuted a more polished take on her recent wolf cut, keeping her hair sleek and shiny instead of tousled. "We took a little risk, but I believe it’s good to have fun and try new things by just tweaking a little here and there," says celebrity hairstylist David Stanwell of the Golden Globes look. After drying and setting Ortega's hair with velcro curlers, he used Fekkai's Clean Stylers Flexi-Hold Hairspray ($12) to give her hair volume and hold. "We didn’t want it too rigid or set, and I still wanted to work with the haircut we had just done a few weeks ago," adds Stanwell. Clearly, Ortega is getting in on the winter copper trend early, going a little more auburn than Wednesday's black with her color for the Golden Globes red carpet.

To finish the look, Ortega's makeup artist, Vincent Oquendo, kept her glam soft and simple with a glowing complexion and subtle bronzer. For eyes, he went big with her lashes, getting in on the doe eyes trend with a light highlight on her lower waterline and Morphe's Always Online Gel Liner ($6) on her outer corners. A nude gloss—specifically, Morphe's Make It Big Plumping Lip Gloss ($12)—tied the whole look together, tying her makeup to her cappuccino-colored dress.
