The fashion world has a new style crush, and it's none other than 20-year-old, California-born actor Jenna Ortega. You might recognise her from roles in Jane The Virgin and the popular Disney Channel series Stuck In The Middle – but it's her most recent role in Wednesday, Tim Burton's Addams Family reprisal on Netflix, and *that* improvised dance scene, that has catapulted Ortega to super-stardom and made her a style star in her own right.

Taking her style cues directly from her Wednesday Addams character and adding a high fashion twist, these are all of Jenna Ortega's most fabulous goth-glam looks to date:

Jenna Ortega's style is the gift that keeps on giving – and it's largely down to her stylist Enrique Melendez, who recently posted one of our favourite of the Wednesday star's looks to date. To do press for her upcoming film Scream VI, Ortega wore an epic head-to-toe khaki suit by Dion Lee, featuring a corseted top and matching trousers plus silver platforms and jewellery by Eéra and Yvonne Leon.

Jenna Ortega went full Morticia Addams to attend the latest Saint Laurent menswear show in Paris. The Wednesday star stunned in a dramatic all-black look, that ticked off both the gothic glamour and hooded dress trends in one fell swoop – while the draped backless detail made for a super-sultry vibe. The star kept accessories minimal to (understandably) keep the focus on the dress, adding only some chunky gold bangles on each arm. It's little wonder fans outside the show went wild upon her arrival.
