Jenna Ortega sports schoolgirl socks with patchwork suit for Thom Browne’s 20th anniversary dinner in NYC
Jenna Ortega evoked her Nevermore Academy schoolgirl character Wednesday Addams in an ensemble hand-picked by designer Thom Browne for his 20th anniversary dinner in New York City on Monday.
The 21-year-old former Disney Channel star wore girlish white knee-high socks with a silver sequin patchwork shorts suit over a screen-printed top with tie and collar, and patent leather platform boots.
Jenna – who sported her brunette locks – carried a matching Thom Browne patterned purse and wore statement earrings.
Ortega showed off a dimpled smile, minimal makeup and just a little mascara and sparkly shadow to bring out her brown eyes.
The Emmy nominee made sure to pose with the 58-year-old man of the hour, who was promoting his 420-page untitled monograph, which was published by Phaidon Press last Wednesday.

Thom – who calls Jenna ‘my birthday twins’ – famously enlisted her to represent his US fashion house at the Met Gala Honoring Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty on May 1.
At the cocktail party, Ortega mingled with The Real Housewives of New York City star Jenna Lyons, who opted for a traditional blazer over a pleated skirt, calf-high socks and wingtips.
Everyone there was fit and well-rested, including Brooklyn singer King Princess and Highsnobiety editor-in-chief Willa Bennett.
The Adidas brand ambassador also spoke with Rosaline actress Isabela Merced during the fashion festivities.
At one point, Jenna was seen pointing an old-fashioned camera at a dapper partygoer as she sat sideways in her chair at the dinner table.
Ortega will next play Mabel, a woman caught between debt-ridden fishing brothers (Toby Wallace and Ben Foster), in Brian Helgeland’s crime drama Finestkind, premiering December 15 on Paramount+.
The Cali native will also play the daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) in Tim Burton’s highly anticipated comedy sequel Beetlejuice 2, set to hit US and UK theaters on September 6, 2024, alongside Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe.
For her deadpan performance as Wednesday Addams, Jenna will compete for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series trophy at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, airing January 15 on Fox.
