New York City – A thrilling night unfolded in New York City as Lady Gaga and Jenna Ortega captivated fans and fashion enthusiasts alike with their striking witchy goth ensembles at Spotify and Netflix’s “Graveyard Gala”. The event celebrated the upcoming Season 2, Part 2 of the hit series “Wednesday.” Both stars made a bold statement on the red carpet, blending edgy aesthetics with high fashion.
The duo’s coordinated looks showcased a perfect harmony of dark glamour and theatrical flair, reflecting the mysterious tone of the series they headline. Ortega stunned in a custom charcoal-colored dress by GapStudio by Zac Posen, whose innovative design elevated a classic T-shirt silhouette with intricate cutouts and distressed details. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga embraced voluminous black couture from designer Anton Femia, accentuated by an eye-catching jeweled corset and an oversized jester-style umbrella hat.
An Edgy Yet Sophisticated Fashion Statement
Jenna Ortega, known for her role as the enigmatic Wednesday Addams, wore a one-of-a-kind T-shirt dress inspired by the Y2K DIY aesthetic. The garment featured a distressed, open-back design with cutouts running down to her hips, enhanced by a subtle black lace bra that peeked through its sweetheart neckline.
Styled by Enrique Melendez, the dress employed a unique wash-house treatment creating a textured play of light and dark tones. Zac Posen, Executive Vice President and Creative Director at Gap Inc., praised Ortega’s look, stating:
“Jenna Ortega embodies the perfect blend of edge and sophistication, mystery and theatricality that makes her such a compelling artist. The look we created allowed us to push the boundaries of what Gap’s cotton jersey T-shirt can become — working in the techniques of slashing, shredding, braiding, knotting and macrame ladder, bringing T-shirt reconstruction to a couture level.”
Ortega’s styling also matched her outfit’s dark vibe, with bleached eyebrows, smoky eye makeup, partially braided hair, and towering black platform boots completing the breathtaking ensemble.
Lady Gaga’s Dramatic Gothic Glamour
In contrast, Lady Gaga donned a dramatic, voluminous black outfit by emerging designer Anton Femia. Her look featured distinctive ruffled sleeves and billowy pants, transformed by a heavily embellished corset bejeweled with striking details. Adding to the theatricality, Gaga wore an oversized jester-esque umbrella hat designed by Matthew David Andrews and crafted by milliner Jenny Beattie, underscoring her signature avant-garde style.
