Jenna Ortega Dazzles on Vogue's November Cover

Jenna Ortega is featured on the cover of Vogue's November 2026 issue, showcasing a series of artistic and surreal images captured by photographer Szilveszter Makó and styled by Tabitha Simmons.

For the cover, Ortega is depicted in a white satin Dior slip dress, leaning barefoot on a stool. The accompanying editorial spreads feature the 24-year-old actress in sculptural ensembles against trompe l'oeil backdrops, a signature style of Makó. Among the featured looks are an asymmetric acid green Givenchy dress, a Miu Miu mini dress styled with braids reminiscent of her "Wednesday" character, and a Balenciaga Couture gown constructed from blue feathers.

Ortega, known for her gothic-themed red carpet appearances, particularly for projects like "Wednesday" and "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," described her personal style as practical and low-maintenance in an interview with Vogue. "In my day-to-day life, I’m very practical, very comfortable. I’m a very low-maintenance person," she stated.

Despite her public persona often being associated with darker aesthetics, Ortega acknowledged the significant impact of "Wednesday" on her career. "It’ll always be something people think of when they see me," she said of the role.

Director Mary Bronstein commented on Ortega's versatility, suggesting that the actress has potential that has not yet been fully explored. "[Jenna] has been put in some little boxes," Bronstein noted. "I think that there are things that are in there that haven’t been brought out…. She has a poise to her that I’ve seen few people in their 40s or even 50s have."
