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 socks with a silver-sequin patchwork shorts suit over a screen-printed necktie-and-collar top, and patent leather platform booties.
Jenna – who wore her brunette locks down – toted a matching Thom Browne patterned purse and wore statement earrings.
Ortega flashed a dimpled smile with a minimally made-up complexion and only a bit of 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 self-titled 420-page monograph published by Phaidon Press last Wednesday.

Thom – who calls Jenna ‘my birthday twin’ – famously enlisted her to represent his American fashion house at the Met Gala celebrating Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty back on May 1.
While 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 suited and booted including Brooklyn singer King Princess and Highsnobiety editor-in-chief Willa Bennett.
The Adidas brand ambassador also caught up with Rosaline actress Isabela Merced at the fashion festivities.
At one point, Jenna was seen aiming an old-fashioned camera at a dapper partygoer while perching sideways in her seat at the dining table.
Ortega will next portray Mabel, a woman caught between debt-ridden fisherman brothers (Toby Wallace and Ben Foster), in Brian Helgeland’s crime drama Finestkind premiering December 15 on Paramount+.
The Cali native will also play Lydia Deetz’s (Winona Ryder) daughter in Tim Burton’s highly-anticipated comedy sequel Beetlejuice 2 – hitting US/UK theaters 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, which air January 15 on Fox.

Netflix officially renewed Tim Burton, Alfred Gough, and Miles Millar’s Hogwarts-style Addams Family spin-off for a second season on January 6.
Elsewhere at the Thom Browne party, Stranger Things star David Harbour pulled faces while posing for a selfie with Bupkis actress Chase Sui Wonders.
At 48, the two-time Emmy nominee is 21 years older than the half-Chinese beauty.
David’s wife of three years – Grammy nominee Lily Allen – mysteriously unfollowed his Instagram account earlier this month amid separation rumors.
And Chase ended her eight-month romance with girl-crazy comedian Pete Davidson in August.
Wonders also posed with handsome Emmy nominee Lee Pace, whom she co-starred with in Halina Reijn’s 2022 horror-comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies.
Former Hillary Clinton political staffer Huma Abedin looked chic in a plaid pantsuit beneath a black coat while Independent Spirit Award winner Rebecca Hall wore a tartan coat over similarly-patterned leggings.
The Gilded Age star Christine Baranski looked fierce in a dark-grey blazer over a collared shirt and necktie, light-grey slacks, and matching Mary Janes.
The Tony and Emmy winner easily defied her 71 years as she took a seat beside Browne.
Tony-nominated playwright and Emily in Paris actor Jeremy O. Harris looked sleek in a pinstripe three-piece suit while toting Thom Browne’s $3,530 ‘Black Pebbled Calfskin Giraffe Bag.’
