She stayed true to her ‘Wednesday’ fashion with a sultry twist, wearing an edgy Dolce & Gabbana outfit -a black tie and white collared sheer dress with a corset-style belt. Ortega debuted her new gothic style on the ‘The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.’ She let the pictures speak for themselves without a caption, and the post gained 3 million likes in an hour. 

Stanell captioned his post, “@jennaortega you are the vibe” sharing more angles of the haircut.

During the interview, Ortega revealed the story behind her now iconic dance scene: “Initially, they wanted a flash mob, but I thought, no, there’s no way ‘Wednesday’ would be cool with dancing and encouraging a bunch of people,” she explained. She didn’t sleep for 2 days while choreographing the dance scene by herself and the result speaks for itself.

‘Wednesday’ is now Netflix’s second most watched show of all-time.
