OO-La-la! Spooky Jenna Ortega ruffles more than some feathers in a frilly dress in Paris.
The US star wore the brown frock for the French premiere of the second series of Netflix hit Wednesday, directed by Tim Burton.

The show, based on the daughter from The Addams Family, will return next week after the original run became a ratings hit following its release in 2022.
On the reception to the first series, Jenna, 22, said: “I’m still very appreciative and grateful.
“We didn’t know that anyone was going to watch the show.
“You do these things and you don’t know what’s to come, so it was very overwhelming.”
A former child star, Jenna was catapulted into the A list when Wednesday – viewed 252 million times and counting – launched in 2022.
And by her own refreshingly candid admission, that rapid rise to the top was overwhelming.
“To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in May.
“After the pressure, the attention – as somebody who’s quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.”
The eight-month shoot in Romania had been challenging, with Jenna revealing: “I was alone. Never had any hot water. The boilers in two of my apartments were broken, so I always took cold showers.”
At least she’ll be getting a warm welcome from Wednesday fans as the show returns to their screens.
