WATCH: Actress Jenna Ortega dishes on in new Netflix show, 'Wednesday'

Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones and the cast of "Wednesday" hit the purple carpet at the show's season 2 world premiere in London this week.

The Emmy Award-winning Netflix series from Alfred Gough, Miles Millar and Tim Burton previously earned a Costume Designers Guild Award for its wardrobe in 2022, so it was no surprise the stars were also dressed to impress.

The star, styled by Enrique Melendez -- who posted various angles of the look on his Instagram story, including a photo of himself holding up Ortega's train while she signed autographs for fans -- wore her hair loosely pulled back in a long, low ponytail, completing the look with dark lipstick and bleached eyebrows.

Zeta-Jones, who plays Ortega's onscreen mother, channeled a classic Morticia Addams look in a dramatic black Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture gown with a keyhole halter silhouette, cascading ruffles and a thigh-high slit.

What is 'Wednesday' season 2 about?

The official trailer for the upcoming season shows Wednesday Addams returning to Nevermore Academy, where she has a psychic vision and learns her best friend and roommate, Enid -- played by Emma Myers -- will die.

Worse, Wednesday sees that she will somehow be responsible for the death.

"Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family," Wednesday says in the trailer. "The sooner I can get the answers, the sooner I can save Enid -- or die trying."

It also seems that Wednesday's turn saving Nevermore from a Hyde in season 1 has made her extremely popular. When she first arrives back at school, a fellow student asks for her autograph.

"I only sign my name in blood," Wednesday says in response.
