The actress certainly knows how to rock a throwback goth look, and her latest Instagram post confirms just that.

Jenna Ortega has us once again reaching for the eyebrow bleach we purchased and promptly abandoned after seeing Rooney Mara in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo back in 2011.

The 27-year-old changed up her makeup this week, revealing on Instagram that she had indeed bleached her eyebrows for a look so incredible, she’s making a classic “throwback” goth style quickly become a “comeback” goth style.

Pairing her newly bleached blonde eyebrows with heavy, blended dark eyeshadows, defined eyelashes and a glossy nude lip, Ortega looked almost too cool in her latest photo drop. The two snapshots shared showed the actress posing for dual selfies, both showcasing plenty of freckles and fierceness.

She paired the breathtaking brow-less look with a classic black top featuring what appeared to be a cowl neckline, as well as some dark gray bottoms. Her signature brunette tresses were parted down the center and left chic, straight and shiny for the ultimate late ‘90s grunge vibe. She further accessorized with a single silver ring.

But this isn’t the first time Ortega has tried on this polarizing trend to the awe of her many fans, as she also sported a similar look for a photo shoot and interview featured in The Cut back in April.

“She can do no wrong,” Vanessa Hudgens wrote in the comment section of her latest Instagram post.

“😍,” Yara Shahidi simply added.

“Okay miss freckles!!!!!” One fan cheered.

“I’m so dead. Ur perfect,” another commenter declared.

And her bleached brows are just another exciting moment Ortega has gifted us with this week, as the superstar also dropped the latest trailer for the highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s Wednesday. Following the wildly popular first season, which began streaming on the platform back in 2022, the show will once again follow the adventures of the beloved Addams Family character as she navigates her newfound hero status.

While speaking to The Cut for her aforementioned cover feature back in April, Ortega opened up about the upcoming season, and how things have changed since her first go-around as the character—namely, that she is now a producer on the project.

“I spend so much time with those guys,” she told the outlet, referring to working with director Tim Burton, as well as show creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. “They trust me enough to know what Wednesday would think and do.”

“Tim and I would talk with the writers, cross out lines and they would supplement new ones,” she added, noting that she would sit down with Burton in his trailer each morning to go over the script to ensure Wednesday was acting as Wednesday-ish as possible.

Needless to say, we’re all more than a little excited to see what our girl Wednesday gets up to next—and if it’s anything half as cool as what Ortega’s been up to, we’re in for a treat!
