All eyes have been on Jenna Ortega [2] recently, and tonight was no exception. The "Wednesday" actor popped up on the Golden Globes red carpet draped in a cutout Gucci dress [3], looking like a total goddess. And while we couldn't help but notice the outfit was a complete 180 from the black-and-white-themed "Wednesday" looks we've gotten used to seeing, our eyes were glued to her hair.
The actor recently debuted a stunning hair transformation [4] while wrapping up her "Wednesday" press tour, veering away from her signature long, black style. Instead, she went with an edgy "wolf" cut in a red hue. The wolf cut [5], which is essentially half shag, half mullet, features choppy layers and lots of volume.
Tonight, Ortega opted for a '90s spin on the trending cut, with flipped-out ends and voluminous roots. "We had a few mood ideas with hair. I leaned towards an effortless style with a little nod to '90s fashion by having the hair lifted a little more towards the front while keeping it bouncy and movable and not too rigid," celebrity hairstylist David Stanwell [6], on behalf of Fekkai, tells POPSUGAR. "We were down for the bottom to be flicked out as well — I just wanted to play with the shapes of the haircut that worked best for the whole look — 'less is more' was very much what I had in mind."
To achieve the look, Stanwell started by applying the Fekkai Root Lift Spray [7] ($28) on Ortega's damp hair, then he went in with a small amount of the Fekkai Super Strength+ Protein Power Bond Mist [8] ($28). After blow-drying it with a round brush and letting it set with velcro rollers, he sprayed everything using the Fekkai Flexi-Hold Hairspray [9] ($12).
Ortega is nominated for best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy, for her performance as Wednesday in the hit Netflix series by the same name. Take a closer look at her 2023 Golden Globes style ahead.
