A sheer Saint Laurent dress made Ortega difficult to miss at a Critics Choice event in November.
According to Teen Vogue, the black two-piece set Ortega wore under the one-shoulder maxi dress was a nod to the 1960s, the decade the original "Addams Family" sitcom premiered on television.
She finished the mesh ensemble with a messy updo and smoky, muted makeup.

Ortega channeled the "Corpse Bride" by accessorizing her "Wednesday" premiere gown with a black veil.
Ortega's lingerie-inspired gown was designed by Versace for its spring/summer 2023 show in September, CNN reports. She styled the dress with a wispy black veil, strappy black heels, and liner-rimmed eyes.
The look was very on-theme for the premiere of the hit Netflix show, which is known for its modern take on "The Addams Family" and gothic fashion.

For an appearance on "The Tonight Show" this month, the actress chose a cool, sheer maxi dress with white cuffs and a corset.
The actress chose another sheer dress for "The Tonight Show" on Friday, contrasting the transparent material with a chained corset.
The white collar and cuffs attached to the dress appeared to be a callback to the schoolgirl dress Wednesday Addams famously wore in several shows, movies, and comics. "Wednesday" costume designer Colleen Atwood told Refinery29 that the contrast between black and white materials made the titular character's style feel current.
"I feel like it's a fresh take on that style," she said."To me, it's more of a graphic juxtaposition of light, gray, and black that really made her look contemporary, like she didn't just land from another time period."
Disclosure: Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer, is a Netflix board member.
