'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega stuns in revealing purple gown with thigh-high slit at awar show

The 23-year-old "Wednesday" star posed for photos at the event in a sheer purple dress with a plunging neckline and lace detailing on the bodice. The skirt featured a thigh-high slit, and her nude underwear could be seen through the slightly darker shade of purple material.

She paired the look with a big fuzzy burgundy jacket, silver high-heeled shoes, a drop necklace and a ring on her right hand. She kept her hair and makeup simple, opting for a dark lip with her signature bleached eyebrows, and wore her hair down in a center part.

Ortega attended the awards show to honor her stylist, Enrique Melendez, who received the Future of Fashion Award. In her speech, she credited Melendez as being "one of the first people who ever made me feel seen or heard."

"Growing up in an industry like this, you learn to become the puppet and stand there and do what you're told," Ortega said in her speech, per InStyle. "He always took everything I said with the utmost importance and respect and care."

She went on to explain that she believes she would have been a different person had she never started acting, adding "children aren't supposed to be working like that. They are supposed to be climbing trees and drawing and going to school."

Ortega got her big break in the Disney Channel show, "Stuck in the Middle," playing the inventive middle child in a large family, but gained international fame playing Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series, "Wednesday."

The role boosted her star power, and earned her nominations at the Emmy, SAG, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards.

She posted photos from the award show on her Instagram and fans flooded the comments section with compliments.
