Jenna Ortega Just Wore a Sheer Lace Dress With the Highest Slit, Like, Ever
Jenna Ortega is taking her press tour for Netflix's new Addams family series, Wednesday, very seriously, especially when it comes to her outfits. A month after wearing a completely sheer black lace dress to Valentino's S/S 23 show, the Gen Z darling wore a similar, albeit even more daring, look for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. This time, though, her dress featured a sky-high slit unlike any we've seen before.
For the show, Ortega and her stylist Enrique Melendez chose a long-sleeve half–French lace, half-opaque dress from fashion favorite label Dion Lee and a pair of Christian Louboutin platforms. In addition to the see-through material, it featured cutouts around the ribs and up to the actress's hip on one side. Bold? Yes. Shockingly pretty? Also yes.
See her look for Jimmy Kimmel Live! and shop more dresses and skirts with outrageously high (and chic) slits below.

We've lost sleep over this gorgeous drop-waist dress.
Is it just us, or is this dress giving serious '90s Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy vibes?
You don't always see a high middle slit, but this one does it well.
