Will the Bleached Brow Be Fall 2025’s Biggest Trend?Jenna Ortega Is Leading the Goth Chic Revival — And the Fashion World Is Watching

Move over Barbiecore — Fall 2025 is all about Wednesdaycore. And no one is owning it harder than Jenna Ortega, the Coachella Valley native turned global fashion icon and Gen Z’s reigning scream queen.

Currently on an international press tour for her hit Netflix series Wednesday, Jenna isn’t just promoting a show — she’s launching a full-blown goth chic revolution, and fashion insiders are scrambling to keep up. Her signature look? Jet-black lace, corseted silhouettes, platform boots… and yes — bleached eyebrows so bold they’d make Queen Elizabeth I whisper, slay.

The Bleached Brow Is Back (But Make It Fashion)

First popularized in the Elizabethan era, the bleached brow symbolized aristocracy, mystery, and a high forehead (because yes, that was once sexy). The look saw a fashion rebirth in the ‘90s thanks to Alexander McQueen, and icons like Madonna, Kate Moss, and Linda Evangelista.

Then came the TikTok era, where Lizzo brought it back in full glam in 2021, setting off a digital storm.

Now? It’s Jenna’s world, and her ethereal, softly bleached brows are the accessory we didn’t know we needed. On her, the look softens her features, makes her doe eyes pop, and adds an uncanny, dreamy edge to even the harshest of black-on-black fits.

Fun fact: bleached brows are big in drag culture too — allowing for complete facial reinvention. And let’s be real: a soft brow and a strong outfit? Total power move.

Goth Chic Isn’t a Phase — It’s a Fashion Statement

Jenna Ortega’s fall press wardrobe is an elegant love letter to gothic glam. Inspired by Victorian mourning wear, her looks combine structured tailoring, sheer layers, and BDSM-adjacent detailing — think high collars, cinched waists, and opera gloves in jet black. If Barbie gave us bubblegum and blonde, Jenna is giving funeral but make it couture — and we are obsessed.

This isn’t just a red carpet moment — it’s a fashion renaissance. Jenna, much like Margot Robbie did with her endless Barbie-themed looks, is staying completely on-brand with her Wednesday Addams persona, elevating goth to luxury status. And with every appearance — from Tokyo to New York — she's proving that black isn’t just a color… it’s a lifestyle.

Final Word:

Bleached brows. Black corsets. Soft stares and strong statements. If Jenna Ortega has anything to say about it (and she absolutely does), fall 2025 won’t be cozy cardigans and pumpkin spice. It’ll be mystery, monochrome, and main character energy — and honestly? We’re here for it.

So, will bleached brows be the next big thing?

As Wednesday would say: "I see the world in black and white... and it looks fabulous."
