Jenna Ortega took micro shorts to daring new heights for her latest Esquire shoot, putting her legs front and center in a barely-there Blumarine pair. The “Wednesday” star posed for the magazine as one of its Mavericks of 2026, serving up an all-black look that mixed dramatic textures with an ultra-leggy silhouette.
Jenna Ortega puts on a leggy display for Esquire in Blumarine micro shorts
While an Ann Demeulemeester cape added another layer to the ensemble, it was Jenna Ortega’s tiny Blumarine shorts that made the biggest statement. Cut extremely high on the thighs, the black satin shorts featured a fitted, high-waisted silhouette that hugged Ortega’s hips before ending just below them. The tiny hemline left nearly the entirety of her legs exposed as she struck a series of dynamic poses for photographer Chantal Anderson.
Ortega paired the micro shorts with a dramatic black feather boa, also by Blumarine. The oversized accessory swept around her body and trailed across the frame, creating a striking contrast against the sleek, minimal shorts. In one shot, Ortega lifted her leg while the boa moved around her, emphasizing just how tiny the shorts were.
She completed the look with black Gianvito Rossi sandals featuring delicate straps that wrapped around her ankles. Paspaley drop earrings brought a touch of sparkle to the otherwise monochrome styling. The actress wore her dark hair in a loose, center-parted updo style with face-framing pieces, while her makeup remained understated. The pared-back beauty look kept attention firmly on the outfit and its bold proportions.
Ortega shared images from the shoot on Instagram, writing that appearing as one of Esquire’s “Mavericks of ’26” was a “pleasure.” The feature arrives as Ortega continues to reflect on the enormous impact of ‘Wednesday’ and the level of fame that came with playing the hit series’ title character.
Ortega’s latest all-black ensemble proved that a tiny pair of shorts can easily command the spotlight.
