American Vogue: Wednesday’s Child

Nov 2026

For American Vogue, actor Jenna Ortega stars in 'Wednesday’s Child,' a fashion editorial that channels a surreal, theatrical atmosphere through painterly set design and moody, cinematic lighting. Captured by photographer and art director Szilveszter Mako, the series utilizes an earthy palette of olive greens and muted purples, set against recurring motifs like checkered flooring and deliberate, diorama-like compositions. Fashion editor and stylist Tabitha Simmons curates a wardrobe of structured silhouettes, lace, and floral appliqués, grounding the high-fashion imagery in a textured, analogue-film aesthetic. The production is rounded out by hair stylist Massimo Di Stefano, makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis, set designer Edith di Monda, and producer Siyan Chen, with visual editing by Kathryn Costigan.
