Jenna Ortega leaves fans speechless as she debuts major transformation in new photos

People have praised Jenna Ortega's new look after the actress unveiled a dramatic change on social media this week.

Ortega appeared front and centre for an interview with The Cut for the magazine's April/May issue, where she spoke about her latest movie release, Death of a Unicorn, and her departure from the Scream franchise in 2023.

Sharing several snaps from the recent magazine shoot, fans noted how different Ortega looked in the images - and it wasn't just because of her various outfits.

The striking new look - which was posted on her Instagram - certainly suits Ortega, with many of her fans taking to the comments to gush over the change.

Turns out that the Wednesday actress had actually bleached her eyebrows for the shoot.

Fellow actress Vanessa Hudgens wrote: "Kind of obsessed with u and these eyebrows," while another wrote: "Bleached brows doing it for us."

And a third said: "Jenna my queen, I love the new look."

Meanwhile, a fourth added: "You look gorgeous."

While some followers admitted they weren't keen on the style, another wrote: "Some of these comments on her eyebrows? I mean, come on!

"It's not ur guys choice on what she does with her body! If she wants to bleach her eyebrow, then she can!

"Making silly comments on her eyebrows, I feel, are silly. One reason I don't like social media. She doesn't deserve this. Personally I think she looks amazing either way!"

It's not the first time Ortega has shown off her bleached brows.

At a press tour for her upcoming movie, Hurry Up Tomorrow, which took place in Las Vegas, Ortega could be seen with her normally dark eyebrows bleached lighter.

The movie also stars Barry Keoghan and The Weeknd and tells the story of 'a musician plagued by insomnia [who] is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger [and] begins to unravel the very core of his existence'.

It seems bleached eyebrows are becoming increasingly popular at the moment, with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Sienna Miller all trying out the trend in recent months.

Miller's make-up artist, Wendy Rowe, told Vogue: “You can completely change the shape of someone’s face by lightening the eyebrows, or even removing them all together.

“I kept the look very modern, adding more structure to the face with layers of eyeliner and mascara, but still youthful with a dewy base and light pink lip.”

It's not advisable to try and bleach your own eyebrows at home, however, with brow expert Anu Khapung explaining: “I would never recommend anyone to lighten or bleach their eyebrows at home. It’s not worth the risk, and you often won’t achieve the best results.”
