Welcome to the Who What Wear podcast, your direct line to the designers, stylists, beauty experts, editors, and tastemakers who are shaping the ever-evolving world of fashion.

I'm Who What Wears co-founder and chief content officer Hillary Kerr, and today I'm sitting

down in studio with celebrity stylist and friend of the pod Enrique Melendez.

Enrique has been included in the Hollywood Reporter's List of the top 25 celebrity stylist two years in a row and just received an in-style image maker award for his work styling actress Jenna Ortega and rightfully so.

The two have been working together for nearly a decade to develop the Wednesday star's signature style.

Enrique joined us back in 2023 to talk about Jenna's bold, gothic looks for the Wednesday season

one press tour. Now he's back to talk to us about how he and Jenna took things to the next level

with the release of Season 2 of Wednesday.

Enrique tells us the stories behind some of the many show-stopping looks,

to the Victorian Vivian Westwood dress she wore in Paris.

And we definitely talk about her incredible Emmy's look and all of the incredible Sarah Burton for Jivanchi looks that Jenna has been wearing.

our job much easier. First of all, everyone should go back and listen to that first episode

because you did such an amazing job of walking us through your trajectory,

Jenna's style trajectory. All of it was fabulous. But let's talk about it. We'll give like a little

bit of a synopsis to start and then we'll get into everything that you've been up to since then,

if that sounds okay. Absolutely. Okay, good. Okay, so you started working with her as we established before when she was just 14 and had the job of helping her transition out of really being perceived as just a Disney star. So how did you guys start to figure out what her true style was?
