The 23-year-old Wednesday producer-star took the plunge in an ivory Christian Cowan SS/26 tattered silk-and-lace slip dress, grey stockings and towering black peep-toe heels selected by stylist Enrique Melendez.
Ortega paired her distressed 1950s boudoir attire with a couple long necklaces and hairstylist César DeLeon Ramirez thickened her signature raven mane with a top hairpiece.
Make-up artist Mélanie Inglessis overlined the Gen-Z It Girl's pink pout and she brought out her dark doe eyes for the Netflix-streamed awards show.
Ortega was nominated for her role as Wednesday Addams but lost the outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series trophy to the late Catherine O'Hara.
The Canadian comedian - who died, age 71, from a pulmonary embolism on January 30 - posthumously won for her work as former studio head Patty Leigh in Apple TV's The Studio.

The Cali-born, Mexican-Puerto Rican beauty could be seen wiping away tears as The Studio creator-star Seth Rogen honored 'her ability to be generous and kind and gracious, while never, ever minimizing her own talents.'
Ortega had previously bonded with O'Hara while portraying her onscreen step-granddaughter Astrid Deetz in Tim Burton's comedy-horror sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which amassed $452 million at the box office in 2024.

'Catherine is one of the most beautiful people I've ever had the honor of getting to work with and know,' the Emmy nominee wrote on February 1. 'I'll forever cherish the time we shared together, and everything she taught me. A giant and inspiration in many ways. One of the greats. Thank you so much for it all'
Coincidentally, Ortega also presented the outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series trophy to Rogen (R), who also revealed O'Hara would 'completely rewrite' her scenes and always 'destroyed' onscreen
The 43-year-old Canadian comedian added: 'She really showed that you can be a genius and be kind, and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape or form'
Audiences can next catch the former Disney Channel star in J. J. Abrams' science fantasy film The Great Beyond - hitting US/UK theaters November 13 - alongside Glen Powell, Samuel L. Jackson and Sophie Okonedo
Ortega's other upcoming roles include Taika Waititi's dystopian sci-fi flick Klara and the Sun, and Cathy Yan's Miami Art Basel-inspired comedy thriller The Gallerist
Season three of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar's Addams Family spin-off - directed by Tim Burton - will also feature Winona Ryder, Eva Green, Chris Sarandon and Joanna Lumley.

The Dior Beauty brand ambassador's other upcoming roles include Taika Waititi's dystopian sci-fi flick Klara and the Sun, and Cathy Yan's Miami Art Basel-inspired comedy thriller The Gallerist.
Worryingly, the last two films Ortega produced and starred in - Hurry Up Tomorrow and Death of a Unicorn - received absolutely dismal reviews and bombed at the box office.
