Jenna, who leads the cast as the titular tearaway teen, did away with Wednesday's love of black and instead hit the red carpet in a gold-coloured skin tight dress.
Wearing her hair straight and pulled back from her face, Jenna wore dark make-up to contrast against the light coloured gown, which bored a faint snake print as it pressed against her figure.
With the purple carpet rolled out and creepy black gates framing the walkway, Jenna's arrival capped off an impressive turnout for the show's stars.
Most opted to keep within the show's macabre and gloomy theme, wearing black as they arrived at the premiere.

Among them was Catherine Zeta-Jones, who quickly stole attention in a stand out black gown with a plunging back and neck line and silky black train behind her as she walked.
The 55-year-old – who plays Wednesday's mother Morticia – looked stunning as she pulled her hair back into a high tight bun, with razor sharp eyeliner and a dark purple lip.
Playing such an iconic character clearly has rubbed off on others, with Billie Piper arriving shortly after in a Morticia-inspired black bodyform dress with a cutaway neckline held together by string.
Paying homage to Anjelica Huston's version of the character – which appeared in 90s movies The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values – Billie beamed as she shyly posed for cameras, keeping her bright orange her loose and wavy over her shoulders.

Irish singles take centre stage in Love Is Blind UK season 2

Netflix has finally lifted the veil on the cast of Love Is Blind: UK Season 2 – and the pods are about to get a distinctly Irish twang. Among a number of hopeful romantics getting ready to flirt through the walls and gamble on love without a single glance, several hail from across the Irish Sea. From Limerick natives to Wicklow wanderers and even a Northern Irish accent or two in the mix, this year's batch promises plenty of craic alongside the chaos. Christine in Love is Blind: UK: Season 2. Pic: Netflix/Tom Dymond The streaming giant unveiled the line-up on Thursday morning, sparking instant buzz online. Could 2025 finally be the year the UK franchise delivers its first mega Irish love story—or heartbreak broadcast in 4K? A synopsis for the reality show reads: 'UK and Ireland-based singles who want to be loved for who they are have signed up for a less-conventional approach to modern dating, and will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them. 'Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods. Tara in Love is Blind: UK: Season 2. Pic: Netflix/Tom Dymond 'When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, this series will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.' First up representing the emerald isle, we have 35-year-old HR Operations Lead Christine, with the Limerick native hopeful to strike gold. 'Christine has had her fair share of heartbreak and admits that bad boys are her downfall. The Monica from Friends lookalike finds it hard to date in her small rural town where the guys are already snapped up,' show bosses divulged. Billy in Love is Blind: UK: Season 2. Pic: Netflix/Tom Dymond 'As an only child, Christine would love to be able to provide her parents with a grandchild and is hoping the experiment will lead to the white wedding she's always dreamed of.' Next up we have Tara, a 33-year-old cafe owner from County Wicklow. Speaking on her dating history, show bosses said: 'Tara finds it tough to meet men in Wicklow because the dating pool is relatively small. Her last relationship ended 18 months ago after more than two years together because she felt they were recycling the same jokes and small talk. Tara was told by a fortune teller that she'd be engaged by September, so watch this space!' Hailing from up north, we have 35-year-old Army Physical Trainer Barry. The Bangor native was once married, but is now ready to find love once more following his split. 'Billy has been single since his divorce five years ago and finds the modern-day dating world 'a complete minefield.' He often feels like the third wheel as most of his friends are settled down and as a result, doesn't socialise as much as he used to. 'Divorce hasn't put Billy off marriage and he's keen to be a husband again and start a family with his life partner.' The second season of Love is Blind UK will hit Netflix on August 13.

We live on street made famous by Hollywood films & TV shows – but we're trapped in our homes due to thoughtless council

RESIDENTS who live on a famous street thanks to it featuring in Hollywood films and TV shows say they are trapped in their homes due to a thoughtless council. Portobello Road in West London is also well-known thanks to its markets which attracts visitors from far afield all year round.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea , which oversees the market, erected barriers and implemented traffic restrictions due to fears of vehicles being driven into pedestrians. Advertisement Read More UK News The vehicle ban is in operation between 10am and 4pm for either three or seven days a week, depending on the section, and this has given rise to concerns by residents that they won't be able to leave or that emergency services, deliveries or taxis won't be able to reach them. Patrick Somers, who lives in Portobello Mews, said residents only found out about the restrictions just a few days before they were implemented on July 1. Mr Somers is now leading a legal challenge by residents and local traders against the council's decision. He told Advertisement Most read in The Sun Latest Exclusive 'But you've got to balance it, because if you talk to the police or a risk consultant, they'll say, 'don't go out, lock yourselves in and you'll be fine'. "But most people can't live that way — and with that approach, the terrorists win as well.' Our famous London road will go through a big change... we're overrun by tourists and need help but we like it how it is Although the barriers are meant to open for emergency services, Mr Somers alleged that when a resident called for an ambulance for a young child who was having difficulty breathing, paramedics had to park beyond the barriers and carry their kit in. He added: 'It doesn't matter if you would like to get to the airport or get to the hospital appointment or you have an emergency or whatever. It's banned to all traffic. Advertisement 'No taxis can come between ten and four o'clock, between three and seven days a week. That has in effect trapped people in their homes.' The council has said it had consulted with emergency services to ensure their vehicles could get through. Antiques dealer Geoff Knowles told the paper the council had advised traders they could arrive before 10am and leave after 4pm, but he added that was not how many traders operated. He said that the majority of traders that operated on Westbourne Grove usually got there at around 5-6am on a Saturday and then normally left about 1-2pm, making the new restrictions 'a bit of a pain'. Advertisement He added that some traders needed to park near their stalls or had to go out to restock during the day. Mr Knowles said that a fruit and veg stall holder would maybe turn up with tons of potatoes and carrots and would need to park near his stall; they wouldn't be able to drag a sack of potatoes 300 yards every time he sold out of them. A Kensington and Chelsea council spokesperson said the measures had been implemented following advice from the Metropolitan Police's counterterrorism security adviser. They added the council had set up new blue badge bays and drop-off areas along the side streets and that blue badge holders in the closed sections could enter and leave.

'The temporary Anti-Terrorism Traffic Regulation Order on Portobello Road was introduced to protect residents, traders and visitors from the potential threat of vehicle attacks during busy trading periods , following advice from counter-terrorism police. 'We continue to speak with residents and businesses, addressing concerns case by case to help inform proposals for a permanent scheme.' 4 The council erected barriers and implemented traffic restrictions due to fears of vehicles being driven into pedestrians Credit: AFP Advertisement 4 Hugh Grant's character in the film, William Thacker, owned a travel book shop on Portobello Road Credit: Alamy
