V magazine’s found its latest covergirl in Jenna Ortega! The actress fronts the title’s newest spring issue, outfitted in edgy leather from Coach.

Inside the issue, Ortega’s photographed by Zoey Grossman in looks by Givenchy, Isabel Marant, GUESS, Coach, Miu Miu, and Balenciaga, complete with gleaming Dior fine jewelry. Within her feature interview with Mathias Rosenzweig, she also chats about her slate of upcoming projects including new films Hurry Up Tomorrow and The Gallerist, and rumors she’s starring in the upcoming Single White Female remake (two tickets for us, please!). Plus, on a more personal note, Ortega also reflects on her journey as an up-and-coming actress before her breakthrough with Netflix’s Wednesday—which returns for a second season this summer.
“I mean, that was just a few years ago,” Ortega says. “I’d done some shows and was working in film, but it wasn’t until that show, the day of the week [Wednesday], that just catapulted everything. As grateful as I am, and it was a dream role, it was so nice to have had way less pressure. I love the hustle. There’s something about the actor’s come-up and struggle that I really enjoyed. Sleeping in the cars, driving all around LA for auditions, and waiting for weeks, feeling sick to my stomach that I wasn’t going to get the job I really wanted. The adrenaline rush of it all was so exciting. I don’t know if it’s common, or if you can relate to this, but it kind of feels like you’re perpetually in this loop of anxiety. I hold so much more pressure and weight in my body than I ever did, and I think it’s just kind of the expectation of it all.”
