Jenna Ortega took a fashion risk — and succeeded — at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
The 21-year-old actress attended a screening of Miller’s Girl on Thursday, January 11, wearing a skin-baring mini dress. The white frock featured a completely open bodice equipped with delicate flowers that barely covered Ortega’s chest. The look fell into a dainty skirt that stopped just above Ortega’s knees.
The Scream star paired the dress with snowy pointed-toe pumps and a coordinating choker. For glam, Ortega maintained the delicate theme with rosy cheeks and a pink lip. She styled her hair in a half-up, half-down hairdo with her bangs framing her face.
When it comes to her wardrobe, Ortega likes to keep fashion flirty and fun.
At the premiere of her movie Finestkind last month, Ortega was a must-see in a white embroidered Adeam blazer that was designed with a corset-like construction. She added height with a pair of towering platform heels and styled her hair in a low ponytail.
Ortega’s stylist, Enrique Melendez, gushed over the look at the time, sharing that he first laid eyes on the outfit during New York Fashion week in September 2023.
“I just knew I wanted to try it on Jenna as a dress,” he gushed via Instagram. “I forgot how important it is to go to these shows. For me it’s about getting inspired. Sometimes pictures don’t do these looks justice. The fabrication, the structure, the little details that a camera lens can miss but the naked eye won’t.”
Melendez was also the brains behind Ortega’s memorable 2023 Met Gala ensemble. At fashion’s biggest night, which honored late designer Karl Lagerfeld, Ortega delivered drama in a high-low ruffled dress by Thom Browne.
The goth-glam look was covered in pearls — a nod to Lagerfeld’s love of the gem — and was equipped with textured fabric. Ortega topped the look off with heeled loafers and sheer knee-high socks.
