Jenna Ortega Blooms in Tropical-Inspired Winter White at Film Festival
Actress transitions from her Wednesday goth aesthetic in a plunging floral mini dress and ivory trench at the Palm Springs International Film Festival premiere of Miller’s Girl. For the event, the Wednesday star wore a short white Valentino dress with floral details as the straps, which covered her chest just enough. She paired the look with a pearl bracelet, a white choker, and matching pointed-toe heels.
As icy temperatures sweep the nation, Jenna Ortega is transporting us to warmer climates – even if only in our imaginations. The 20-year-old actress arrived at the Palm Springs International Film Festival premiere of her new film Miller’s Girl looking pretty as a tropical bloom in an ivory floral mini dress and matching accessories. While Ortega may be best known for embodying Wednesday Addams’ dark academia style in the smash hit Netflix series, she proved her fashion range by embracing this unexpected sunny look for her red carpet moment in the desert.
Ortega’s plunging white dress from Retro fête paid homage to both the winter white trend and dreamy tropical motifs. Delicate floral appliqués in tones of pink, red, orange, and green created a bikini effect across the otherwise sheer mini dress. Spaghetti straps extended from the pastie-like cups, while a dainty ribbon choker wrapped around the star’s neck. The leg-baring hemline showed off the actress’ toned pins, which she accentuated with metallic strappy sandals.
Leaning into the floral theme, Ortega accessorized with pearl flower drop earrings, a matching ring and bracelet, and a pink manicure. Her lush brown locks were styled in undone waves with a half-up ponytail and subtly parted curtain bangs framing her face. The star’s glam makeup look included a dewy complexion, defined brows, subtle smoky eye, winged liner, and pink pout.
While the dress’s barely-there silhouette evoked beachy vibes, Ortega smartly slipped on an oversized ivory trench coat to brace against the desert winds. She put her own twist on classics like the white button-down and tailored overcoat by choosing sheer, feminine, floral-adorned pieces instead.
Ortega has spoken openly about Wednesday inspiring her own personal style evolution. “I do think that Wednesday changed my taste a lot,” she told InStyle. “I have a hard time getting her off of me, at least clothing-wise. It’s also something that I’ve always wanted to do. I just never felt like I could.” Lately though, she’s been branching out from her gothic on-screen alter ego.
Earlier this month, the Fast X star exuded romantic elegance at the Finestkind premiere in a white lace blazer dress with a corseted waist. Between her black lipstick on Wednesday and boudoir-inspired LWD, Ortega continues to cement her fashion It girl status whether she’s stepping into the darkness or bathing in light.
At just 20 years old, Jenna Ortega proves she has both the range and the eye to become a major force in Hollywood fashion for decades to come. We can’t wait to see what elegant, edgy, glamorous, or unexpected look she tries next!
