Check Out Jenna Ortega’s Best Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Press Tour Looks

Jenna Ortega has a master’s degree in method dressing.

The 21-year-old actress has fully embraced the red carpet fashion strategy while promoting her new film Beetlejuice Beetlejuicethe long-awaited sequel to the 1988 cult classic Beetle juice(Never forget that she first stepped into the trend while promoting her Golden Globe-nominated role as Wednesday Addams.)

Ortega (along with her stylist Enrique Melendez) started strong with a series of striped looks that nod to Michael Keaton’s iconic suit as the title character, but has since gotten increasingly creative with her outfits.

While I was in New York City on August 19th, Wednesday actress took the stage in a plaid skirt and sweater by Thom Browne, which was a near-perfect imitation of Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz in the film’s memorable final scene. At the Venice Film Festival, Ortega graced the carpet in a stunning red gown that fans believe is an homage to Lydia’s red wedding dress.

See every look Ortega wore around the world leading up to the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice premiering on September 6.

At the film’s UK premiere on Thursday, August 29, Ortega enjoyed perhaps her most creative red carpet moment yet.

The sculptural teal-and-black Harris Reed ensemble isn’t just a design feat, but — according to Melendez’s Instagram Story post — also a subtle nod to Catherine O’Hara’s character Delia Deetz in the original film. The dress’ colors are an inventive take on Delia’s love of black clothing and the large-scale green sculpture she creates.

She also wore black platform sandals by Brandon Blackwood and black opera gloves.

To top it all off, Ortega carried a house-shaped bag from Ozias, which was modeled after the Deetz family’s haunted mansion.

While in New York City on August 19, Ortega wore a Thom Browne costume that nods to the iconic final scene from Beetlejuice, specifically Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz.

Like Lydia, Ortega wore a navy sweater with an emblem and a plaid skirt. The actress put her own spin on the look with two-tone Mary Janes and a few rings, a Suzanne Kalan Golden Milli Stacker Diamond Eternity Band and a Rainbow K Ring Empress Sapphires.

She also added a striking accessory: a handbag for the recently deceased, made by Ozias, which references the film’s creepy manual.
