Jenna Ortega has been making waves with her fashion choices as she promotes the upcoming sequel to the iconic movie 'Beetlejuice.' The young star, known for her role as Astrid Deetz in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' has been embracing the concept of method dressing at the Venice Film Festival.
Method dressing involves wearing outfits inspired by the film being promoted, and Ortega has been channeling the spirit of the underworld adventure in her attire.
One of Ortega's standout looks was a sheer red two-piece Dior Haute Couture dress, reminiscent of a red wedding dress featured in the first 'Beetlejuice' film. She also sported a custom Paul Smith suit in burgundy red, paying homage to Betelgeuse's wedding outfit from the original movie.
Ortega's fashion choices have drawn inspiration from various characters in the 'Beetlejuice' universe. A Petar Petrov Heat Wave blouse she wore referenced Betelgeuse's iconic pinstriped suit, while her black-and-white ensembles echoed the main colors used in the first film.
From outfits resembling Lydia's school uniform to nods to Delia's renovation attire, Ortega has been meticulously crafting her looks to align with the movie's aesthetic. Even her accessories, like a custom-made bag reading 'handbag for the recently deceased,' have been carefully selected to mirror elements from the film.
Ortega's stylist shared insights into the thought process behind each outfit, including a Dolce & Gabbana suit and a Marc Jacobs ensemble that closely resembled Betelgeuse's signature pinstriped suit.
Her fashion journey began in Mexico, where she attended a black carpet fan event and press day, showcasing a range of creative outfits that paid tribute to various aspects of the 'Beetlejuice' universe.
By embracing method dressing, Jenna Ortega is not only promoting the upcoming sequel but also paying homage to the beloved characters and themes that have captivated audiences for decades.
