Jenna Ortega has recently discovered the perfect inspiration for her themed style: none other than her co-star from Beetlejuice, Winona Ryder. It’s no coincidence that she plays Winona’s daughter in the upcoming film – the two actresses share a similar edgy and iconic aesthetic that Jenna is excited to channel.
Her latest look was a re-creation of Winona Ryder’s outfit from the Tim Burton’s 1988 Beetlejuice adaptation, expertly crafted by stylist Enrique Melendez. For a modern take a preppy Thom Browne outfit, featuring a below-the-knee skirt and navy cardigan was a go-to. Ortega wore a cropped white blouse and long sleeve sweater, unbuttoned, and a handbag from Paris-based brand, Ozias, with a brown top-handle bag referencing the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, a pun on the first film.
2024 has been defined by “method dressing,” from Zendaya’s sporty fits while promoting Challengers to Margot Robbie’s Barbie, and now we finally have front-row seats as Ortega gives her modern twist to Beetlejuice universe-themed fashion. She has incorporated subtle nods to the Tim Burton classic into her press wardrobe, featuring stripes, macabre Zombie head accessories, and vintage pieces like the intricate Vivienne Westwood gown.
