When it comes to her Wednesday press tour fashion, Jenna Ortega and her stylist, Enrique Melendez, have spared no expense. Today, the actor continued her hit parade in Midtown Manhattan, where she offered her take on Christian Dior’s New Look.
The famous silhouette—a bar jacket with a nipped-in waist and a flared skirt—emerged from Christian Dior’s inaugural collection in February 1947 as a novel, post-war look. In the 78 years since its debut, the New Look has proven its staying power. Maria Grazia Chiuri, who served as the house’s creative director for nearly a decade, was fond of the look, recently dressing the likes of Monica Barbaro and Yseult in the telltale silhouette.

Today, Ortega offered her interpretation in a gray single-button closure with a defined waist, padded shoulders, and a double collar. Instead of a voluminous A-line skirt, she opted for a sleek pencil midi. Ortega’s accessories were also statement-making, leaning into the mysterious in a black saucer hat and sunglasses, and a pair of the viral Christian Louboutin pointe shoe pumps.

Ortega is giving a masterclass in what modern press tour style should look like. Paying homage to her character without looking costume-y, Melendez styled her in a reptilian Ashi Studios dress, a layered, corseted Vivienne Westwood dress, and an avant-garde leather number by Sarah Burton for Givenchy. Now, Jenna Ortega is ushering in the new New Look.
