Jenna Ortega's Tuxedo Dress Comes With a Plunging Neckline

Jenna Ortega's latest red carpet look came with an unexpected splash of colour. At the "Scream 6" premiere in New York City on 6 March, the actor wore a minidress that resembled a deconstructed tuxedo, featuring a plunging white button-down under a black jacket that gaped open and wrapped around her shoulders. Plucked from Jean Paul Gaultier's autumn 2022 couture collection, the edgy design was in line with the muted colour palette [1] Ortega's been sticking to lately — until someone stained it with blue ink, that is.

About half of the photos from the event show Ortega with a prominent blue smudge on the white part of her dress near the neckline, likely sustained while a fan got her autograph. But she appeared unbothered by the accidental blemish as she posed with her costars [2] at the AMC Lincoln Square Theatre.

Ink stains aside, Ortega's premiere look was still a major win. With input from stylist Enrique Melendez [3], the "Wednesday" star accessorised with two pieces of Tiffany & Co. jewellery: a circular silver ring and silver choker necklace adorned with a pavé diamond pendant shaped like a bean. She also wore peep-toe Jimmy Choo platforms with a nearly six-inch heel and finished the look with red lipstick, a glossy black manicure, and shimmery eye makeup.

Ortega wasn't the only "Scream 6" star dressed to impress for the slasher film's premiere. Melissa Barrera [4] commanded attention in a black cutout Zuhair Murad gown, Jasmin Savoy Brown stunned in a light blue Givenchy slip dress, and Hayden Panettiere [5] chose a silky black minidress and matching jacket. Clad in a black velvet tuxedo jacket, Courteney Cox [6] brought along daughter Coco Arquette, who wore a striking red dress for the evening.
