Jenna Ortega is busy promoting Beetlejuice Beetlejuice right now—and she’s doing a pretty epic job. She delivered a masterclass in method dressing every time she hit the red carpet, and paid haute couture homage to the original film with many of her amazing outfits.

New York Press

Ortega fully embraced goth glam while promoting Beetlejuice 2 around New York. She mostly wore stripped tailored suits by such designers as Dolce & Gabbana and Vivienne Westwood, paying homage to Beetlejuice’s suit from the first film.

Venice Press Call

Despite rocking his iconic striped suit for most of the first film, Beetlejuice showed up wearing red at the wedding – and Ortega’s burgundy power suit by Paul Smith from Venice was a clear nod to this look.

Venice Premiere

After honoring Beetlejuice with several red carpet looks, Wednesday star paid homage to Lydia Deetz at the film’s world premiere in Venice. The heart-shaped top and pleated bottom of her red Dior gown were a clear love letter to Lydia Deetz’s iconic wedding dress.

London Premiere

Ortega hit the red carpet in London in a teal and black Harris Reed gown, referencing Delia Deetz’s quirky sculptures in the process. She sealed the deal with an Ozia purse modeled after the Deetz’s haunted home.
