Jenna Ortega Stuns in Jimmy Choo Heels While Brushing Off Scream VI Red Carpet Wardrobe Malfunction

Wednesday breakout star Jenna Ortega had the best reaction to her minor wardrobe malfunction at the world premiere of her latest slasher movie, Scream VI, theatrically released on March 10, 2023.

The 20-year-old actress slayed the AMC Lincoln Square Theater red carpet in a black-and-white hybrid tuxedo dress created by Olivier Rousteing, Balmain’s Creative Director, for Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2022 Haute Couture collection.

The sleek, contemporary, deconstructed number featured a shoulder-baring black blazer with wide, structured silk lapels that were left open and layered over a white strapless dress.

The shirt-style base was partially unbuttoned, showing Ortega’s cleavage, creating a deep plunging neckline held together by a sheer nude panel.

Not letting a minor wardrobe malfunction ruin her moment, Jenna continued to pose for the cameras while looking unbothered.

How Wednesday Changed Jenna Ortega’s Style

Recently, Jenna Ortega opened up about how her breakout role in Netflix’s Wednesday has altered her personal sense of style.

“I do think that Wednesday changed my taste a lot. I have a hard time getting her off of me, at least clothing-wise,” she told InStyle.

“It’s also something that I’ve always wanted to do. I just never felt like I could. I feel like there were always a lot of voices and opinions that I used to place too much value in.”

Ortega’s recent red-carpet outfits, such as her Versace black gown for the SAG Awards, her gothic Versace bridal gown for the Wednesday premiere, and her Saint Laurent look during Paris Fashion Week, all strongly evoke Wednesday Addams.
