Jenna Ortega stole the show at the opening of the 81st Venice International Film Festival with an outfit as striking as it was symbolic. For the world premiere of "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", the actress chose to wear a Dior Haute Couture gown in a dazzling red, reminiscent of Lydia Deetz's famous wedding dress from the 1988 cult film. This bold and elegant choice reflects the homage the actress pays to Winona Ryder, star of the first film, with whom she now shares the screen.

The Dior gown, the result of 600 hours of meticulous work, stands out with its heart-shaped backless bodice and pleated red tulle skirt. The delicate neckline, held by spaghetti straps, and the voluminous sheer skirt created an ethereal silhouette that dazzled the red carpet. Underneath this gown, Jenna Ortega wore red mini-shorts for a modern and daring effect.
