Our 2024 Venice Film Festival coverage kicks off with Jenna Ortega, who attended the photocall for her new film, ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ this morning.
As summer gives way to fall, we’ve seen celebrities start to embrace autumnal hues, and Jenna’s look is a perfect embodiment of this seasonal shift. However, her choice of a custom Paul Smith double-breasted burgundy suit is more than just a nod to the changing leaves; it also captures the darkness and mysterious nature of the horror film she is promoting.
What stands out immediately is the flawless fit of the suit. There’s no doubt that this is a true custom creation, tailored to perfection to highlight Jenna’s petite frame while still conveying power and sophistication. The suit’s sharp lines and tailored structure are softened by the rich, burgundy colour which exudes an understated elegance.
But what I love most about this look is the two-toned burgundy wool blazer. It’s a small detail, but it makes a significant impact, injecting a unique contrast that elevates the ensemble and provides a contemporary point of interest. This is not just a suit—it’s a statement. The subtle play of textures and tones adds depth, making the outfit visually dynamic without straying into gimmicky territory.
In many ways, this outfit reflects what has been one of the most flawless press tours we’ve seen since Margot Robbie’s iconic Barbie tour last year. Jenna Ortega has consistently delivered looks carefully chosen to reflect the spirit of the project she is promoting while also showcasing her evolving personal style.
And now, with this stunning start to her Venice appearances, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for what Jenna will bring to the red carpet this evening. She has set a high bar with this daytime look, and I fully expect her to surprise us again. Her fashion choices have become as much a part of the conversation as her film roles, and she has proven herself to be a style chameleon, capable of unexpected sartorial shifts that keep us all guessing.
So, as we wait for tonight’s premiere, I find myself eagerly anticipating her next move. If her past looks are any indication, we’re in for something spectacular.
