Most recently, at the 2023 Met Gala, Ortega was dressed by Thom Browne in a slightly Victorian look, complete with a corset, tiered skirt, and white collared shirt. That gothic yet preppy aesthetic couldn’t be more similar to Lydia’s wardrobe on screen especially that iconic scene where she floats up in the air and dances to Harry Belafonte s “Jump in the Line,” while wearing a full tartan skirt and black blazer. Now, does Ortega’s personal fashion tastes have anything to do with her being cast in Beetlejuice 2? Likely not that can be attributed to her acting chops. But you can’t deny that her own aesthetic couldn’t be more perfect for the job. Should the costume designers need inspiration for Ortega’s new character, they should consider diving into the actor’s own closet as a mood board She clearly has more than a few garments that could work.
When you think of formal evening wear, “effortless” may not be the first adjective that comes to mind but this week, the best dressed stars on the red carpet proved that dressing up doesn’t have to mean wearing a complicated design. Hollywood A listers opted for simple, slinky fabrications that still felt polished and elegant. The tip for pulling off a minimal gown? It’s all in the silhouette, color, and, of course, the great statement accessories that come with it. At the Fast X premiere in Rome, actor Brie Larson wore an archival Versace gown. Its plunging neckline added an instant wow factor to the otherwise pared back look. At the same event, Charlize Theron chose Dior’s black sheer couture dress, which exposed a mini skirt and bra underneath. Paired with a beret and sky high heels, the look felt elevated and fresh. An exposed bra is becoming a bit of a trend Jennifer Lopez also embraced the look at the premier of her film The Mother in L.A. She went tonal in Brunello Cucinelli, pairing a cream bra top with a long overcoat and high waisted floor length skirt.
