Jenna Ortega’s torn backless dress has fans talking
At a New York City gala celebrating the second season of Wednesday, Jenna Ortega made a striking entrance in a daring backless gown that immediately captured attention. Her gown, created by Zac Posen for GapStudio, was cut from faded gray-purple jersey and styled with a twisted halter neckline. The open back featured a series of cutouts that traveled to her lower back, while a distressed train with shredded edges and braided finishes followed behind.
Ortega chose heavy black platform boots, pairing them with layered gold and silver chains, statement rings, and delicate bracelets. Her hairstyle combined a slick, wet finish with tiny braids. Meanwhile, Ortega’s makeup emphasized her bleached brows with smoky brown shadow, terracotta-toned blush, and a matte mauve lip.
Once photos of the look hit social media, fans quickly weighed in. Some praised the look and styling, while a few criticized it. In the Instagram comments section of the above post, one user wrote, “She looks absolutely stunning! Love that dress- Zac Posen is brilliant.” Another added, “Oh wow… Not sure about that v strap on the front but no one is looking at that.”
Several users also shared their reactions to Ortega’s outfit on X (formerly known as Twitter). One user wrote, “I don’t think this is needed, she’s a really good and cute actress. Who’s the make up artist? Might be jealous of her lol.”
Meanwhile, another added, “I can believe her stylist let this happen. She’s a beautiful actress, but the greasy hair, the painted on freckles, the bleached eyebrows… mistake, mistake, mistake… they should have gotten Helena Bonham Carter’s people for this.”
