Jenna Ortega made a stylish red carpet appearance at the 2025 Marrakech International Film Festival, wearing a silky ivory Dolce & Gabbana dress that left no doubt about her status as one of fashion’s boldest young stars. The “Wednesday” actor served as the youngest-ever juror for the festival, and she did not waste the moment. Enrique Melendez styled Ortega in custom Dolce & Gabbana — a nod to old Hollywood with a touch of her usual dark romance aesthetic.
Jenna Ortega wows in Dolce & Gabbana dress at 2025 Marrakech International Film Festival
Jenna Ortega’s D&G dress for the second day of the 22nd Marrakech International Film Festival turned heads on the red carpet. It featured a fluid, bias-cut design in soft satin, wrapping around her neck in a chic halter and then flowing into a scarf-like panel down her open back. Overall, the gown gave Ortega a sophisticated look while being true to her style.
But if you look closely, you will notice the real standout detail: her waist with a draped belt. Subtle detail, yes, but impossible to ignore once you see it. The belt featured a gold chain and an attached cross that dangled down the side of her thigh, giving the gown a noticeable edge. It was a bold choice, but it got everybody talking.
Notably, the bold styling choice was a different but daring addition to an otherwise classic dress, and the placement added a religious undertone true to Dolce & Gabbana’s signature design DNA, reminiscent of the label’s Catholic influences from past collections.
The actor kept her long, straight hair down, letting it frame her bleached brows. Meanwhile, her makeup, which was done by Dior Beauty’s Saskia Ryan, accentuated her face with glowy highlighter, heavy lashes, and that dark burgundy lipstick that never fails her. While the fit and seams of the D&G dress were slightly out of place, it is safe to say that Ortega still looked radiant at the event. We do not exactly know her secret, but her confidence certainly worked like a charm.
