Jenna Ortega On The ‘Beetlejuice’ Outfit Link With Winona Ryder

On the Venice Film Festival, Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder, who star together in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” had a very spontaneous matching moment.

Dior ambassador Enrique Melendez has been celebrating the classic “Beetlejuice” film throughout the film’s press tour, and Ortega continued this homage with a surprising Dior Haute Couture red tulle dress on the Palazzo del Cinema in Italy.

Jenna Ortega’s red gown paid tribute to the long-lasting 1988 wedding scene from the unique film, featuring Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz and Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice, which perfectly complemented Winona Ryder’s black Chanel skirt suit.

The duo, together with the remainder of the “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” solid, kicked off the 81st edition of the film festival by posing side-by-side on the red carpet.

“We didn’t even discuss it,” Ortega told People Magazine. “No, I don’t know if she noticed but it surely was funny because, we didn’t discuss all of it, but we each were wearing tulle skirts so it’s type of fun that we were mentally intertwined and we didn’t know it.”

Ryder’s Chanel outfit also included a cropped blazer and vest with contrasting buttons, paired with a white button-up shirt. Each ladies wore their dark brown hair in elegant buns as their bands hung of their faces.

In the course of the “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” premiere on the Venice Film Festival on August 28, Ortega didn’t hesitate to arise for her friend and co-star after photographers repeatedly asked Ryder to remove her sunglasses for photos.

As Ryder hesitated to remove the shades, Ortega stepped in to reassure her, saying, “No, you don’t need to,” telling Ryder to maintain her sunglasses if she desired to.

Ahead of the film’s premiere, the 21-year-old sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss her “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” character, Astrid, whom she described as “weird, but differently and never in the best way you’d assume, I might say.”

“The connection between Lydia and Astrid, my character, could be very essential,” she said of her character’s relationship with Ryder’s character. “And it’s also really strange since it’s numerous catching up and putting the pieces together of what’s gone on in Lydia’s life since, which is good, I feel, for anybody who loves the character and is happy to see her again.”

Ortega added that while she “looks like studios nowadays want people in seats” and in order that they “do reboots or sequels or things like that to get people entwined,” but bringing back “Beetlejuice” and “all the stories is so good because people have to revisit weird, strange, off-putting stories again.”

“We want to introduce the younger generation that’s at all times on the phone to latest artistic and inventive ideas,” she continued. “The weirder you get with it, the more people you may get to see it, I feel will probably do quite a bit for film usually.”

The “Beetlejuice” sequel reunites Michael Keaton with Tim Burton, in addition to original solid members Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara. Latest additions to the solid include Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe.

The story centers on the tense relationship between Lydia Deetz, portrayed by Ryder, and her daughter, played by Ortega. “She was so warm and welcoming and sort and welcoming right from the jump, and I couldn’t be more grateful,” Ortega told The Latest York Times of Ryder. “The best way Winona and I got along was quite weird. It was like we were reading one another’s minds slightly bit.”

“She just made me feel really, really beautiful and special,” Ortega added, before revealing just how essential Ryder’s support really was. “And that was, again, during that point, it meant the world to me.”

In a chat with Screen Rant, Ryder echoed the feelings expressed by her co-star. “I do not think I’ve ever bonded with someone like I did with Jenna,” she told the outlet. “It was insane.”
