Jenna Ortega and her stylist Enrique Melendez have been making bold fashion statements during her Wednesday press tour. Today in Midtown Manhattan, the actress put her own spin on Christian Dior’s iconic New Look, wearing an outfit from Willy Chavarria’s spring 2026 menswear collection.
Dior first introduced this signature style—a fitted bar jacket with a cinched waist and full skirt—back in February 1947, creating a fresh post-war aesthetic. Nearly 80 years later, the New Look remains timeless. Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior’s former creative director, frequently revisited the silhouette, dressing stars like Monica Barbaro and Yseult in modern versions of the classic design.
Ortega’s take featured a gray single-button jacket with sharp shoulders, a structured waist, and a double collar. Rather than the traditional full skirt, she paired it with Chavarria’s sleek pencil midi. Her accessories made just as much impact—a dramatic black saucer hat, sunglasses, and Christian Louboutin’s viral pointe shoe pumps completed the look.
Throughout her press tour, Ortega has shown how to do modern red-carpet style right. Melendez has dressed her in everything from a reptilian-inspired Ashi Studios gown to a corseted Vivienne Westwood dress and an edgy leather creation by Sarah Burton for Givenchy—each look striking the perfect balance between fashion-forward and wearable. Now, Ortega is putting her own stamp on the New Look for a new generation.
