Jenna Ortega and her stylist Enrique Melendez have crafted a boldly witchy style. While they say the devil is in the details, for Ortega last night, it was a delicate golden crucifix that completed her outfit, adding a touch of reverence.

The star of “Wednesday” attended the second day of the 22nd Marrakech Film Festival, where she is serving as a jury member alongside Celine Song, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Bong Joon Ho. Ortega chose a sleek, white silk halterneck gown that draped around her neck like a scarf, featuring a low-cut, backless design. Custom-made by Dolce & Gabbana, the fluid dress was paired with chunky gold platform heels. Jewelry was minimal, except for a ruby ring and bracelet, but a fine chain attached to a piece of fabric on her hips held an intricate gold cross.

Ethereal whites, sensual shapes, and sheer fabrics align with Jenna Ortega’s glamorous, gothic streak—recall her reptilian sheer Ashi Studio couture look and her vintage champagne DKNY dress. Last night’s ensemble stood out dramatically, contrasting sharply with the structured, peplumed black Bevza dress she wore the previous evening.

Her glamour followed a similarly captivating theme. Makeup artist Saskia Ryan gave her smoky, sensual eyes and a deep blood-red lip, while Ortega’s long, cherry cola-colored hair was styled straight and glossy.

In recent times, the Catholic Church has seen an aesthetic shift since the election of Pope Leo XIV. The Pope has embraced celebrity influence, hosting actors and filmmakers such as Cate Blanchett, Monica Bellucci, and Spike Lee at his residence to foster dialogue with the film industry. Since his election earlier this year, he has adopted more traditional, ornate liturgical styles, moving away from the simpler choices of the late Pope Francis.

Meanwhile, with the release of Rosalía’s “LUX,” the Spanish singer has showcased the creative possibilities within religious aesthetics. She has explored divine fashion with McQueen rosary heels, angelic Schiaparelli designs, a Sacred Heart-adorned Vivienne Westwood gown, and even a nun’s habit for her album cover, evoking a sense of spiritual ecstasy.

So, what do you think is Jenna Ortega’s favorite track from “LUX”?
