Jenna Ortega Channels Carrie Bradshaw’s Most Iconic Dress Moment

Jenna Ortega is having her Carrie Bradshaw moment. She’s stepping onto the red carpet in a piece that has been a part of pop culture and fashion history. Could you read all about it in Extra, Extra?

Yesterday (May 13), the actor appeared in New York at the premiere of Hurry up Tomorrow wearing the iconic cowl-necked, newspaper print dress from John Galliano’s Dior Fall Winter 2000 collection. As seen in Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw’s character in Sex and the City.

Ortega accessorized the dress with a pair of gold stilettos, a thin bracelet and a dangling pendant. She wore her raven locks straight with her gothic glam signature and kohl-ringed eyes. The actor posed with co-stars The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan on the carpet.

Fashion is always moving forward, and newspaper prints are still a popular choice. Matthieu Blazy’s spring 2024 Bottega Veneta dispatch, for example, features models wearing The Wickstead Times and Stella McCartney’s own The Stella Times. Celebs, including Emily Ratajkowski, Kendall Jenner, and Sarah Jessica Parker, in recent years, have also tried to emulate Bradshaw’s eclectic wardrobe of “investment pieces” with its labels. ” Did you know I spent $40,000 on shoes?

Carrie’s first newspaper dress moment was in season 3, episode 17, of Sex and the City when she ambushes Natasha to confess and apologize for having an affair with Big. The newspaper dress is one of the most memorable moments of the series, not only for the scandal but also for the look. Of course, the apology was a total failure, but what about the style? Fashion history is reborn from the ashes.

Jenna Ortega is having a fashion moment that’s been quite the story. She is still fresh off the Met Gala 2025, where her custom Balmain rule dress was one of the most thoughtful and considered ways to speak to the theme.

Olivier Rousteing designed the look, taking inspiration from art and couture. The look also referred to the humble measuring ruler, which tailors use. The silver gown was a shimmering sheath, with hundreds of rulers forming a form-fitting dress and a plunging bodice. The theme was presented in a feminine, poetic, and reverent way.

Ortega changed into a Barbie pink mini dress and a faux fur maxi coat in greige.

What about this artistic, story-rich era of Galliano at Dior? Jenna Ortega is the perfect fit. Press on!
