Jenna Ortega made a stunning fashion statement at the world premiere of “Hurry Up Tomorrow” in New York on May 13, 2025, by channeling a classic look from the past. The 22-year-old star of “Wednesday” donned a vintage Christian Dior dress, reminiscent of one famously worn by Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex and the City.”
This eye-catching ensemble features a memorable newspaper print and originally made its debut during the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2000 show at Paris Fashion Week, directed by John Galliano. Ortega’s choice reflects a strong connection to the fashion legacy established in the early 2000s as she became an ambassador for the fashion house in 2023.
The dress comes in two versions, with Ortega opting for a form-fitting midi-length style that mirrors the one worn by Carrie, who originally showcased the dress in the show’s third season during the episode titled “What Goes Around Comes Around.” Ortega styled her look distinctly; she complemented the dress with gold open-toe heel sandals and a matching pendant necklace, diverging from Carrie’s classic accessories.
Notably, Ortega’s makeup harmonized beautifully with the ensemble, featuring a dramatic smoky eye enhanced with gold eyeshadow. She also chose a sleek, straight hairstyle, contrasting with Carrie’s iconic wavy blonde locks.
Over the years, inspired variations of this iconic newspaper print have also been seen on other celebrities. Emily Ratajkowski wore a similar halterneck dress designed by Miaou that echoed the theme in April 2023. Ashley Graham also embraced the look with a beaded minidress featuring a newspaper print in July 2023, adding a modern twist to the nostalgic design.
“Hurry Up Tomorrow” is set to premiere in theaters on May 16, promising an exciting release to look forward to. Jenna Ortega’s fashion choice not only connects to the rich history of style depicted in “Sex and the City,” but it also showcases her ability to blend contemporary fashion with vintage influences, creating a captivating look that resonates with audiences.
