Jenna Ortega stole all the attention as she dazzled on the red carpet at The Gallerist premiere in Park City.

The 23-year-old actress, famous for her sky-high Louboutins, shredded dresses, and pirate corsets, revealed a softer side of her usually gothic-glam wardrobe.

Jenna swapped her dark vampy vibes for a nude Mugler tailored shirt and belted midi skirt, which she completed with stiff collars and two-tone panels.

Notably, she was styled by Enrique Melendez as the look stayed sleek with archival pointed beige pumps and subtle jewellery.

Makeup artist Melanie Inglessis went light and dewy, trading smoky eyes and plummy lips for flushed cheeks, reddish-toned nude lips, and bleached brows.

Moreover, Dom Forletta kept her dark hair glossy and straight in a chic middle part.

The Wednesday star posed alongside co-star Natalie Portman and Charli XCX, whose nude mini-dress and clear PVC poncho kept the colour palette on point but with a playful twist.

The Gallerist, directed by Cathy Yan, sees Portman’s ambitious gallerist hatch a wacky plan to sell a dead body as art with Jenna as her right-hand assistant in chaos and couture.

Though she teased a lighter look, fashion insiders say don’t expect Ortega to ditch her signature dark-and-sensual style any time soon.
