After wearing a bold dress at the 2025 Emmy Awards, Jenna Ortega has made a new request to her stylist. The 22-year-old actress wore a Givenchy jeweled gown inspired by Death Becomes Her, which her stylist said weighed “a good 20, 30 pounds at least.” Now, she’s asking for a change.
On Jess Lucero’s Plus One show, the Wednesday actress’s stylist, Enrique Melendez, said, “You can’t really modify something like that [because] it’s a totally couture piece. It was meant to be.” He added, “With this Givenchy look, she’s like, ‘Enrique, I love you, but can we please do something more practical next time?'” He admitted, “That thing was digging into her poor collarbone.”
Enrique, who has worked with Jenna since she was 14, insisted that she wasn’t worried about any potential wardrobe malfunctions. “She actually was like, ‘Enrique, I’m not actually concerned about a slip, but I want to be respectful to the Academy, obviously,'” he said. “I’m worried about a slip; we used proper tape and everything. It was more so our first time doing something this revealing at all,” Enrique mentioned.
Jenna’s extravagant look at the 2025 Emmy Awards was a departure from her typical “super simple” fashion style. Enrique told the Hollywood Reporter in a recent chat, “Jenna’s personal style is super simple, super streamlined. She would wear the same thing if she could every single day.” He concluded, “I tell her thank you, because a lot of times, it’s just for me.”
