Jenna Ortega is the queen of reinventing outfits.
Ortega, 21, stepped out in a familiar outfit to all Beetlejuice fans while strutting through New York City on Monday, August 19. Her Thom Browne ensemble, which Winona Ryder wore in 1988 while filming Beetlejuice, featured a navy blue cardigan complete with a gold embroidered circle on the chest. Just like Ryder’s costume, Ortega, who plays Astrid Deetz in the Beetlejuice sequel, completed her getup with a white cropped collared blouse and a plaid green skirt.
The actress topped her look off with strappy heels, dark sunglasses and a brown purse in the shape of a book that read, “Handbag for the recently deceased,” referencing the guidebook that was seen in Beetlejuice for new spirits in the afterlife.
For glam, she donned pink lips. Her brunette hair was parted down the middle and worn straightened, with her curtain bangs framing her face.
