Ortega & Myers Unveil Dark Elegance in London

Jenna Ortega debuted a look of defiant, almost playful elegance. Her two-piece ensemble, a custom creation, features a cropped, bow-accented bustier and a voluminous, A-line skirt, both rendered in a densely textured black tweed that catches the light like a night sky full of stars. The look—equal parts ingenue and femme fatale—was a clever nod to her character’s aesthetic, but with a grown-up, couture edge. She completed the look with a pair of delicate, barely-there black heels and dark, retro sunglasses that she held with an air of sophisticated mischief. It was a look that whispered, not screamed, its power.

Then, there was Emma Myers. Her look was a sharp, dramatic counterpoint, a bold, architectural statement that commanded the space. She wore a sleek, black leather corset and a slim, high-waisted pencil skirt with a subtle white trim at the hem. The true showstopper, however, was her sleeves: two massive, sculptural puff sleeves, also in black leather, that looked like they were inflated with attitude. The overall effect was powerful, almost intimidating, with a hint of futuristic menace. The sharp angles and rigid materials created a fascinating tension against the historic backdrop of the museum.

Is this the new face of celebrity fashion? The deliberate rejection of predictable glamour in favor of something more stylized, more narrative?

Both actresses were styled impeccably, their hair and makeup narratives tying everything together. Ortega’s hair was pulled back into a simple, sophisticated updo, while Myers wore her hair down with a center part and a smudged, smoky eye that enhanced the fierce mood of her ensemble. Together, they presented a compelling visual dialogue—Ortega’s “Velvet Rebellion” against Myers’s “Cyber Romance”—a masterclass in character-driven style. Much like other popular celebrities, they are using their platform to push the boundaries of style and influence new trends.
