Jenna Ortega’s latest magazine cover is a masterclass in quiet, cinematic cool. She presents a look that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in the past, a clever visual shorthand for her breakout success via a global streaming platform. Her hair, styled in a deep brunette wave with a singular, perfect pin curl against her forehead, is a direct nod to classic screen sirens of the 1940s and ’50s. It’s a bold choice that immediately sets the tone.
The fashion is equally compelling. She wears what appears to be a sleek, high-necked jacket or coat in a glossy, dove-gray material, with a sharp, architectural collar that frames her face. This is a study in texture and shine, the soft sheen of the fabric contrasting with the delicate sparkle of her accessories. A multi-layered silver chain necklace drapes elegantly around her neck, complemented by small, understated pearl earrings. Her makeup is flawless, a soft smoky eye and a dusty rose lip providing a subtle color palette that lets the strength of her expression—a knowing, playful smirk—take center stage.
The fashion spread title, “Flux de stars,” with its subheading “Dorénavant, la gloire passe par le streaming” (Stars in flux: From now on, glory comes via streaming), perfectly captures the new Hollywood reality Ortega represents. She is the face of a successful Netflix series, “Mercredi” (Wednesday), a show that has redefined celebrity for a digital generation. This editorial is not just a portrait; it’s a cultural commentary, a nod to how the new guard is finding its place in a radically changed media landscape.
