A bold fashion statement from actress Jenna Ortega became a major talking point on the red carpet at the 2025 Emmy Awards. The star arrived in a striking ensemble centered on a meticulously crafted top composed entirely of gemstones and jewels, leaving her midsection exposed. She paired the intricate piece with a floor-length black skirt featuring a dramatic slit.
Her hairstyle, a sleek bun with a few loose strands, and classic black heels completed the look, which immediately captured attention and ignited a polarized response online.
Reaction to the outfit was sharply divided. Many admirers praised the look on social media, calling it a flawless and effortless victory for the young star, with some declaring her the undisputed queen of the red carpet. However, an equally vocal contingent of critics found the jeweled top to be an excessive misstep, with comments suggesting the design was ill-advised.
Beyond her fashion moment, Ortega is scheduled to be a presenter during the ceremony. She previously received a nomination at the 2023 Emmys for her leading role in the comedy series Wednesday.
In a recent interview, Ortega also shared insights into the highly anticipated second season of the hit Netflix show, describing the new episodes as “darker, bigger, and better.” She highlighted a particularly memorable fencing sequence filmed with co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones and expressed her admiration for working with veteran actors like Christopher Lloyd and Steve Buscemi, who have joined the cast.
