At the Emmys 2025, Jenna Ortega captivated the red carpet with a daring, fashion-forward look that perfectly balanced sensuality and sophistication. The 22-year-old actor known for her fearless red carpet choices and darkly romantic style, embraced the evolving “naked dress” trend with a moody twist that was anything but expected.

Wearing a stunning Givenchy creation from the Fall/Winter 2025 ready-to-wear collection — the first full season designed by Sarah Burton for the house — Ortega stood out in a bejeweled top delicately embroidered with jet-black, red and silver crystals. The intricate detailing offered an ethereal shimmer, strategically placed to leave just enough to the imagination. Paired with a sleek, low-waisted black skirt that flowed to the ground, with a simple slit, the ensemble redefined modern red carpet glamour with an undercurrent of goth-chic elegance with a newfound twist on the ultra-popular “naked dress” trend.

Celebrity stylist Enrique Melendez, who has long collaborated with Ortega on her signature edgy-meets-glam aesthetic, styled the look to perfection. Her beauty choices added to the look’s intensity: Ortega’s hair was pulled back and worn straight with a soft, subtle wave at the ends, creating an effortless frame for her face. A deep maroon lip punctuated the drama, offering a vampy contrast to her porcelain skin. She kept accessories minimal, letting the dress speak volumes, and opted for simple, pointed black heels to elongate her frame without distracting from the outfit’s details.
