Jenna Ortega’s look at the 2025 Emmy Awards caught attention for its bold mix of film history and modern fashion. Her outfit was more than just a red carpet choice. It was a direct reference to the 1992 movie Death Becomes Her.
In the film, Isabella Rossellini played Lisle von Rhuman, a woman with an ageless face and an elaborate jeweled costume. Ortega’s top was created as a tribute to that look. It bridged the gap between old Hollywood and a new audience.
The star has often chosen outfits that connect to her roles or pop culture moments. This time, she used her Emmys appearance to highlight both her gothic image and her love of cinema.
What was special about Jenna Ortega's jewel-encrusted dress?
The top was made by Givenchy and designed by Sarah Burton. It was covered with large jewels, pearls, and crystals. Every piece was made from recycled vintage jewelry.
The look echoed Rossellini’s jeweled bustier from Death Becomes Her. Ortega’s version had a “broken chandelier” style, using rubies, quartz, and pearls. It was more modern but still held the original movie feel.
She wore a simple black high-slit skirt with it. The plain skirt allowed the top to stand out. The design was about a balance between film reference and red carpet style.
