When Jenna Ortega showed up at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards on Thursday, October 23, she proved once again that she knows how to wear a sheer dress. The “Wednesday” star appeared in a lilac lace dress that seems like the perfect choice for the event.

She added to the look with a fluffy maroon wrap and silver heels that gave her a bit of a lift. That’s not to mention the lengthy necklace that hung down and sizable ring on her finger.

One Fan Thinks Jenna Looked Like Another Star
Fans certainly approved of what they saw from Jenna at the industry event, and they took to social media to make that clear. Plenty left comments on a Vogue Instagram post featuring Jenna and her sheer look.
“She looks ethereal, this romantic dress matches her perfectly,” one person wrote.
Another person left a comment, saying, “I love her jewelry and dress and of course her! She rocked it.”
“That dress is gorgeous 😍,” a third person wrote.
Someone else said, “Mía Goth vibes 🖤✨” — which is interesting, because Mia Goth also loves a stunning sheer dress or two.
Jenna Was Honoring Her Stylist

“Behind every viral red carpet look is trust. The bond between a stylist and client can make or break an outfit, and when a pair doesn’t have synergy, it shows. When they do, the results speak for themselves, and few pairings come close to stylist Enrique Melendez and red carpet phenom Jenna Ortega,” according to InStyle.
“Whether he’s tapping Zac Posen to design a custom slinky Gap Studio dress for her Wednesday premiere or digging into costume archives for some spooky Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice method dressing, Melendez manages to ace the style brief by, first and foremost, letting Ortega’s individuality shine through,” InStyle continued. “With ingénues like Julia Butters, Lyric Ross, and Jaylen Barron under his wing, as well, the future of the red carpet looks chic.”
The InStyle Imagemaker Awards “celebrate the biggest names behind the entertainment industry’s biggest names, the creatives who are not simply setting trends or innovating new techniques, but who, through their collaborative vision, help these stars — whose image is their currency — achieve all that they are worth. Their clients may be the ones in the spotlight, but the work of this year’s winners deserves its shining moment as well.”
