Jenna Ortega had fans pitying her after a red carpet-appearance back in November 2022. Stepping out in L.A. for The Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Latino Cinema & Television, the 22-year-old actress put on a show-stopping display, but fans reacting to photos of her cheeky sheer dress appeared unimpressed.
While Jenna is fast-rising, she’s also respected for having earned her way up the Hollywood ladder. Users seeing The Daily Mail‘s photos noted her being a great actress, but many felt that she’d gone for a cheap look, with some actually using the word. The most-liked reply saw a user claim that going see-through was “[degrading]” to Jenna, who is now an A-Lister thanks to roles in Wednesday and the Scream franchise.
Jenna Ortega Shows Off Dramatic Red Carpet Style
Channeling goth vibes in all black, Jenna wowed in a long tulle gown that was largely sheer.
Rocking the one-shouldered trend as she highlighted her fit figure, the You actress kept safe up top via opaque fabrics, but her figure-hugging gown was mostly see-through. Various photos taken from behind showed Jenna in her backside-baring undies, and it was likely the cheeky display driving most of the negative comments.
Going floor-length as she teamed her ruched dress with chunky black heels, Jenna injected summery accents into her look from a sandal finish, also keeping glam with a red pedicure to match her nails. Sporting bangs and looking like a Christina Ricci mini-me, Jenna was photographed smiling and holding an award, also looking gorgeous while fully made up. At the time of the photos, Jenna was 20 years old.
Told Dress ‘Degrades’ And ‘Cheapens’ Her
Quickly topping comments was a fan who gained over 130 upvotes for saying: “How sad that she has to degrade herself to get noticed.”
Also popular was a fan replying: “The wrong fabric can turn a classy dress into trash just like that.”
Noting the sheer trend that’s been sweeping Hollywood since before the global pandemic, a third user wished that Jenna hadn’t picked see-through fabrics. “I’m so tired of this “see through” look in formal wear. It cheapens any dress,” they said. While one fan said that Jenna’s look was “horrible,” another replied: “She is a gorgeous girl and has no need to show off her wares like that.”
Jenna is clearly a fan of the black look. Just yesterday, she updated her Instagram with the above photo while walking through a city street as she carried an iced coffee. The star is followed by over 37 million.
