Method dressing has taken Hollywood by storm, and it’s not just about getting into character; it’s about living the role. The trend has been championed by the likes of Barbie and Challengers, where actors don’t just don costumes—they inhabit them. It’s a phenomenon that transforms red carpets into movie scenes and every paparazzi moment into a performance review. Enter Jenna Ortega, who’s taking this trend to a whole new level with her role in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Ortega has famously embraced method dressing with a fervour that’s both impressive and slightly eerie. Previously playing Wednesday Addams, Ortega is no stranger to goth glam method dressing. In true Beetlejuice fashion, she is fully embodying the whimsical, supernatural essence of her character.
Let’s dive into some of our favourite Ortega outfits.
