Jenna Ortega Seeks Stylist for ‘Practical’ Looks Post 2025 Emmys Outfit

Jenna Ortega wowed at the 2025 Emmy Awards with her stunning Givenchy look, inspired by Death Becomes Her, but it came with a cost. Her stylist, Enrique Melendez, shared that the bejeweled top she wore weighed a hefty 20-30 pounds, causing discomfort throughout the night. Melendez explained that the most challenging part wasn’t keeping the outfit in place, but rather the weight that was digging into her collarbone.

During an appearance on Jess Lucero’s Plus One show, Melendez opened up about the challenges of putting together such a look, which was eye-catching but not the most practical. Ortega herself even asked for more “practical” outfits by the end of the night, showcasing her focus on comfort alongside style.

Despite the physical challenges, Ortega remained committed to the moment, enduring the weight for the sake of fashion. While she dazzles on the red carpet, her day-to-day style is much simpler, according to Melendez, who revealed that Ortega prefers a super streamlined and simple look in her personal life.
