Jenna Ortega had her own Sex and the City moment in this iconic Carrie Bradshaw dress

Jenna Ortega is paying her respects to iconic moments in TV history with her latest look, which has been ripped straight from Carrie Bradshaw’s closet.

Throughout the six seasons of the original Sex and the City series, plus the two films and the spin-off And Just Like That, there have been several memorable looks: There’s the pink tulle mini from the title sequence, Bradshaw’s not-wedding dress by Vivienne Westwood, and the belt Bradshaw wore over bare skin. But this dress is probably one of the first things every fashion girl wants in her closet. Of course we’re talking about the newspaper dress from the Dior autumn/winter 2000/2001 collection by John Galliano. (The dress first appears in season 3, episode 17, if you’re planning a rewatch.)

Several stars have worn similar dresses over the years, but Ortega chose the original for the May 13 premiere of her new film, Hurry Up Tomorrow. Her full look is clearly an homage to the styling from the series: minimalist gold jewellery matches the gold hardware on the straps of the dress, which Ortega paired with matching strappy gold heels.

Ortega proved at this year’s Met Gala that she knows what a red carpet look is all about. Her tailored Balmain dress by creative director Olivier Rousteing was one of the most beautiful fashion moments at the prestigious event.
