On September 14, 2025, Jenna Ortega owned the red carpet. Frieda Pinto looked absolutely gorgeous at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards held in the Peacock Theatre at L.A. Live, Los Angeles, California. Famed for her bold fashion statements, Ortega chose a radiant outfit that reflected her individuality and distinct fashion sense.
The starlet shined brightly on her extravagant shirt, which was studded completely with multicolored jewels and pearls. When put under that event’s lights, they just glimmered so brilliantly. She softened this bold statement piece by pairing it with a chic and minimalist black slit skirt for a look that was daring yet demure. Ortega’s almost jet-black locks were pulled back tightly into a sleek ponytail, making her look even more striking.
She wore very little makeup, but it was punchy, emphasizing her high cheekbones and the aggressiveness of her bleached brows. In a recent interview with Elle, Ortega opened up about her beauty routine, explaining how easy it is to keep things simple.
“Sometimes my make-up looks like more because of my eyeliner, but it takes me five minutes,” – Jenna Ortega
All of a sudden, this year’s Emmy Awards became critical for Ortega. She earned an Emmy nomination in 2023 for her breakout performance as Wednesday Addams. As she pushes the upcoming season two of “Wednesday,” she’s continued to serve dominant fashion moments.
In addition to appearing during the event’s live-streamed open house, Ortega will perform along with her co-star — and Broadway veteran — Catherine Zeta-Jones. It’s a remarkable cohort of fellow presenters that they’ll be in the good company with. That list includes the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Sofía Vergara, Mariska Hargitay, and Eric Dane.
Ortega’s presence at the Emmys highlights her rising star power in Hollywood. She remains firmly rooted even as she juggles her deep professional obligations with a world vision at the same time. Her newfound focus on keeping her feet on the ground struck a chord with fans. They look to her with awe and look at her journey in the entertainment industry.
No matter how the evening goes, Ortega’s fashion choice will be the talk of the red carpet. Her impressive trajectory as a presenter will foreshadow her continued rise to power on the big screen. Her talent for fusing luxe glamour with minimalist ease has long established her as a sense-setting style arbiter and one of her fiercest competition.
