The 21-year-old actress walked the red carpet in London on Thursday (29.08.24) in a custom black and teal Harris Reed gown, and her "sleek and modern" hairstyle was a homage to the look sported by her on-screen grandmother in her first outing as Delia Deetz in the 1988 movie.
Hairstylist Bobby Eliot said in a statement to JustJared.com: “The inspiration for the London premiere was sleek and modern. She’s wearing custom Harris Reed.
"We did a small detail to honour and pay homage to Catherine O’Hara’s iconic hair in the original 'Beetlejuice'."
Bobby also gave the outlet a step-by-step guide to achieving the look, revealing he first applied Fenty Hair The Protective Type 5-In-1 Heat Protectant Styler all over Jenna's locks to "protect, hydrate, smooth, defrizz, detangle, and prep the hair before heat styling".
He then blow dried the 'Wednesday' actress' tresses straight for maximum shine and added clin-in extensions for volume, before flat ironing her hair to keep it "sleek and straight".
To finish the look Bobby used Fenty Hair The Controlling Type Hair-Thickening Edge Control Gel and Fenty Hair The Side Stick 3-In-1 Edge Styling Tool in order to "detail a little hair swirl design on the sides of the face, which was a modern take on actress Catherine O’Hara’s famous wavy side hairstyle in the original 'Beetlejuice' movie."
To complete her look, Jenna - who has referenced the original movie a number of times in her press tour for 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' - carried an Ozias purse in the shape of the iconic house featured in both films in the franchise.
Designer Marc Ozias said on the brand's Instagram page: "As a young bag designer, I immediately knew the 'Beetlejuice' Press Tour would be one of the biggest projects of my life so far.
"I wanted it to be spectacular, I wanted to help @jennaortega to pay tribute to the amazing director that is @timburton and most of all I wanted to create a bridge between leatherwork and cinema. All of that was made possible by @mrenriquemelendez
"I knew I wanted to recreate the iconic 'Beetlejuice' house no matter how challenging it would be. And the result will forever remain in my heart and in the heart of my brand."
