Jenna Ortega Finds Another Way to Embrace the Sun
Following her playful archival look for the photocall, Jenna Ortega attended the Rome Film Festival premiere of her new film, Klara and the Sun, on Saturday, continuing her exploration of a lighter, more colourful wardrobe.

This time, she wore a Roberto Cavalli Spring 2027 slip dress in devoré velvet, featuring a painterly gradient of muted florals, earthy greens with a gold pigment.
There is something distinctly archival about this dress, which is hardly surprising considering how much Fausto Puglisi’s latest collection felt like a love letter to Roberto Cavalli’s early 2000s era. Everything about this says it could easily have come from the designer’s archives.
What I particularly love is how the print becomes more concentrated towards the hem, where the gold catches the light beautifully. And while this isn’t as obvious a reference to the sun as her vintage Pierre Cardin dress from the photocall, the gold pigment scattered across the fabric catches the light, creating an almost sun-dappled effect. It’s a more subtle interpretation of the theme, but one that still feels connected to the film.

It’s been refreshing to watch her explore a different side of her style without losing her edge.
Damiani Mimosa jewels and gold Dolce & Gabbana platform sandals completed her look.
Stylist: Enrique Melendez.
