Talking about her new job with WWD, Jenna said, “I love that Dior beauty is about celebrating people’s natural beauty and building products that let it shine through. I hope in working with them, I can encourage people to realize how easy makeup and beauty can be, and how a few perfectly made products can elevate the way you communicate and make your every day life more exciting.”
Under her partnership with Dior, Ortega will closely collaborate with the company’s creative and image director for makeup, Peter Philips, at the LVMH Moët Hennessy-owned fashion company. The partnership is meant to impact and redefine beauty trends of today, far beyond the red carpet looks. Jenna had these words of reflection on this opportunity, “Being part of it is incredibly exciting and surreal.”
Professionally, Ortega is gearing up to return as Wednesday Addams for the second season of Wednesday. She will also star in Taika Waititi’s Klara and the Sun. Her most recent film, Hurry Up Tomorrow, which released on May 16 in the US, features her alongside The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan in this musical psychological thriller.
