Jenna Ortega is pulling from the archives.
The Wednesday star arrived at the Hurry Up Tomorrow world premiere in New York on Tuesday, May 13, in a vintage Christian Dior design, which was famously worn by one of New York City’s finest: Sex and the City‘s Carrie Bradshaw.
Ortega, 22, who became an ambassador for the fashion house in 2023, arrived in a memorable newspaper print dress. The famed design debuted at the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2000 show at Paris Fashion Week, according to L’Officiel USA. At the time, John Galliano was the creative director of Dior.
Notably, there were two versions of the dress. One is a longer gown that appeared on the Paris Fashion Week runway. The second is the one familiar to audiences. It is a form-fitting midi-length dress that Carrie wore — and now Ortega is wearing.

Ortega opted to accessorize differently from the SATC character. The actress wore gold open-toe heel sandals and a gold pendant necklace that matched the dress’ gold hardware.
The Scream star’s makeup also coordinated with the ensemble’s colors, and she had a deep smoky eye that was topped off with gold eye shadow. Again, unlike Carrie, Ortega wore her black hair in a sleek straight blowout, while Carrie’s hair was styled in her blonde wavy hairdo.

Carrie wore the dress in season 3, episode 17, “What Goes Around Comes Around,” which premiered in October 2000. She paired the dress with her signature gold nameplate necklace. Parker’s character resurrected the dress years later and rewore it in 2010’s Sex and the City 2. In the feature film, she wears the iconic dress with Christian Louboutin Bridget Strass peep-toe black booties and a white feather clutch.
In the years since Carrie wore it on the streets of New York, a couple of celebrity models have been photographed wearing dresses that seem to be inspired by the look.
In April 2023, Emily Ratajkowski sported Miaou’s “Karina” dress. The halterneck dress gave the effect of newspaper print, but it was actually printed with black and white “Signal Ahead” street signs, per Cosmopolitan.
In July 2023, Ashley Graham wore a Clio Peppiatt Vic minidress, which included a beaded newspaper print in blue, silver and black, as well as Swarovski additions along the neckline, perWomen’s Wear Daily.
