Jenna Oregta and Winona Ryder just brought gothic glamour to the Venice Film Festival, with Ortega apparently paying tribute to the iconic red wedding dress of Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz from the original film at the Venice Film Festival.

The stars of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opened the 81st edition of the event by posing side by side.

Ortega wore a sheer red two-piece consisting of a heart-shaped top and a pleated bottom that revealed her platform sandals. She completed the look with matching red lips.

Ryder, meanwhile, wore a suit with a short blazer and vest with contrasting buttons, a white button-down shirt and a floor-length skirt.

For the nearly identical fit, Melendez collaborated with Thom Browne, who personalized one of her sweaters with an emblem similar to the one on Ryder’s blazer in the final scene, and Ozias, who designed her handbag for the recently deceased. Her rings included a Suzanne Kalan Golden Milli Stacker Diamond Eternity Band and a Rainbow K Ring Empress Sapphires.

“As I said, Winona Ryder/Lydia Deetz are The BluePrint,” the stylist shared on Instagram.
