Additionally, Ortega completed her look with a unique accessory channeling iconic Beetlejuice house.

“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,” he continued.
He concluded, “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.”
