Jenna Ortega and her right-hand man and stylist, Enrique Melendez, had a quiet 2026. After being out of the spotlight for most of the summer, the actress returned this month to promote her new movie “Klara and the Sun.” As always, Ortega and Melendez became a dynamic duo when crafting her looks for the press tour, which took her from London to Rome and back to New York. The “Wednesday” star reached for some familiar shoe styles and designers, but also counted on some new designs and footwear brands to complete her looks.
Ortega plays Klara in the movie. Klara is an artificial intelligence friend who wants nothing more than to find the perfect home. It soon meets Josie, a young woman who has a fraught relationship with her mother. But Klara’s innocent wonder and unwavering loyalty soon start to heal the family and bring some light to Josie’s complicated world. The movie was directed by Taika Waititi and hits theaters on Friday. Take a look at all the shoes Ortega wore during the press tour below.
