Jenna Ortega was spotted yesterday in a casual and cute ensemble while in New York. Ortega is currently in the city to promote her upcoming film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”

The “X” actress flattered her feet in a pair of black leather loafers. Ortega’s pair featured lush black leather uppers, almond-shaped toes and a slip-on construction. Short stacked block heels rounded out the set, offering the thespian a subtle boost in height. Paired with ankle-length white socks, the shoe offers a preppy touch, giving Ortega’s look a sophisticated heir without much effort at all. From models to actresses, the loafer is beloved by many stars on the go.

Unlike oxfords, which can lean more formal, loafers are casual and comfortable thanks to their lack of laces. Paired with baggy denim or a boho-inspired maxi skirt, the classic silhouette goes with just about everything. Similar styles to Ortega’s own can be purchased from top brands like Coach, Rag & Bone, Madewell, Banana Republic and Cole Haan, just to name a few.

Simple but stylish, the “You” star wore a breezy white dress with a flouncy flared skirt. Overtop, Ortega donned a long-sleeve black cardigan, keeping her extra cozy. Draped crossbody, the young thespian toted a quilted black leather bag with gold hardware.

Ortega often elevates her looks with height-boosting footwear on and off the red carpet. The “Wednesday” star can regularly be seen on public outings in platform-soled boots and pumps from a range of brands, including Jimmy Choo, Steve Madden and Valentino. Off-duty, she wears thick-soled Dr. Martens platform boots and Adidas sneakers.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic, promises to bring a fresh twist to the beloved story. With Jenna Ortega taking on a leading role, fans can expect a thrilling mix of humor, fantasy, and gothic charm. The film is set for release on Sept. 2024.
