When it comes to wardrobe malfunctions, a pen slip is better than a nip slip, as US actress Jenna Ortega can attest to.
The Wednesday star walked the red carpet at the Scream VI premiere with a blue ink stain on her dress in New York this week.
The 20-year-old was reportedly signing autographs at the star-studded premiere when a blue Sharpie made contact with her couture, Page Six reports.
“The pen stain is taking me OUT,” one fan tweeted of the fashion faux pas, while another added, “I bet she’s so damn mad.”
Ortega appeared unbothered and confidently posed for photos, despite having the noticeable spot on her outfit.
The Netflix star looked stylish in her menswear-inspired Jean Paul Gaultier ensemble resembling a deconstructed tuxedo.
She finished the look with black heels and jewellery by Tiffany & Co, along with a bright red lip.
It’s no surprise the horror-flick favourite was unfazed by the ink, as she posed for an Instagram photo covered in fake blood last November.
And like the acting roles Ortega takes on, her style also leans towards the spooky side. She memorably wore a black lace gown and matching veil to the premiere of Wednesday in November 2022.
Ortega has made her mark on the horror genre since getting her start in Hollywood. Along with her role in Scream IV, she starred in American Carnage and X.
“I never want to be pigeonholed, but I have immense respect for the horror genre,” she told People in December 2022.
“It’s incredibly hard for me to turn down a good horror script and I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of it in recent years.”
Ortega has also been taking Instagram by storm.
Page Six reported last year that the actress gained 10 million new Instagram followers in the days after Wednesday hit Netflix. As of Tuesday, she has a whopping 40 million followers on the platform.
