Jenna Ortega called back to the early aughts at Tuesday night’s Hurry Up Tomorrow premiere in New York City.

The 22-year-old Wednesday sensation — who attended last week’s Met Gala — showed off her petite figure in a slinky, low-cut ‘newspaper’ mini dress covered in article clippings.

Her vintage look was pulled from Christian Dior’s Fall/Winter 2000 collection by John Galliano.

It was made famous in part by Sarah Jessica Parker, who wore it in a season three episode of HBO’s Sex and the City.

Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski wore iterations of the piece in 2019 and 2022 respectively.

For Monday night’s star-studded event, Jenna punctuated the recognizable dress with strappy open-toe gold heels.

She accessorized with subtle, understated gold jewelry and flashed a nude pink manicure.

Her chocolatey brunette locks, cut into a long bob, were parted down the middle with the ends curled slightly.

The star was joined on the red carpet by Hurry Up Tomorrow producer-star The Weeknd and co-star Barry Keoghan.

The Weeknd, born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, wore a long brown coat on top of a black outfit.

He added black leather gloves and aviator sunglasses.

His horror film, about an insomniac musician who gets roped into an unexpected, life-threatening relationship with a stranger, hit theaters on May 16. 

It was directed by Trey Edward Shults and produced by Lionsgate. 

After his 2023 scripted TV series The Idol was panned, the 35-year-old Canadian crooner is giving acting another shot.

He shared the first images from his upcoming film debut in February.

He released his sixth studio album with the same name as the film — Hurry Up Tomorrow — on January 31.

With the music serving as inspiration for its cinematic counterpart, he released four promotional posters at the time, including one of him screaming in agony as Jenna gently holds his face.

The feature debut comes after Tesfaye faced harsh criticism for his ‘nonexistent’ acting skills in his HBO series The Idol, which also starred Lily-Rose Depp.

Barry looked polished in a black bomber jacket and light-colored plaid trousers on Monday.

The 32-year-old Irish actor sported a button-up white shirt under his outer layer, and completed the getup with black dress boots.

He rocked a shadow of a bear and his crop of copper-toned hair was stylishly tousled.
