The ’70s Ponytail Is Having a Comeback Thanks to Jenna Ortega

At the London press conference for her movie Klara and the Sun, Jenna Ortega embraced this same energy. The actor surprised us with the beauty look, too, considering it’s a complete departure from the gothic vibe she’s been known for in the past. Instead of channeling the Addams family through Wednesday’s braids or Morticia’s sleek, pin-straight hair, as she’s done before, Ortega opted for a ’70s ponytail that feels more in line with the trend cycle this season.

The actor wore a casual ponytail with a center part, loose front strands, and volume at the crown. The result is a messy yet very elegant look, ideal for both a gala event or any day when you want to look stylish and effortless.

Jenna Ortega paired her hairstyle with natural-finish makeup that let her freckles show through, featuring groomed eyebrows, black eyeliner, mascara, and a satin nude lipstick. A beauty look that proves sometimes embracing simplicity can be much more powerful than an over-the-top look.
