Jenna Ortega suffers wardrobe malfunction on ‘Scream VI’ red carpet

When it comes to wardrobe malfunctions, a slip of the pen is better than a nip slip.

Jenna Ortega walked the red carpet at the “Scream VI” premiere with a blue ink stain on her dress at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City Monday night.

The “Wednesday” actress, 20, was reportedly signing autographs at the star-studded premiere when a blue Sharpie made contact with her couture.

“The pen stain is taking me OUTTT,” one fan tweeted of the fashion faux pas, while another added, “I BET SHES SO DAMN MAD RN.”

Ortega appeared unbothered and confidently posed for photos on the carpet, despite having a noticeable spot on her outfit.

She finished the look with black heels and jewelry by Tiffany & Co, along with a bright red lip.

It’s no surprise the horror-flick favorite 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 toward the spooky side. She memorable 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.
