A new force on the fashion scene, Jenna Ortega is one of my favourite people to look towards for styling inspiration right now. Favouring wardrobe staples with a preppy twist, the actor’s style is decidedly timeless, wearable and always chic.
Naturally, when I caught wind of Ortega’s arrival at Venice Film Festival I was intrigued. Stepping out in sunny Italy, the actor styled an elevated outfit that captured some of autumn’s most important trends. Wearing a boxy blazer complete with a bold checked print and a pleated beige mini skirt, Ortega’s look was off to a typically stylish start, but it was the actor’s chic shoe pairing that made me do a double take.
Styling a chunky loafers in a rich burgundy shade, Ortega wove autumn’s key colour trend into her outfit in a low-key way that screamed I’m in the know.

Rich, opulent and so easy to work into a capsule wardrobe, this autumn colour trend is dark enough to look like a neutral, yet bold enough to catch your attention. A striking jewel tone, the shade is naturally expensive looking, and pairs well with other jewel shades such as emerald and sapphire, yet looks equally elegant when paired with neutral tones such as brown, black and beige.
Whilst burgundy accessories are having a moment right now, it’s the burgundy loafers trend that fashion people are really buying into for autumn 2024. A thoughtful addition to a smart ensemble, this elevated footwear trend adds dimension and interest to an autumn outfit, without dominating or overwhelming a look.
Ever inspired by Ortega’s elevated taste, read on to shop her look, as well as the autumn shoe trend she’s backing right now.
