Every now and then, an A-lister will nod to an iconic fashion moment that sends the fashion crowd into a collective swoon.
Achieving just that on Tuesday night, American actress Jenna Ortega stepped out to attend the world premiere of Hurry Up Tomorrow - an upcoming musical psychological thriller film directed and edited by Trey Edward Shults.
The New York-based event saw the 22-year-old turn out a true Sex In The City moment. For the bash, Jenna slipped into the newspaper dress by John Galliano for Dior, featuring a sleek cowl neckline, a slinky silhouette, a midi fit, a monochrome palette and of course, the iconic newspaper print all-over.

Famously worn by Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, the dress became a pop culture icon in its own right.

In this episode, Carrie confronts Natasha, Mr. Big's wife, at a restaurant, leading to a memorable scene where Natasha delivers the sharp retort, "Now not only have you ruined my marriage, you’ve ruined my lunch."
Carrie exits the restaurant and walks through the streets of Manhattan in the rare number, solidifying its status as one of her most memorable fashion moments.

A fine metallic chain adorned her neck, leaving all eyes to fall on her history-making dress that continues to enchant the fashion crowd.
