At CinemaCon, that took place on April 1, 2025, in Las Vegas, Ortega impressed everyone with her significant presence. She has appeared with a face that sent out a trend with the bleached eyebrows, which is a very bold decision and a 180-degree turn from her signature dark features. The overall look was completed with a custom purple Versace outfit that later earned her the nickname of Doja Cat and Gabbriette, the high fashion icons.
According to her make-up artist Vincent Oquendo, the style of Jenna Dollar was actually taken from 1970s Hollywood legend Faye Dunaway, who was a very vogue actress at the time, thus connecting her new look with the glitz and glam of Todays Hollywood and the evolvement of modern fashion trends.
