Toward the end of the first film, Betelgeuse attempts to marry Lydia and magically puts her into a red wedding dress. The dress appeared to be inspiration for Ortega’s red-carpet outfit for Wednesday’s Venice Film Festival premiere of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”

People reported that Ortega wore a sheer red two-piece Dior Haute Couture dress.

Catherine O’Hara‘s Petar Petrov Heat Wave blouse referenced Betegeuse’s iconic pinstriped white and black suit. Catherine plays Lydia’s mom, Delia, in both “Beetlejuice” movies.

Ryder‘s dress appears to channel her character, Lydia, who wore black for most of the first film.

During Ortega’s appearance on the “Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” on August 21, the “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” star wore a long-sleeved corset and a black skirt with chains that went across her body.

The black-and-white look is in keeping with Betelgeuse’s pinstriped suit, and the main colors used for most outfits in the first film.

On August 18, Ortega was spotted in another white and black outfit in New York City’s Midtown.

On August 19, Ortega wore a carbon copy of Lydia’s last outfit, her school uniform, from “Beetlejuice.”

Ortega wore a navy Thom Browne cardigan with a custom gold emblem that imitated Lydia’s school badge. Underneath, Ortega wore a green plaid skirt and cropped white oxford shirt.

To complete the look, Ortega had a custom-made Ozais bag that reads “handbag for the recently deceased” to imitate the book “handbook for the recently deceased” from the first film. The handbook helped Adam and his wife, Barbara, process their new lives as ghosts.

Ortega has been wearing pinstripe outfits in a subtle nod to the original movie.

Ortega’s “Beetlejuice” press tour began in Mexico, where she attended a black carpet fan event and a press day.

On August 16, Melendez shared a video on Instagram of Ortega’s press day outfit, a Marc Jacobs runway outfit that looked just like Betelgeuse’s pinstriped suit.

At the fan event, Ortega wore a custom Lurline teal green corset and matching skirt.

Melendez said on Instagram that the face in the middle of the corset was a tribute to the shrunken head from the “Beetlejuice” poster and Bob, a new shrunken head character in the sequel.
