The annual Marrakech Film Festival routinely draws a sophisticated crowd, with this year’s jury featuring Bong Joon Ho, Anya Taylor-Joy,Jenna Ortega, Celine Song, and Jodie Foster. Ortega gave a subtly dramatic red carpet appearance for the event’s opening night, which is in its 22nd year, bringing renewed attention to the peplum silhouette.

When put together, her outfit creates a modern structural take on the traditional peplum design. The Wednesday actor stepped out in Bevza’s spring 2026 collection, featuring a black halterneck bodysuit with a low neckline, open back and long straight skirt.

Her makeup, done by Saskia Ryan using Dior Beauty, was smoky and defined, while Ortega wore her long, cherry cola–tinted hair loose and tousled. It was a signature choice from Ortega, consistent with the distinct gothic-leaning glam she and stylist Enrique Melendez have established, whether in a shredded GapStudio dress, a reptile-texture Ashi Studio gown, or tiny mini black boots on a beach.

Her fellow jury member Anya Taylor-Joy joined her on the red carpet wearing a custom black Dior gown with a rounded, two-tier structure. Bringing back the old style that inspired the original peplums of Dior’s 1947 New Look.

Svitlana Bevza, a Kyiv-born designer, designed Ortega’s gown. Her label is known for polished and minimalist tailoring, favoured by celebrities such as Katie Holmes, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Pamela Anderson. Bevza pushed further into abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and clean lines in her spring 2026 collection. This made it Ideal for Ortega’s modern reinterpretation of the peplum style.
