Jenna Ortega, Cathy Yan, and Natalie Portman posed for a stylish group portrait at the Los Angeles Times studio during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
At the Los Angeles Times portrait studio during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival , three distinct presences– Jenna Ortega , Cathy Yan , and Natalie Portman –sat together against a cool, dreamlike setting of white faux fur and pale blue light. The texture of the space felt soft, almost weightless, as if the set itself wanted to dissolve into quiet.
Jenna Ortega wore a green check shirt dress with black tights and pointed patent heels–practical, a little school-uniform, but sharpened by her posture and that steady expression she always brings. Cathy Yan anchored the center in a chocolate brown leather jacket and studded pants tucked into tall black boots. Her look had toughness, industrial charm, but still matched the cozy mood of the frame. Natalie Portman balanced the composition in a plush gray-and-white faux fur sweater that played easily against the icy backdrop, her smile warm yet unforced.
Haley Lu Richardson wore a striped sweater and denim overalls for a casual portrait session at the IMDB Studio during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
At the IMDB Portrait Studio during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival , Haley Lu Richardson brought a rare kind of ease to the press-week whirlwind. Lounging across a caramel-brown sofa, she lifted one boot toward the ceiling, laughing mid-pose as if mocking the formality of festival portraits. Her striped sweater –soft, fuzzy, confident–mixed with dark denim overalls , a pairing that told more truth about warmth and comfort than any brand-led outfit might.
Ash-blond hair, loosely curled, framed her grin. A pair of solid black ankle boots grounded the playfulness, giving the look quiet edge. The pillows–burnt mustard, white, and mint green–set a cozy frame around her, rustic but still studio-clean.
Chase Sui Wonders wore an archival Anna Sui fur-trimmed beaded midi dress at the I Want Your Sex Sundance premiere 2026.
First look at Chase Sui Wonders on this snowy Utah evening: the actress steps onto the step-and-shoot lane of red carpet red carpet fashion in an archival Anna Sui Fall 1998 piece. The midi dress –a muted icy-sage knit–glimmers with tiny turquoise beads and dangling gold rods. Every edge is hugged by fox-grey faux-fur : straps, bustline, hem, even the matching hood that frames her face like a storybook wolf disguise. She finishes with sheer black tights and squat fur-topped slippers that feel more cabin than carpet. Rosy cheeks, flecks of shimmer on lids, and softly parted hair peeking from the hood keep the vibe playful rather than parody.
Sundance crowds love a puffer–she rejects that safety net. Digging into her aunt’s archival trove, she drags late-’90s downtown whimsy into 2026, just as runway kids rediscover “ugly-cute” layering. The result? A moving postcard of indie-film quirk meeting Y2K folklore.
Fit wise, the slip skims without clinging, letting the beaded drizzle dance when she shifts weight. The hood, however, risks costume territory; one tug on that fur and the whole look skews mascot. Still, pairing indoor shoes with couture knit is the kind of shrug that makes festival photographers lean in. She reminds us that confidence, like faux fur, can warm even the chilliest festival corridor.
Style Dilemma: Does the fairy-tale hood elevate the archival dress into art, or drown it in winter-themed kitsch?
