At the recent Venice Film Festival, star power and style were on full display, but it was Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder's behind-the-scenes moment that stole the show. The actresses, who are currently working together on the highly anticipated sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, made headlines not just for their striking looks but for a charming gesture that quickly went viral. 

As expected, the red carpet was buzzing with celebrity arrivals, and Ortega and Ryder made a splash with their fashion choices. However, it was a simple exchange between the two that captured everyone's attention. Arriving by boat, Ortega sported a pair of sunglasses that caught the eye of eager photographers. As is common at such events, the photographers requested that Ortega remove her shades for clearer shots.

In a surprising twist, Ryder, who was poised to comply with the request, received a discreet nudge from Ortega. Jenna advised Winona to keep the sunglasses on if she preferred, sparking a heartfelt moment of camaraderie that quickly spread across social media. 

In a follow-up press meeting, Ryder expressed her surprise at the viral nature of the incident. She revealed that while she felt some pressure to remove the glasses, Ortega's supportive words made her feel comfortable and appreciated. Catherine O'Hara, another star present, humorously noted that while she initially took her sunglasses off, she soon put them back on.
