Fans noticed a strange detail on Jenna Ortega's minidress.

Hollywood actress Jenna Ortega’s star is on the rise, after earning nominations for her performance in Wednesday at both the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. She is quickly becoming known for her bold outfit choices, donning Versace and Gucci during this year’s awards season.

The star recently stepped out in another stunning look to support her newest film Scream VI. She opted for a Ghostface-inspired black and white Jean Paul Gaultier outfit for the premiere held in AMC Lincoln Square, New York City.

While fans were impressed with her style, the 20-year-old had a glaring wardrobe malfunction while working the red carpet.

As the Scream star met hordes of fans begging for photos and autographs, a fan accidentally brushed Jenna’s designer dress with a blue Sharpie.
