For the nearly identical fit, Melendez worked with Thom Browne, who customized one of his sweaters with an emblem reminiscent of the one on Ryder’s jacket in the final scene, and Ozias, who created her bag for the recently deceased. Her rings included the Suzanne Kalan Golden Milli Stacker Diamond Eternity Band and Rainbow K Ring Empress Sapphires.

“As previously stated Winona Ryder/Lydia Deetz are The BluePrint,” the stylist shared on Instagram.

During press rounds for the sequel, Ortega opened up about her relationship with Ryder.

After describing to Ryder The New York Times’ Interview podcast Lulu Garcia-Navarro as “warm” and “domestic,” Ortega shared that there is something strange and unusual, if you will, about their relationship.

“The way Winona and I got along was quite strange. It was like we were reading each other’s minds a little bit,” the star told Garcia-Navarro.

Of Ryder’s influence, Ortega continued, “She just made me feel really, really beautiful and special.”
