She describes her personal style as minimalist with a vintage twist.
Ortega is a big fan of Art Deco and Old World influences; this is
evident in the way she dresses and behaves. Poised, soft-spoken, and
elegant at all times, she is a favourite muse of many local designers.
Ortega is a staunch supporter of homegrown brands and advocates
a healthy natural lifestyle. A doting mum and politician’s wife, she
incorporates practical sensibilities into her wardrobe choices, opting
for timeless staples. She names the late Gloria Vanderbilt and actress
Mia Farrow as her style icons, and is a big fan of pieces from French
brands Lanvin and Anne Fontaine.
