Actress Jenna Dewan captured attention on social media following her appearance at the opening night of the art exhibition Borrowed Spotlight in Los Angeles on February 3, 2025. The 45-year-old star of “The Rookie” donned a striking sheer, lacy outfit that paired perfectly with her elegant demeanor.
The exhibition, which features poignant photographs of Holocaust survivors alongside various celebrities, aims to raise awareness and honor the resilience of those who endured unimaginable hardships. In her Instagram post, Dewan shared a stunning photograph of herself standing on the red carpet with Risa Igelfeld, a remarkable 108-year-old Holocaust survivor. The moment encapsulated the spirit of the event, celebrating the profound stories of survival and hope.
Dewan’s ensemble included a breathtaking white dress designed by luxury designer Magda Butrym, notable for its sculptural, three-dimensional corset. She complemented the look with tailored white pants and open-toe heels, allowing the intricate details of her outfit to shine without distraction. The first image in her post captured the essence of the evening, showcasing her alongside Igelfeld, who has inspired many with her vitality and positive outlook on life.
In her heartfelt caption, Dewan expressed her deep connection to the project, stating, “
Borrowed Spotlight is a project that has lived in my heart since the moment I became part of it. Being paired with Risa (who is 108 years old..!) was an absolute gift.
” The post credited photographer Bryce Thompson for capturing the magical moments of the night.
Borrowed Spotlight is not only an exhibition but also the title of a book by Thompson, released in April 2025. The book features the photographs showcased at the exhibition and is available for purchase through Snap Collective for €269 (approximately $364 USD). While currently sold out, the book is printed on demand, with customers advised to expect delivery within six weeks.
Dewan described the opening night as an “incredible experience,” highlighting her joy in dancing with Igelfeld. She reflected on the profound impact of the evening, stating, “I left with a really life-changing moment. It blew me away that somebody that I was dancing with survived the unimaginable and has such positivity and light and life force to her still at 108.”
The event not only showcased stunning artistry but also served as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. Dewan’s participation and her heartfelt words emphasize the importance of remembering and honoring the stories of those who have faced adversity. The combination of art and personal narratives within Borrowed Spotlight aims to inspire and foster a deeper understanding of history and humanity.
