Apart from all the celebrities, Jenna Ortega, the 22-year-old Wednesday star, owned the red carpet of the Met Gala 2025 like a princess. On Monday, May 5, 2025, the biggest night of fashion witnessed some extraordinary looks of celebs across the world.
Amid this, a silver bodycon strapless gown with a cheeky twist on the evening's "Tailored For You" dress code stole the spotlight. The moment Ortega hit the red carpet in a Balmain gown made entirely out of metal rulers left fans awestruck.
The Wednesday actress's dress featured a plunging strapless neckline that showed a hint of cleavage.
Apart from this, the actress completed her look with a vampy glam, wearing her brunette hair in Old Hollywood-inspired waves parted down the middle.
For her makeup, she kept her complexion fresh and paired it with a deep burgundy lip colour, plus a smoky grey eyeshadow on her lids.
The sleek metallic dress is designed by Olivier Rousteing. Jenna Ortega's Balmain look is inspired by the art of tailoring tape and rulers.
An official release from the brand reads, "A poetical ode to couture and craftsmanship, her sleek sheath dress is crafted entirely from the metallic rulers used by pattern makers, placed vertically along the body to enhance the silhouette to create a bustier gown sculpted on her body."
The moment Jenna Ortega walked on the red carpet, she turned all the heads around, as she donned a sleek dress made of rulers because the theme was tailored, "A genius and a goddess."
One fan on X (formerly called Twitter) said, "Jenna Ortega wore a dress made of ¡°metallic rulers¡± at the Met Gala ?. She is such a queen."
