Jenna Ortega Wears Ruler Dress to 2025 Met Gala

Jenna Ortega made a striking entrance at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom Balmain gown made entirely of metallic rulers, designed by Olivier Rousteing to interpret the 'Tailored for You' dress code. The sculptural bustier dress paid homage to pattern-making and couture, distinguishing Ortega from attendees who chose more traditional tailoring motifs. She completed her look with vintage-inspired waves, a smoky eye, and towering silver Louboutin platform heels, embracing the ongoing metallic trend in high fashion. The craftsmanship and literal use of tailoring tools in her outfit were widely praised for their innovation. This marked Ortega’s third consecutive Met Gala appearance in custom couture. The event’s theme also emphasized the historical influence of Black dandyism and tailoring in fashion.
