It is mysterious and eerie, wacky and unsettling. However, we would contend that Jenna Ortega's Wednesday-inspired looks are not quite as good as they seem.

When it comes to the annual event's "Tailored to You" dress code, the strapless dress that Balmain's creative director Olivier Rousteing wore to the 2025 Met Gala was definitely up to par.

The design brand declared in an Instagram post on May 5 that it was "Crafted entirely from metallic rulers," and that it was "a nod to the instruments of patternmakers."

Additionally, the California native's red-carpet attire has been a full-on homage to her most well-known character, with the exception of a few noteworthy pastel-colored deviations.

"I've always respected goth culture," the celebrity told Vogue in 2023 on September 27, her 23rd birthday. "I've always had a darker sense of humor, but I never felt like I was able to express that. Now I feel like I can embrace those qualities in myself."

When the traditionally long-stranded star embraced an edgier shag for her title role in the Netflix series, it all began with that first deep cut.

She stated to the magazine that she had been "really attached" to her long hair, but. "Changing it encouraged me to be more adventurous; to experiment and be more creative in that way."

Numerous ebony-hued, distinctly fitted pieces from designers like Versace, Saint Laurent, Valentino, and Jean Paul Gaultier were the end product.

"I was such a people pleaser; I was so anxious to be whatever I felt people wanted me to be," she previously stated. "I felt like the traditional beauty standards really affected me; they did not always resonate with me," she added.

At the 2025 Emmys, however, the Death of a Unicorn star is drawing attention in all the right ways by choosing to wear a barely there, heavily adorned Givenchy by Sarah Burton piece.

In May, the former cast member of Stuck in the Middle reflected to Harper's Bazaar, "I definitely feel like I have a bit more Gothic taste than I did when I was a teenager." "I’ve always been into dark things or been fascinated by them, but I was a Disney kid, and the whole thing is being bubbly and kind and overly sweet."

But these days, she told the magazine, "I want to be able to line up all of my girls and see something different in all of them." She explained that her motivation is to explore roles that are "older and bolder and different." Pertaining to her red carpet looks, they are still stunning.
