    Jenna Ortega wore a look that was made to measure at Met Gala on Monday in New York.

    Dressed in Balmain, the actress illuminated on the red carpet in a metallic sheath dress created from steel rulers used by patternmakers—a nod to the evening’s “Tailored for You” dress code, a celebration of Black dandyism and tailoring that inspired The Met’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibit.

    Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing designed the bustier gown silhouette by placing the rulers vertically along the body.

    “Jenna’s look is an ode to the art of craftsmanship, to couture, and the atelier where hands work meticulously, shaping fabric into magic,” Rousteing told WWD. “No symbol captures it more poetically than the metallic meter, a quiet tribute to craft and precision.”

    Continuing, “Tailoring has always been part of Balmain, it’s a legacy of beauty, form and unapologetic elegance. It’s our soul. The bustier gown sculpted on her body is not just a garment, but a piece of strength, a symbol of her presence as an actress, a woman, a force.”

    The metallic palette continued down to her footwear, of which Ortega chose Christian Louboutin’s Nenecheritza silver platform heels. She accessorized with more silver accents, including diamond rings and earrings by Hearts On Fire.
