Jenna Ortega showed at the Met Gala what a completely metallic dress looks like

And this outfit, without exaggeration, became the most unusual at the Costume Institute's fashion evening. We showcase the look of the star from "Wednesday."

On the blue carpet of the charity ball, the actress appeared in a Balmain dress that seemed to come straight off the drawing board.

It was entirely made from metallic rulers. I personally used such rulers in college, but I never imagined that scraps of metal could be turned into elegant clothing.

A deep neckline, emphasized waistline, and a tight silhouette — everything here works for the "second skin" effect.

As explained by representatives of the fashion house who created the dress: "The look of is an ode to the art of craftsmanship, haute couture, and the atelier where diligent hands transform fabric into magic," reports WWD.

And indeed, the symbol was chosen remarkably accurately — the ruler as a sign of respect to the unsung heroes of fashion.

This metallic look was complemented by a vintage hairstyle, a burgundy shade on the lips, and a subtle yet striking gray smoky eye. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com reported on the look chosen by singer Rihanna for the Met Gala.
