At the Cineworld Leicester Square in London, the Wednesday actor arrived in a couture masterpiece courtesy of Harris Reed. The custom-made, two-toned piece featured teal panels that painted the middle of the gown, while the sides featured black velvet stripes.
The bodice featured a strapless, semicircular neckline that jutted out from Ortega’s chest—a trend we’ve seen among many designs as of late—while the back was laced up with black stitching, like a corset. On the bust, the material was fashioned into two three-dimensional cups, which gave serious ’90s Madonna vibes, and the waist featured two finlike pieces that curved out to the sides.
The skirt, meanwhile, featured a slight mermaid silhouette, and to match the black velvet on the sides of the gown, Ortega added inky opera gloves, which she accessorized with large silver rings. To complete the fit, the actor added black and white drop earrings that resembled tiny beehives.
While Ortega is often known to wear black on the carpet, it seems Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has brought a new go-to color out of her: teal.

Jenna Ortega Heavy Metal Balmain’s Sheath Dress for 2025 Met Gala
Jenna Ortega dressed in Balmain, the actress 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. 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.
