While some opt for a simple LBD (like this) or stylish jeans (like these), Jenna Ortega goes bold. From her bleached blonde eyebrows to that unforgettable metal-ruler dress she rocked at the 2025 Met Gala and, yes, that stunning glass dress, she always keeps things exciting (and a little dangerous). And now, the Wednesday star is back at it again with another jaw-dropping look that’s just as gorgeous as the rest.

The 23-year-old hit the carpet at the Academy Museum Gala on October 18 wearing a striking metal breastplate designed by Grace Ling. Pulled from the brand’s Spring 2026 collection, the sculptural top was crafted from dark, reflective metal shaped like a leaf. The oval piece curved across Jenna’s torso while the stem wrapped around her neck and shoulder, leaving her back completely bare.

She paired the bold breastplate with a low-rise brown silk skirt (similar one here), a sleek low ponytail and a smoky eye.

Pulling off a statement look is nothing new for Jenna. Earlier this year, she stunned in a red glass dress during her Late Show with Stephen Colbert appearance on March 25. Styled by Enrique Melendez, she wore a scarlet mosaic mini from Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2025 collection, complete with matching red peep-toe heels and a simple gold necklace. Her hair even matched the vibe, dyed a deep burgundy red.

As chic as it looked, Jenna admitted it wasn’t exactly the most comfortable ensemble.

“I’m not going to lie, sometimes there are pieces of glass that are poking my ass every time I sit,” she told Colbert. The host joked they might need a medic on standby, to which Jenna quipped, “I feel uncomfortable and extremely comfortable at the same time.”

Whether it’s glass, metal, or a bold beauty moment, one thing’s for sure—I'm looking forward to seeing what Jenna does next.
