Jenna Ortega Wore Grace Ling To The 2025 Academy Museum Gala
If you’ve been waiting for Jenna Ortega’s red carpet style to evolve past her Wednesday persona, then this Grace Ling Spring 2026 look at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala is it.
The futuristic halter top, sculpted from liquid-like metal, sits somewhere between armour and art, merging strength with sensuality in a way that feels distinctly her but refreshingly new after a string of “death-becomes-her” looks.
The look’s structural asymmetry and high-shine finish are typical of Grace Ling’s sculptural aesthetic, known for redefining modern femininity through innovation and precision. Paired with a sleek plum satin skirt, the ensemble feels elegant yet forward-thinking — a balance we hope to see more of as she steps into her post-Wednesday era.
Her makeup, however, stayed true to her darkly romantic roots — deep oxblood lips and a smouldering eye — but the overall energy was less gothic schoolgirl, more futuristic siren.
The eyebrows are still growing back, but there’s something exciting about this transitional phase; it’s giving rebirth rather than reinvention.
Stylist: Enrique Melendez.
