She plays a robot. So Jenna Ortega showed up dressed in steel.<\/strong> The \u201cWednesday\u201d star, 24, hit the New York special screening of her new film \u201cKlara and the Sun\u201d at the Crosby Street Hotel on Monday, October 19, in a one-of-a-kind dress by designer Elias Matso, made out of steel rods, Just Jared<\/a> reports. \u201cThis is a one-of-one dress. It\u2019s made out of steel rods. So it\u2019s handmade, human-made, a lot of effort,\u201d she told People. Amy Adams and director Taika Waititi joined her, and the film opens in U.S. theaters this Friday, October 23.<\/p>\n

Page Six, Deadline and Complex posted the carpet photos, Deadline caught her with Amy Adams, and the film\u2019s official account posted her arrival.<\/p>\n

The steel-rod dress, up close<\/h2>\n

Here is what the Page Six and Deadline photos show. It is a halter with a deep V neckline. The whole dress is covered in thin vertical rods strung with beads, in silver with stripes of sunshine yellow, pink and pale blue. Below the hips the rods hang loose like fringe over a sheer base, so the hem moves when she walks. She kept everything else quiet: long, sleek dark hair with a middle part, a smoky eye and pointed nude heels.<\/p>\n

Jenna gave the designer all the credit. \u201cHe is incredible,\u201d she said, per Just Jared. \u201cHe\u2019s been holding onto this dress for me, and it\u2019s perfect. And it\u2019s very fitting with the film, so I\u2019m so grateful.\u201d Look at her wording. At a screening for a film about an Artificial Friend, she called the dress \u201chuman-made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who made it: Elias Matso, the corset whiz behind Sydney Sweeney\u2019s wet-look dress<\/h2>\n

Most red-carpet write-ups stopped at the designer\u2019s name. WWD<\/a> profiled Matso in July. He is a 24-year-old corsetier from Maine who graduated from Florence\u2019s Polimoda fashion school in June. He co-created Christian Cowan\u2019s wet-look dresses, which Sydney Sweeney, Sarah Paulson, Brooks Nader and Chloe Bailey have all worn. WWD also says he worked on custom corsets for Tyla and Cardi B at this year\u2019s BET Awards.<\/p>\n

WWD\u2019s description of his graduate collection, \u201cMelt Away With Me,\u201d sounds a lot like Monday\u2019s dress. Matso linked tiny bits of steel boning together with beads. On one look they \u201ctrickle more softly from a halter in a sort of bionic take on the wet-look dress.\u201d He called that collection \u201cthe most challenging logistical feat I\u2019ve ever attempted in my life.\u201d Jenna\u2019s dress is also a halter of beaded steel. But neither she nor Matso has said it came from that collection, so treat the link as our observation, not a confirmed fact.<\/p>\n

Jenna\u2019s \u201cKlara and the Sun\u201d co-star Amy Adams plays the mother of the family Klara joins. Her Scandal Planet hub has 38 clips, from \u201cSharp Objects\u201d to \u201cAmerican Hustle\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sun, space age, steel: her Klara tour looks so far<\/h2>\n

New York completes a pattern. At the film\u2019s BFI London Film Festival premiere on October 15, she wore a custom honey-gold Torlowei slip with black lace and a matching lace cap, WWD<\/a> reported. People caught Florence Pugh accidentally bumping her in the face with a puffy sleeve on that carpet (People<\/a>). In Rome she wore a 1966 Pierre Cardin \u201cTarget\u201d dress, white with a red, yellow and black bullseye that echoes the sun on the film\u2019s poster (InStyle<\/a>, WWD<\/a>).<\/p>\n

London\u2019s gold and Rome\u2019s bullseye both pointed at the sun in the title, and WWD noted the Cardin\u2019s space-age feel suited a sci-fi film. Monday\u2019s steel dress is the most literal nod yet to the other half of the title: Klara is an Artificial Friend, and this time the dress itself looks a little like a machine.<\/p>\n

Why this robot role is a big swing<\/h2>\n

Jenna told Esquire<\/a> in August that Klara is the opposite of Wednesday Addams. \u201cIt was very exciting for me to play this naive, hopeful, optimistic character who\u2019s very different than the characters that I\u2019ve been playing recently,\u201d she said. She also explained what she loves about the book: \u201cShe\u2019s written as a back-of-the-store robot. She\u2019s an old model. She\u2019s not a standout Artificial Friend. Or so you think.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is a long way from where many fans met her as a grown-up actress: horror and dark comedy. She played Lorraine, the shy sound recordist, in Ti West\u2019s \u201cX\u201d (2022) opposite Mia Goth, led \u201cMiller\u2019s Girl\u201d (2024) and played Astrid, Winona Ryder\u2019s on-screen daughter, in \u201cBeetlejuice Beetlejuice.\u201d Klara asks for the opposite energy: wide-eyed and hopeful.<\/p>\n
