Zendaya, one of the official cohosts of this evening’s Met Gala, delivered not one but two unforgettable fashion moments on the red carpet, living up to her A-list status with aplomb. Styled by Law Roach, the actress made a grand entrance in two striking ensembles.
For her initial Met Gala appearance, Zendaya donned a mesmerizing ocean blue gown designed by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, complete with a matching dramatic headpiece by Stephen Jones for Margiela. The haute couture ensemble featured a sage lamé and organza bias-cut dress layered over a duchesse satin corset, adorned with bands of hand-painted metallic crin, iridescent organza, and a hand-embroidered corsage. This choice perfectly aligned with the Garden of Time theme, embodying the essence of the natural world and evoking the tranquil allure of the ocean.
Transitioning to her second look, Zendaya embraced vintage elegance in a never-before-worn Givenchy couture piece from the spring 1996 collection, curated by Lily et Cie. This exquisite gown, from the era of Galliano’s tenure at the fashion house, adds another timeless touch to Zendaya’s Met Gala repertoire. Throughout the years, Zendaya has consistently captivated on the Met Gala carpet, from her opulent florals in 2017 to her modern Joan of Arc interpretation in 2018. With each appearance, Zendaya proves her ability to surprise and mesmerize, ensuring all eyes are on her. Once again, she left an indelible mark on the Met Gala, showcasing her unrivaled fashion prowess.
