Thanks to her prolific collaboration with stylist and “Image Architect” Law Roach, Zendaya has consistently delivered sartorial excellence.
At 27 years old, Zendaya is already considered a fashion icon. The actress and singer got her start on The Disney Channel before branching out into feature films like The Greatest Showman and the Spider-Man franchise as well as starring in the hit HBO series Euphoria. Along the way, she’s come into her own as a lover of bold, avant-garde fashion.
Even as a child star, Zendaya was having fun with fashion, but since teaming up with her stylist and image architect Law Roach, fans have come to expect another level of glamour on the red carpet — especially at high-profile events like the Oscars and Met Gala.
Zendaya is truly a fashion chameleon, effortlessly transforming from a romantic, fairy-tale princess look to an edgy, menswear-inspired tuxedo with equal aplomb. Among her most memorable ensembles: a voluminous high-low Fausto Puglisi dress at the 2015 Met Gala, a goddess-like Vivienne Westwood gown paired with flowing locs at the 2015 Academy Awards, a perfectly summer-y Jonathan Simkhai frock to kick off the promo tour for Spiderman: Homecoming, and for the Critics’ Choice Awards in January 2020, the Tom Ford breastplate heard ‘round the world.
Unlike many celebrities whose fashion moments fade into obscurity, Zendaya’s style statements linger in the collective memory. Whether it’s the captivating Poison Ivy-inspired Vera Wang creation at the 2019 Emmys or the ethereal butterfly-inspired Moschino dress worn at the premiere of The Greatest Showman in 2017, each of her looks is etched in fashion history.
Zendaya’s mastery of the Met Gala’s themes is particularly noteworthy. While some stars struggle to align with the event’s themes, she consistently delivers, effortlessly blending creativity and elegance. From her interpretation of the Commes Des Garçons theme in 2017 with a parrot-printed Dolce and Gabbana gown to her modern Joan of Arc portrayal in Versace chainmail at the Heavenly Bodies-themed Gala in 2018, Zendaya’s Met Gala appearances are nothing short of iconic.
Most recently, Zendaya made waves at the Academy Awards, gracing the red carpet in a striking neon yellow Valentino gown reminiscent of Cher’s legendary style. With a midriff cut-out and cascading hair paying homage to the iconic singer, Zendaya once again asserted her dominance as a fashion icon.
