Zendaya’s status as red carpet royalty didn’t just happen overnight. The former Disney star and her former(?) stylist Law Roach steadily worked hard over the years to prove their fashion bonafides to the world. Nowhere is that more apparent than when looking back at Zendaya’s history at the Met Gala. The actor went from a guest of designers to a moment-creating VIP capable of commanding all the attention on one of the world’s busiest red carpets.
Here, a look back at all of Zendaya’s Met Gala looks, including her after party fits.
2019: “Camp: Notes on Fashion”
The theme of the 2019 Met Gala was “Camp,” and Zendaya and stylist Law Roach decided to put on a show. Enlisting Tommy Hilfiger to design a light-up dress, the duo reenacted Cinderella right on the red carpet.
Naturally, Roach stepped into the role of Fairy Godfather.
Please note Zendaya’s pumpkin coach bag, which came courtesy of the undisputed American master of bedazzled evening minaudières, Judith Leiber.
Of course, they left a glass slipper behind, as if you had to ask.
The thing about the Met Gala is, after all those red carpet theatrics, you are expected to go inside and eat a dinner. So Zendaya changed into a flowy gown in a delicate shade of lilac—but kept her pumpkin bag close.
Of course, there was a major train moment and a bit of sparkling detail behind her. Just because it wasn’t the red carpet dress for the night didn’t mean it was boring.
After parties can be serious business, and Zendaya hit the circuit that year in a black velvet suit. Note, however, her purple shoes, which she kept on after the main event.
