Breaking News: Watch How Zendaya’s 2 Met Gala looks came together, according to stylist Law Roach…

The Met Gala is known for its unpredictable moments, and Zendaya delivered one of this year’s major surprises. For her first Met Gala since 2019, she walked the carpet in not one, but two elaborate looks.

First, she appeared in a cascading navy and forest green number, paired with fierce maroon eyes. Then, she emerged in a dramatic (really dramatic) black dress, topped with a hat with flowers.

The 2024 Met Gala caps off Zendaya’s recent fashion whirlwind, with look after look for the “Dune” and “Challengers” press tours. Zendaya was a celebrity co-chair for the event, along with Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny.

Speaking to TODAY.com after his appearance on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna, her stylist and “fashion soulmate” of 13 years Law Roach explains the story and intention behind the outfits.

“We call each other ‘Big Ideas’ and ‘Small Details.’ I’m the big ideas. I dream in grandeur. These huge, not realistic dreams. Her thing is the small details. I may have said, ‘Let’s have five looks.’ And she’s like, ‘I think two is enough.’ She’s the grounding force in this relationship,” he says.

Roach says the two looks were meant to tell the “story of the artistry of John Galliano.”

“For me, growing up, that’s what I thought fashion was: John Galliano at Dior. It was a world I was captivated by but I didn’t think I could live in, breathe in, have space in. Last night was a celebration of the world that has inspired me for so long,” he says.

Galliano has been the creative director of Maison Margiela since 2014. He was fired from Dior in 2011 following a 15-year tenure after he was caught on video making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe. He was later convicted on two charges of public insults for reasons of religion, race or ethnicity, the New York Times reported.

Galliano testified, at his trial, he remembered nothing and blamed the comments on substances. In a 2024 documentary, he said, “It was a disgusting thing, foul thing that I did. It was just horrific.”

In addition to Zendaya’s two garments, Galliano also dressed Bad Bunny, Kim Kardashian, Gwendoline Christie and Natasha Poonwalla at the 2024 Met Gala.

Roach says Zendaya’s looks were meant to illustrate two phases of Galliano’s career, “present and past.”
