Zendaya stunned in a Maison Margiela Artisanal dress by John Galliano at the 2024 Met Gala, where she co-chaired the event alongside other A-list celebrities. Her exquisite ensemble was specially created for her by Galliano and featured a sage lamé and organza dress with unique hand-painted details and metallic crin bands. Zendaya completed her look with a hand-painted plume-like veil and hat by Stephen Jones and custom-made Tabi pumps by Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela, all styled by Law Roach.
The actress’s dramatic makeup transformed her into a glamour girl of the roaring 1920s, with a red eye, thin pencil arches for eyebrows, and thick black eyeliner creating a striking look. Zendaya’s appearance at the gala marked her long-awaited return after a two-year absence and perfectly aligned with the costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and the gala’s official dress code, “The Garden of Time,” set by co-chair Anna Wintour.
Despite their busy schedules, Roach and Zendaya managed to create a stunning look for the event, with Roach admitting to struggling to say no to the actress despite retiring from styling previously. Zendaya’s confidence shone through as she strutted through the streets of NYC in a vintage John Galliano dress during a pre-gala event. Despite her fears leading up to the event, Zendaya expressed her excitement about making a comeback at the Met Gala after several years of absence.
Zendaya’s previous appearances at the Met Gala have been iconic, from dressing as Cinderella by Tommy Hilfiger to sporting a Versace coat of metal armor. Her fashion choices have always been on point, and her return to the 2024 Met Gala showcased her evolution in style over the years. Roach’s dedication to creating unique and eye-catching looks for Zendaya has cemented their status as a fashion power couple, with the actress admitting to being terrified about helming the big show, but ultimately excited to make a statement with her look.
The Met Gala co-chairs, including Zendaya and Anna Wintour, alongside other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, hosted the hautest night of the year. Despite setbacks in fitting Zendaya’s dress due to their busy schedules, Roach ensured that the actress looked flawless on the red carpet and made a lasting impression with her vintage-inspired look. The combination of high-fashion couture, dramatic makeup, and Zendaya’s confident demeanor created a truly unforgettable moment at the 2024 Met Gala, solidifying her status as a fashion icon and red carpet queen.
