Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach have delivered so many iconic looks throughout the years. So why would Zendaya’s Met Gala 2024 look be any different? The star was last seen at the Met Gala in 2018 and as a co-chair this year, Zendaya is back with a bang. After serving possibly the most chic press tour looks of all time, she’s been riding the tennis-inspired Challengers wave and her look tonight only set the bar even higher.
During her time promoting Challengers, Zendaya made the case for tenniscore—and her look tonight is the latest in a long line of stunning ensembles. From her neon green Celia Kritharioti dress literally tied together with a tennis ball to her Loewe tennis ball heels, Zendaya knows how to run with a concept. Thankfully for her, the Met Gala is nothing without a theme. (Which happens to be “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” this year.) It’s been almost 6 years since Zendaya last attended—and tonight’s look just made up for lost time.
For the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya wore a custom Maison Margiela dress and headpiece. Just as the theme suggests, her and Law Roach pulled together a fit so ethereal it’s practically wearable art. From the satin striped train to the birds on her shoulder, Zendaya looks like she just escaped from the Garden of Eden. Although fans were expecting a Challengers inspired fit, we know Zendaya always sticks to the theme and this ensemble hits the nail on the head.
After Pat McGrath nailed the glass skin look at Maison Margiela’s spring couture show, she teamed up with Zendaya to deliver another truly avant-garde makeup look. Zendaya wore dramatic smokey eyes, berry lips, and McGrath’s signature pencil thin brows. Combining our peacock fantasies with our porcelain doll nightmares, Zendaya delivered yet another look we’ll be thinking about for years to come.
