Zendaya Brought the Drama—In Two Different Looks!—At the 2024 Met Gala
As one of this evening’s official co-hosts, Zendaya was bound to deliver a memorable fashion moment on the red carpet—and she certainly didn’t disappoint. Styled by the iconic Law Roach, the superstar graced us with not just one, but two breathtaking ensembles that showcased her unique style and flair.
First Look: Oceanic Elegance
For her first walk up the Met steps, Zendaya donned an ethereal ocean blue gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano. This haute couture piece was composed of a sage lamé and organza bias-cut dress, worn over a duchesse satin corset. The ensemble featured bands of hand-painted metallic crin, iridescent organza, and a meticulously hand-embroidered corsage.
The striking headpiece by Stephen Jones for Margiela complemented the gown perfectly, enhancing her overall look with dramatic flair. This outfit was a fitting tribute to this year’s Garden of Time dress code, encouraging guests to embrace thematic fashions that pay homage to nature. Zendaya’s ensemble beautifully captured the essence of the ocean—with its rich layers and flowing tulle—making it feel as refreshing as a summer-day dip.
Second Look: Vintage Glamour
Zendaya’s second look was a celebration of vintage elegance, featuring an exquisite piece from Givenchy’s spring 1996 couture collection. This never-before-worn dress, designed by Galliano for Givenchy and sourced from Lily et Cie, held personal significance as it hails from the year Zendaya was born.
This look exemplifies why vintage fashion continues to captivate—the timeless appeal of a classic design is undeniable. By choosing this piece, Zendaya not only highlighted her impeccable taste but also paid homage to an iconic moment in fashion history.
Zendaya’s Met Gala Legacy
Tonight’s looks add to the many winning fashion moments Zendaya has brought to the Met Gala over the years. In 2017, she embraced opulent florals in a stunning Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda ball gown, while in 2018, she transformed into a modern Joan of Arc in a custom Versace armor creation.
When it comes to the Met Gala, Zendaya’s strategy is clear: keep us guessing. But one thing remains certain—she always turns heads and leaves an indelible mark on fashion history. Clearly, she did it again this year.
