When Zendaya first stepped foot onto the 2025 Met Gala red carpet, the general reaction was one of shock. Her ivory Louis Vuitton suit was powerful and sophisticated, to be sure, but it was also considerably more demure than her usual theatrical looks. (See: her 2018 Joan of Arc suit of armor.)
But her outfit choice, however simplistic, was right on target for a Met Gala red carpet. With the help of her famed stylist Law Roach, Zendaya effectively combined her personal tastes with the Costume Institute's new theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style"—a feat attendees struggle with year in and year out.
