Zendaya surprises the 2024 Met Gala with a second dress — see her looks over the years
Zendaya is among the queens of the Met Gala.
She already rocked premieres for her recent movies "Dune 2" and "Challengers" and the 2024 Met Gala was no different.
She and her stylist Law Roach brought the heat with not only one but two iconic looks for the annual fashion event.
The Met Gala acts as a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. This year's dress code was "The Garden of Time," inspired by the museum's spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
As of an interview published by the New York Times on May 2, Roach hadn't seen Zendaya's Met Gala look in person.
"I haven’t seen Zendaya’s dress! We’ve been on two press tours — 'Dune 2' and 'Challengers' — and doing two Vogue covers. The dress isn’t even made. They won’t fit until Saturday," he said.
But she appeared on the red carpet a few days later in characteristic style — with two stunning looks.
2015
Theme: “China: Through the Looking Glass”
For her first Met Gala, Zendaya wore a Fausto Puglisi dress, featuring a black top and a red skirt with a long train. Her outfit also featured a headband and matching arm band.
2016
Theme: “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”
The dress code was "tech white tie." Zendaya answered with a gold Michael Kors dress. In 2016, Zendaya wore a gold Michael Kors dress to the tech-age themed gala. The sleek, one-sleeved dress was accessorized with a short, round bob and a drastic smoky eye.
2017
Theme: “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between”
The "Dune" star stunned in this Dolce & Gabbana off-the-shoulder gown, which featured bright orange hues and tropical prints.
2018
Theme: “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”
Zendaya went full Joan of Arc for this look, as envision by Roach. He told Women's Wear Daily that he "dreamt of Joan of Arc one night and called Versace."
2019
Theme: “Camp: Notes on Fashion”
The year of camp and the pink carpet, Zendaya stunned in a full Cinderella-inspired Tommy Hilfiger gown. Roach joined her on the red carpet dressed as her "fairy godmother." At the entrance to the event, he "magically" turned her dress from grey to shining light blue with the flick of his want.
2024
Theme: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion"
Zendaya walked the carpet with her stylist. She wore a green and blue fitted dress, with flower embellishments and a mermaid finish.
In a surprise move, the actor returned to the carpet with a second look, donning an all-black off-the-shoulder Victorian-style dress with a flower-filled headpiece.
