Zendaya’s Surprise Third Met Gala Dress Had a Very Low Neckline and a Lot of Sparkle

Zendaya gave the 2024 Met Gala red carpet two looks, but that wasn’t the end of her outfit changes. Inside the event, Zendaya debuted a third dress: a sleeveless embellished column gown with a low, low neckline. The piece, Entertainment Tonight reports, is custom Celia Kritharioti.

Zendaya wore her hair up and kept her makeup more muted.

She closed out the red carpet wearing a massive vintage Givenchy black gown from the house’s spring/summer 1996 season that Galliano designed. She adhered to “The Garden of Time” dress code by adding a decadent floral headpiece from Philip Treacy for Alexander McQueen’s spring 2007 collection.

Zendaya also wore archival John Galliano to the pre-Met Gala dinner, opting for a white dress with transparent detailing and pink butterfly embellishments.

Zendaya and her creative director Law Roach’s choice to have her dress in almost exclusively John Galliano designs is likely a nod to reports the Met museum was originally supposed to do an exhibit on him but changed it due to his controversy.

Zendaya and Roach have been working together for years and are fresh off their constant headline-making Challengers press tour, where Zendaya wore tennis-themed looks worldwide. She spoke about Roach’s role on her team to ELLE in the summer, saying, “He’s involved in every fashion contract, everything I do. If I have an opportunity where he can come with me, he’s always going to be there. He’s always been my creative director in a sense, and he continues to fill that role, because it’s more than just clothes on a red carpet.”
