- Zendaya has attended five Met Galas in showstopping looks styled by Law Roach.
- Her outfit for the 2019 Met Gala was her most iconic to date, as it fit the "camp" theme perfectly.
- But Zendaya's gold gown for the 2016 event was her least memorable Met Gala look.
Zendaya's gold gown for the 2016 Met Gala was beautiful, but it paled in comparison to her other Met Gala ensembles.
For the "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" Met Gala, Zendaya chose a one-shoulder Michael Kors gown.
The metallic dress had a high neckline, and it was covered in sparkles.
Although Zendaya looked stunning and the dress had the futuristic feel the theme required for the event, the gown itself wasn't one of the standout looks of the night.
It looked like it could be worn to any red-carpet event, which isn't ideal for a Met Gala ensemble.
Her colorful gown for the 2017 gala was definitely a step up.
The theme for the 2017 Met Gala was "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between," celebrating the artist's avant-garde work.
Zendaya's colorful Dolce & Gabbana gown fit the theme. The yellow ball gown featured a pattern of red parrots and flowers, and red fabric flowed off of the off-the-shoulder sleeves and the train.
The dress could have looked tacky or even old-fashioned, but Zendaya made it look effortlessly cool with simple jewelry.
When she made her Met Gala debut in 2015, Zendaya nailed the "China: Through The Looking Glass" theme.
The first Met Gala Zendaya attended was the 2015 "China: Through The Looking Glass" event.
Her high-low Fausto Puglisi gown nodded to the theme with its black-and-red color scheme, as well as the suns adorning the skirt.
Her gold tiara also featured suns, making the look feel cohesive. Zendaya couldn't have asked for a better Met Gala debut look.
Zendaya's Joan of Ark-inspired outfit for the 2018 Met Gala was one of the most memorable looks of the event.
Attendees examined the interaction between style and Catholicism at the 2018 "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" Met Gala, and Zendaya didn't shy away from the theme, arriving in an outfit clearly inspired by Joan of Arc.
Her figure-hugging Versace dress was made of chain mail, and it had an overlay of armor that sat on her neck, shoulders, and waist. A train flowed off the long-sleeve gown, adding even more drama to the ensemble.
Zendaya also wore her hair in a short, red bob for the event, fully committing to the way Joan of Arc looks in paintings.
None of Zendaya's Met Gala outfits could top her "Cinderella"-inspired dress for the 2019 event.
Many celebrities struggled with fashion choices for the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" gala, but Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach, seemed to have nothing but fun with the theme.
The pair arrived wearing Tommy Hilfiger. Zendaya's ball gown looked almost like an exact replica of the dress Cinderella wears in the Disney film, which Roach said at the time was a nod to the start of Zendaya's career on "Shake It Up."
It had white puffy sleeves, a low-cut and structured bodice, and a full skirt, and Zendaya wore her hair in Cinderella's signature bun with a coordinating headband. She even carried a small purse that looked like a carriage.
The interactive element of the look made it perfect for the gala.
When Zendaya arrived at the gala, the gown was a pale shade of gray.
Roach, dressed in the likeness of the fairy godmother from "Cinderella," then pointed a wand at Zendaya and lit the dress up, taking it to another level.
She then left a glass slipper behind as she entered the gala, completing her performance as a Disney princess.
The look was everything a Met Gala ensemble should be: beautiful, unique, on-theme, and memorable. Plus, it served as a metaphor for the astronomical rise of Zendaya's career from her Disney days to superstardom, which was the perfect cherry on top of the look.
