Renowned for her exceptional fashion sense, Zendaya has graced the iconic red carpet of the Met Gala on multiple occasions. However, this year’s event holds particular significance as she assumes the role of official co-chair alongside other esteemed figures. On the first Monday of May, Zendaya will join Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour in welcoming guests to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The gala serves as both a celebration and a fundraiser for the museum’s Costume Institute, which will unveil its new spring exhibition, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.’
Zendaya’s fashion journey at the Met commenced in 2015, and ever since, she has consistently delivered unforgettable ensembles that resonate with the gala’s themes. In 2018, she made a bold statement with an armored Versace gown inspired by Joan of Arc, perfectly embodying the ‘Heavenly Bodies’ theme exploring the intersection of Catholicism and fashion. Her triumphant return in 2019 showcased her ability to nail thematic dressing, as she transformed into a modern-day Cinderella in a stunning Tommy Hilfiger gown, accompanied by her stylist Law Roach as her fairy godmother, complete with a magical wand.
As the spotlight shines upon her once more at the 2024 Met Gala, the focus on ‘sleeping beauties’ and Zendaya’s well-known love for vintage fashion have sparked anticipation for an extraordinary archival moment. Her previous Met Gala ensembles stand as a testament to her ability to captivate and inspire, and we eagerly await her latest creation that is sure to leave a lasting impact in the annals of fashion history.
