Law Roach is already feeling euphoric about the 2025 Met Gala.

The fashion stylist—whose client list has included Zendaya, Celine Dion and Anya Taylor-Joy—shared his thoughts on the recently-announced 2025 exhibition title for fashion’s biggest night, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” The event will be inspired specifically by Monica L. Miller’s book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, and explore the style of Black men through the years.

“I am pleasantly surprised and honored,” Law exclusively told E! News at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Oct. 15, “that such a huge body are finally paying homage to the contribution that my people have made to fashion. It makes me feel good.”

And the 46-year-old—who said it’s too “early” to know if he’ll go to the 2025 Met Gala—has certainly made his mark when it comes to contributing to fashion. Over the years, Law has been responsible for virtually all of Zendaya’s red carpet looks, from the body-hugging, wet leather look she wore to the 2021 Venice Film Festival to the iconic robot suit she wore to the London premiere of Dune: Part 2. 

That special bond with the Euphoria actress has been so fruitful, in fact, Law has stepped away from styling other celebrities, which initially caused confusion to his fans.

"I'm not saying I'm retiring from fashion," he clarified to Vogue in March. "I love fashion. I love the businesses, and I love being creative. What I'm retiring from is the celebrity styling part of it: the being in service and at service of other people. That's what I'm retiring from." 

And while Law told E! News he is unsure about his plans for attending the 2025 Met Gala, it is definitely a space he knows well. 

For the 2024 event in May, Law styled Zendaya—who served as co-chair alongside Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth—in a John Galliano-inspired Maison Margiela mermaid-cut gown with hummingbird and poison ivy motifs to fit the “Garden of Time” theme. Her ensemble stood out even more thanks to a veiled fascinator and bold maroon eye makeup.

Zendaya made her Met Gala debut in 2015, opting for a custom Fausto Puglisi sun-motif dress to coincide with the year's theme, "China: Through the Looking Glass." 

 

The Euphoria star, who only tried on the dress twice before making her appearance at the New York City event, later admitted to People that the high-pressure night was "overwhelming but in the best way." 

Keeping with the "Manus x Machina" theme for 2016's ball, Zendaya rocked a bronze one-shoulder gown by Michael Kors and a chic mushroom-cut wig. 

Zendaya looked ethereal in her tropical-print Dolce & Gabbana gown at the 2017 event, which boasted a "Rei Kawakubo & Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between" theme. 

 

The get-up turned so many heads that even Rihanna had to take note. Sharing a photo of the Challengers actress on her Instagram, Rihanna wrote in the caption, "Brown goddess."

The Disney Channel alum had her Joan of Arc moment in 2018, arriving to the Metropolitan Museum of Art clad in a silver, armor-inspired Atelier Versace dress with chain mail detailing. She completed the look—which gave a nod to the theme of "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination"—with metallic Jimmy Choo heels and a red bob similar to the French saint’s hair.

 

Zendaya later declared it one of her favorite red carpet looks of all time, telling InStyle in October 2021, "I was like a warrior."

 

And she wasn't the only one who was a big fan. Her Spider-Man costar Tom Holland—who she confirmed her romance with in 2021—also gave the daring attire a special shoutout at the time, writing on Instagram, "All hail the queen. Killing it mate."

Zendaya channeled her Disney roots to transform into a real-life princess in 2019. Since the theme was "Camp: Notes on Fashion," the Shake It Up actress didn't shy away from going all-out with a blue Tommy Hilfiger gown that lit up. To cap off her Cinderella moment, she was accompanied by her stylist Law Roach, who was dressed as her fairy godmother. 

 

But as iconic as her outfit was, Zendaya said the logistics behind the it made her walk down the red carpet pretty anxiety-inducing. 

 

"This Met stressed me out," she told British Vogue afterward. "I was basically wearing a dress that was electronic. I got there, and it wasn't ready. It was supposed to do a little bit more than it did, like it was supposed to start smaller and get bigger."
