After five long years of waiting, Zendaya finally graced us with her presence at the Met Gala as one of the evening’s co-hosts, and boy, did she make it worth the wait! Styled by the ever-talented Law Roach, she turned heads in a mesmerising ocean-blue gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, topped off with a headpiece that could rival even the most elaborate crowns.
And can we talk about how perfectly she nailed the theme? The “Garden of Time” vibe was practically flowing off of her — she looked like she stepped right out of an underwater fantasy, with all that tulle and fabric swirling around her. With her flowing gown and oceanic hues, she looked like a modern-day sea goddess, effortlessly blending into the theme’s homage to the natural world. This appearance marked yet another spectacular fashion moment for Zendaya at the Met Gala, showcasing her ability to continually captivate and surprise.

Zendaya Always Slays the Met Gala
Of course, this isn’t the first time Zendaya has left us speechless at the Met Gala. Over the years, she’s become synonymous with show-stopping fashion moments, each one more iconic than the last. From her debut in 2015, where she wowed us with a custom Fausto Puglisi mini dress adorned with sun motifs, to her unforgettable turn as a modern-day Joan of Arc in a custom Versace gown in 2018, Zendaya has always pushed the boundaries of style and creativity.

But her absence in recent years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent postponements of the gala, only served to heighten our anticipation for her return. And return she did, reminding us all why she’s a true fashion icon and a beloved fixture at the Met Gala.
As we bask in the glow of Zendaya’s triumphant comeback, one thing is for certain: she’s back and better than ever. And as we look ahead to future galas, we can’t help but wonder what she has in store for us next.
