Zendaya has always aced the assignment at the Met Gala.
Expertly meeting the fundraiser’s “tailored for you” dress code, the Emmy-winning star stepped out in head-to-toe white wearing a sharp three-piece suit with a fitted blazer, tie, vest, wide-leg trousers, floppy hat and heels. Zendaya’s hair was pulled back into a sleek bun beneath her cream chapeau. She finished the ivory look with sparkling Bulgari jewels and — of course — her 5.02-carat diamond and 18-karat white gold engagement ring (designed by Jessica McCormack) from fiancé and former Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland.
Monday’s Met Gala marks the first time in recent years that Zendaya wasn’t accompanied by longtime Celebrity Image Architect Law Roach, who attended the soirée separately but is assumed to have styled the Dune actress.

The Met Gala, The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual fundraiser, celebrates the Costume Institute’s spring fashion exhibition. 2025’s exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. To adhere to this evening’s theme, guests and celebrity stylists are tasked with interpreting the accompanying dress code: “Tailored for you.”
Zendaya was a co-chair at the 2024 Met Gala, where she sported not one, but two haute couture gowns from Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano. She also attended the fundraiser from 2015 to 2019, and most recently starred in Louis Vuitton’s 2025 resort campaign.
