Co-Chair Zendaya Is Serving Fashion Icon Energy At The Met Gala

There’s a reason why Zendaya, the actress, supermodel, singer, and tennis player of the Zillennial generation, was named co-chair of the 2024 Met Gala, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The Challengers star has a fashion soulmate in the legendary Law Roach, and together, they effortlessly make red carpet and Met steps magic. Before taking a leadership position this year, Zendaya attended the Met Gala every year from 2015 to 2019. And yet, my invitation continues to get mysteriously lost in the mail… rude. From her floral Dolce & Gabbana ballgown to her princess ballgown straight out of Cinderella, the It Girl has always stuck to the theme and absolutely delivered. At the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya is taking her fashion duties even more seriously than usual!

The former Disney queen struck fierce poses in a breathtaking, dark blue and green Maison Margiela mermaid-cut gown. The maroon eyeshadow! The on-theme slay! We need to give my No. 1 Met Gala co-chair the metaphorical flowers she deserves — let’s get into Zendaya’s epic look and her history at the Met Gala.

How is it possible to be completely flawless and the best at every single thing you try? Just curious. Law and Zendaya truly don’t know the meaning of the word “flop.” Every fucking detail of this ensemble screams Cunty Eve. She wins again.

In a tweet announcing Zendaya’s co-chair role, Vogue wrote, “If anyone is up for the challenge of delivering a memorable fashion look on the Met steps, it’s Zendaya. Since her first #MetGala, the star has consistently served ensembles that are head-turning and on theme.” Where’s the lie?

During the pre-Covid era, the Euphoria star really committed to showing up every year and gagging us all. Unlike some people, *cough* Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. One of my favorite Zendaya looks of all time is that Cinderella gown from 2019’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” Met Gala. In addition to the enchanting light-up dress itself, she carried an adorable pumpkin carriage purse and had Law by her side dressed as her fairy godmother. Spells were cast. Lives were changed.
