Zendaya had her Cinderella moment on the red carpet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala, and it was nothing short of magical. With the assistance of her fairy godstylist, Law Roach, Zendaya dazzled attendees with a breathtaking transformation fit for a princess.

Arriving in a stunning black and blue corseted Tommy Hilfiger ballgown, adorned with white pouffy sleeves and a full A-line skirt, Zendaya captivated onlookers from the moment she stepped onto the red carpet. But it was the touch of Roach’s magical wand that truly elevated her ensemble to ethereal heights, causing her entire outfit to light up in a mesmerizing display.

Completing her Cinderella-inspired look, Zendaya styled her hair in a blonde French twist, accentuated with a delicate headband and a chic black choker. A glittering pumpkin-carriage Judith Leiber clutch and “glass slippers” adorned her feet, perfectly capturing the essence of the fairytale princess.

Zendaya’s commitment to the theme extended beyond the red carpet, as she left a “glass slipper” behind on the iconic Met Gala stairs. Inside the event, she underwent yet another transformation, slipping into a pink dress reminiscent of the one Cinderella’s mice made for the ball—a symbolic nod to Zendaya’s own evolution from Disney star to acclaimed actress.

Roach revealed that the outfit choice was intentional, representing Zendaya’s transition from her Disney princess image to her current status as a versatile and in-demand performer. This symbolic metamorphosis was beautifully captured in Zendaya’s attire, showcasing her growth and versatility as an artist.

Behind the scenes, Zendaya offered a glimpse into the intricate technology behind the making of her dress, thanking the talented individuals who brought her fairytale vision to life.

The dress itself was a collaborative effort between the Hilfiger team and designer Hussein Chalayan, drawing inspiration from the innovative robotic dresses of Hilfiger’s Spring 2007 collection. Roach’s creative vision and collaboration with Chalayan and Hilfiger resulted in a truly unforgettable ensemble that left a lasting impression on the Met Gala attendees.

Zendaya and Roach’s partnership spans years, with memorable fashion moments that have solidified their status as a dynamic duo in the industry. From glamorous red carpet appearances to symbolic style choices, Zendaya and Roach continue to captivate audiences with their unparalleled creativity and vision.

As the night came to a close, it’s certain that Zendaya and Roach’s Cinderella-inspired transformation will remain etched in the annals of Met Gala history, adding yet another iconic moment to their ever-growing list of fashion triumphs.
