The Met Gala<\/a> has seen Zendaya<\/strong><\/a> take the forms of Cinderella, a saint, and several personas in between. After serving as a cochair for the Met Gala 2024 and impressing us enough to make both Vanity Fair<\/em>‘s best dressed list<\/a> and the top theme winners<\/a> of the night, all eyes are on Zendaya to see what she’ll dream up for the Met Gala 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a cochair last year alongside Cond\u00e9 Nast Global Chief Content Officer Anna Wintour, Chris Hemsworth<\/a>,<\/strong> Bad Bunny,<\/strong> and Jennifer Lopez,<\/strong> Zendaya helped plan and promote the fundraising event. Though she was an early arrival on the carpet, that didn\u2019t mean her look was necessarily completed early: Law Roach,<\/strong> who has worked with Zendaya on her fashion since she was 13, told The New York Times<\/em> Thursday<\/a> days before the event that the actor\u2019s dress \u201cisn\u2019t even made.”<\/p>\n Zendaya, however, seemed unbothered.<\/p>\n \u201cHopefully with the Met, since I\u2019ve been away for so many years, maybe this time around I won\u2019t be so stressed,\u201d she told USA Today<\/em><\/a> ahead of the 2024 event, her first since 2019.<\/p>\n The actor made her Met Gala debut in 2015, the same year that Rihanna<\/strong> established herself<\/a> as a Met must-watch with her canary yellow Guo Pei gown for the year\u2019s \u201cChina: Through the Looking Glass\u201d theme. The then 18-year-old Zendaya made a great first impression at the event herself in a knee-length Fausto Puglisi gown with a dramatic train and coordinating headpiece.<\/p>\n She attended every year between 2015 and 2019, stealing the show in looks such as a Versace take on Joan of Arc for 2018\u2019s \u201cHeavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination\u201d theme, and even brought Roach along with her in 2019 to be the fairy godmother to her over-the-top, Tommy Hilfiger\u2013clad Cinderella. That look, complete with a pumpkin carriage purse and special effects smoke billowing from Roach\u2019s magic wand, coordinated with the night\u2019s \u201cCamp: Notes on Fashion\u201d dress code.<\/p>\n The star then took a break from attending the party for a few years, only to make her triumphant Met Gala return in 2024. Zendaya donned not one but two<\/em> show-stopping looks<\/a> on the red carpet, wowing onlookers first with a bold peacock blue Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano haute couture look, then later reappearing in a second look, also designed by Galliano. Her head-turning take two was a black archival Givenchy gown from 1996\u2014Galliano’s very first haute couture collection for the house. She topped the look off with a colorful floral headpiece, posing herself as a bouquet: A centerpiece-worthy statement whose beauty would change with time as a nod to the exhibit’s “Garden of Time” theme.<\/p>\n As for the Met Gala 2025, all eyes are on Zendaya to see what she’ll wow us with next.<\/p>\n Be sure to follow along with Vanity Fair<\/em>\u2019s live coverage of the 2025 Met Gala<\/a> on May 5 to watch fashion\u2019s biggest night unfold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
