Third time’s a charm for <\/span>Zendaya<\/a>! The co-chair of the\u00a0<\/span>2024 Met Gala<\/a> dazzled in a trio of looks at Monday’s event, slipping into an ethereal white look while inside the festivities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For ensemble number three, the <\/span>Challengers <\/span><\/em>star chose a custom gown from Celia Kritharioti. The form-fitting dress featured a plunging neckline and intricate beadwork that included tiny flowers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Zendaya showed off her third style as she stood on stage inside\u00a0the\u00a0Metropolitan Museum of Art\u00a0with her fellow co-chairs, <\/span>Jennifer Lopez<\/a>, <\/span>Bad Bunny<\/a> and <\/span>Chris Hemsworth<\/a>. Unlike her previous pair of red carpet looks, Z went without a headpiece for the party and kept her hair tied back in a low bun. She accessorized with a sparkling pair of droplet earrings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 27-year-old actress was the only one of her co-chairs to opt for a wardrobe change. Lopez, Bad Bunny and Hemsworth\u00a0<\/span>kept it consistent<\/a>\u00a0with their same outfits from the red carpet:\u00a0a Schiaparelli\u00a0gown for Lopez,\u00a0a custom, deconstructed Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano suit with a regal hat and shades <\/span>on Bad Bunny<\/a>, and <\/span>Hemsworth in a<\/a> white three-piece Tom Ford suit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This year’s Met Gala theme — “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” — is a nod to fashion history.\u00a0The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition theme — curated and organized by The Costume Institute — features 250 items from its permanent collection displayed in a new, innovative way.<\/span><\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, Z nailed the\u00a0“Garden of Time” dress code alongside her longtime friend and stylist, Law Roach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For <\/span>her first look of the evening<\/a>, Zendaya stole the show in an edgy, peacock-inspired Maison Margiela gown with a faux-feathered headpiece. The look also served as a brilliant reinterpretation of an ensemble worn by actress\u00a0Suzanne Von Aichinger from the Dior 1999 show.<\/span><\/p>\n After strutting her way up the storied museum steps, Zendaya <\/span>made a quick change<\/a> and returned in\u00a0yet another jaw-dropping gown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The black garment — a\u00a0Givenchy Haute Couture by John Galliano from the spring\/summer 1996 collection — included a corseted top and a long train, and was perfectly accessorized with\u00a0a floral headpiece.<\/span><\/p>\n Her second look came from Rita Watnick, who spoke with ET about how the dress ended up in the\u00a0<\/span>Euphoria\u00a0<\/span><\/em>actress’ hands.<\/span><\/p>\n Watnick — who owns the Los Angeles boutique LILY et Cie — shared that the wheels in Roach’s head first began spinning several months ago, but that the starlet who would go on to wear the gown had a first fitting merely a few weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n “We were discussing clothes, showing pieces, having a lovely time at the store, and when he left, I actually had no idea that he’d found what he thought was the right dress for Zendaya,” Watnick said of their first encounter with Roach, 45.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the initial fitting, the store owner said, “It was nice, easy, fun, comfortable. She tried on one dress and then we waited about a week or so to find out that that in fact was what she wanted to wear.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Watnick said that while she doesn’t typically work with stylists — she likes to work directly with the source — she was willing to make an exception for Roach and Zendaya.<\/span><\/p>\n “I think they’re really blazing a very incredible fashion landscape together,” she added. “They must be very much in consort with one another.”<\/span><\/p>\n While the dress itself held a story in its beauty and stature, the boutique owner took a moment to acknowledge the extra special meaning she found in the choice.<\/span><\/p>\n “The opening of that show was based on\u00a0<\/span>The Princess and the Pea<\/span><\/em>\u00a0and the looks were also informed by the court of Princess Eugenie Napoleon III and based on these really spectacular women at court,” she said. “I would call it actually a court dress and Zendaya will be holding court as will Law.”<\/span><\/p>\n Entertainment Tonight was on the iconic\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Met Gala<\/a>\u00a0red carpet, with ETonline offering <\/span>live updates<\/a><\/i>\u00a0and all of the jaw-dropping red carpet looks.
