You can always count on Zendaya to bring the drama.
The Euphoria actress is only 29 years old, but she’s already taken the Met Gala steps by storm at seven of the annual Costume Institute benefits for The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
“I first went when I was 18 years old,” she shared on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2024. “It was such an exciting and new experience but still terrifying, you know?”
Indeed, as Zendaya put it, “Going up the steps, it’s very daunting.”
But that hasn’t stopped her from being a fashion risk-taker and ensnaring us all in her web of style. After making her debut at the 2015 bash—in a custom Fausto Puglisi dress for the “China: Through the Looking Glass” theme—the Emmy winner has upped the ante with one look after the next.
Take 2018, when she dressed up for the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” theme in a suit of armor—not to mention an Atelier Versace chainmail dress, which, according to stylist Law Roach, channelled a certain patron saint of France.
