When It Comes to the Met Gala, Zendaya Always Understands the Assignment

As a seven-time Met Gala attendee, Zendaya is no stranger to hitting the event's famous red carpet. So, one could say the anticipation was high for the star to make a cameo at the 2025 Met Gala. On the first Monday in May, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour will co-chaired the 2025 Met Gala—with LeBron James serving as honorary chair—celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” And if anyone was up for the challenge of delivering a memorable fashion look on the Met steps, it was Zendaya. The actor arrived in a custom Louis Vuitton three-piece suit in cream, accessorized with a wide-brimmed hat.

Of course, this wasn't Zendaya's first fashion flex at the event. Since attending her very first Met back in 2015, the Euphoria and Dune star has consistently served up ensembles that are as head-turning as they are on theme. One standout example? In 2018 when the actor wore an armored Versace look as a nod to Joan of Arc. It was a smart choice for the "Heavenly Bodies" theme, which dove into the intersection of Catholicism and fashion. Zendaya also nailed thematic dressing for the 2019 "Camp: Notes on Fashion" gala, when she showed up in a Cinderella-like Tommy Hilfiger gown, complete with stylist Law Roach as her fairy godmother—wand and all. If Zendaya is going to do one thing on the carpet, it’s put on a show.

Last year for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme, Zendaya delivered not one but two striking ensembles. She first hit the Met steps in an ocean blue gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano that included a matching dramatic headpiece by Stephen Jones. She then followed it up with never-before-worn vintage Givenchy couture from the spring 1996 collectsion, one of two collectsions that Galliano designed for the house.

Let's hope she hits the carpet again next year!
