Her dress, which had a bright parrot pattern, spanned the length of the Met's famous steps with a train featuring floral designs and an orange hem.

She wore her hair in a short red bob with bangs and rocked some smokey eye makeup.

With a little help from her fairy godmother Law Roach, Z nailed the theme of the 2019 Met Gala, Camp: Notes on Fashion.

Zendaya may or may not have arrived in a pumpkin-turned-carriage as she rocked a Tommy Hilfiger dress modeled after Cinderella's famous ball gown.

As Roach waved his magic wand, the stunning ensemble lit up.

The eccentric look embodied the theme's attention-drawing nature, making it one of her most on-point attendances yet.

As one of the evening's co-chairs, Zendaya pulled out all the stops in an epic return to the Met Gala in 2024.

She sported not one but two show-stopping numbers on the carpet – both styled by Law Roach.

The first number was designed by John Galliano and featured a dramatic black-and-blue gown adorned with tulle and feathers.

Just a little while later, Zendaya returned in another John Galliano look – this time a Mexican-gothic black corset gown, which she paired with a dramatic floral headpiece.

Zendaya is expected to attend the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, but Roach has teased that the two will not be walking the carpet together as they have in the past.
