Law Roach says all things are good between his client Zendaya and Anna Sawai.
On May 5, the actresses broke the Internet after showing up to the 2025 Met Gala in nearly identical looks in honor of the “Tailored for You” dress code. Each wore a fitted white suit with a floppy hat, with Zendaya, 28, in Louis Vuitton by Pharrell Williams and Sawai, 32, in Dior.
Despite the commotion their accidental twinning caused online, Roach — who was filmed cooly reacting to seeing Sawai on the carpet — confirms that the vibes are all good not only between the two stars, but also between himself and Sawai’s stylist.

“I think people thought there was some type of disappointment on our end. Her stylist Karla Welch and I are very friendly, we’ve known each other for years. Karla and I talked, Zendaya sent Anna flowers because it was [Sawai’s] first Met,” he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Disney Upfront on May 13.

Roach added that the moment was no big deal since Zendaya and Sawai were “two people paying homage to two different people.” The Euphoria actress had drawn inspiration from Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger while the Shōgun star’s ensemble nodded to Yoko Ono.
“It just happened. They both looked great and they’re both beautiful women. I hate the way people try to pin women or stylists [against each other],” Roach added.
While Zendaya has yet to comment on the situation, Sawai opened up about it on Instagram, writing, “I know a lot of people have a lot to say, and trust me, I admire her too. But most importantly, I’m so happy with my look, so please be happy for me too.”
This year’s Met Gala theme celebrated the Costume Institute’s exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
Per Vogue, the exhibit draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity and will “feature garments, paintings, photographs, and more — all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century through present day.” Miller will serve as a guest curator for the show with Costume Institute Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton.
