No, a clone of Zendaya didn’t walk the 2025 Met Gala red carpet. That was just Anna Sawai, dressed in a remarkably similar outfit.
The “Euphoria” actress, 28, and the “Shōgun” star, 32, stepped out on fashion’s biggest night wearing stylish, and almost identical, white suits, a look they each completed with a matching wide-brimmed hat.
Zendaya’s look was Louis Vuitton, while Sawai was wearing Dior. Unlike Zendaya, Sawai added white gloves, which she carried on the carpet.
“Great minds @luxurylaw,” Sawai’s stylist Karla Welch wrote in an Instagram story, tagging Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach.
On X, one fan joked that Sawai made “history as the first celebrity to accidentally have an identical fit as zendaya in the same event.”
In an interview with The New York Times, Sawai said she felt “so good” in her Met Gala suit and explained that she opted for a different look than she has been known for at awards shows like the Emmys and the Golden Globes.
“I feel like every carpet, I’ve only worn dresses,” Sawai told the Times. “This is going to be the first time that I’m getting to kind of channel my androgynous side. And I’m really excited to pay respect to Black dandyism.”
The dress code for this year’s Met Gala, held on May 5, was “Tailored for You.” The event marked the Met Gala debut for Sawai, who is coming off a series of best actress wins at the Golden Globes, Emmys and Screen Actors Guild Awards for her role on the acclaimed drama series “Shōgun.”
Zendaya, meanwhile, has become a staple of the Met Gala. She previously turned heads at the event in 2024 with not one, but two different looks. This year, the “Spider-Man” star was also spotted wearing her engagement ring from Tom Holland.
