Ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, we’re taking a look at all of Zendaya’s past looks from fashion’s biggest night.
Last year, the actress was a co-chair for the star-studded event. She walked the carpet in not one, but two epic looks inspired by the event’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
This year, Zendaya will return to the carpet once more, her stylist Law Roach confirmed to E! last month. However, she and Roach will be attending the event separately.
“We are going to be on the Met Gala steps, yes, [but] separately this year,” Roach said at the time.
Last month, it was announced that Roach would be Burberry’s creative partner for the event, the theme for which is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
Although Zendaya and Roach won’t be walking the carpet together this year, fans can still expect the actress to show up in something epic after her press tours last year for “Challengers” and “Dune: Part Two.”
Below, take a look at Zendaya’s Met Gala style evolution through the years.

2015
Theme: “China: Through the Looking Glass”
Zendaya made her Met Gala debut in 2015 donning a custom Fausto Puglisi dress. It featured a black velvet bodice and a voluminous red skirt that was embellished with sun-shaped motifs. The look was complete with armbands and a tiara that also featured sun-like symbols which aligned seamlessly with the theme, “China: Through the Looking Glass.”
2016
Theme: “Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology”
The “Euphoria” star completely switched up her look for the 2016 Met Gala. She wore a dazzling gold Michael Kors dress along with a sleek bowl cut hairstyle and bold smokey eye makeup.
In Vogue interview with the late André Leon Talley, Kors said “we wanted her to be Android… robot realness” when describing Zendaya’s futuristic look.
2017
Theme: “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between”
In 2017, Zendaya graced the red carpet in a vibrant Dolce & Gabbana dress that included a mix of tropical parrots and florals that perfectly tied to the theme “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between.” She paired the look with a bright peach lipstick and beautifully blown out, naturally textured hair.
2018
Theme: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination
The actress’ fourth Met Gala appearance was inspired by Joan of Arc, and it commanded attention.
She wore a silver chainmail Atelier Versace dress that featured stylish armor-like details throughout. Her look was paired with a cropped red wavy bob and blunt bangs.
“I dreamt of Joan of Arc one night and called Versace and was like, ‘What if we did something to reference Joan of Arc?,'” Zendaya’s longtime fashion collaborator Law Roach told WWD at the time.
2019
Theme: Camp: Notes on Fashion
Zendaya’s mesmerizing 2019 dress was one of her most standout to date.
She wore a powder blue Cinderella-inspired gown that included a corseted bodice top, a billowing tulle overly bottom and puffy sleeves. One of the best elements of the dress was that it was designed to light up.
When Roach, who accompanied her and wore a correlating tuxedo look, waved his wand, Zendaya’s dress lit up and absolutely wowed onlookers.
2024
Theme: Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion
At last year’s Met Gala, Zendaya opened the carpet in a blue, black and forest green gown by Maison Margiela.
She closed the carpet in a Givenchy gown by John Galliano and paired it with a towering floral headpiece.
