Zendaya never fails to deliver a dramatic entrance.

At just 29, the Euphoria star has already captivated audiences at the Met Gala seven times, gracing the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art with her unique style during the annual Costume Institute events.

Reflecting on her first experience, Zendaya revealed on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2024, “I first attended when I was 18. It was an exhilarating yet nerve-wracking experience.”

As she described it, “Climbing those steps is incredibly intimidating.”

Nonetheless, Zendaya has never shied away from making bold fashion statements, consistently captivating the public with her sartorial choices. Since her 2015 debut in a custom Fausto Puglisi gown for the “China: Through the Looking Glass” theme, the Emmy winner has continuously raised the bar with each subsequent appearance.

Take 2018, when she dressed up for the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” theme in a suit of armor—not to mention an Atelier Versace chainmail dress, which, according to stylist Law Roach, channelled a certain patron saint of France.
