Zendaya Never Misses With Her Met Gala Outfits! Photos of All of Her Looks Over the Years

2015

Zendaya’s sun-studded dress was a magnificent display of the theme, “China: Through the Looking Glass.” The masterpiece was such a hit that it blew late fashion journalist André Leon Talley away.

The theme was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” and Zendaya interpreted the dress code with her outfit.

The Oakland native wore a gold rhinestone Michael ​Kors gown that featured a one-sleeved high neckline – and it fit her like a glove. Zendaya also wore a drastic hairstyle as her long locks were chopped into a bowl cut, which was quite a bold move on her part!

A big reason why the former Disney star always stands out at the Met Gala is that she never returns wearing a similar ensemble as the year prior.

This year, Zendaya cut back on the hair and glam and arrived in a breathtaking Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda ball gown. To dress ​for the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” theme, the gown featured florals and ​Macaw birds ​] displayed on the skirt portion, which flared out onto the floor.

Zendaya’s natural hair was her best accessory, as it perfectly fell and held in place with its vibrant bounce. She rocked a bronzed look for makeup and locked in the entire creation with a bold red lip that perfectly matched the fabric of her dress.

Zendaya arrived as a gorgeous knight in shining armor in her silver-chained Versace dress for the theme “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” The incredibly designed look featured a high leg slit and metal apliqués that represented knight armor, including a chest shield, thinly layered arm pads and a metal belt that cinched her waist.

Of course, Zendaya’s outfit wasn’t the only marvelous part about the ensemble as she rocked a copper ​bob with micro bangs and flashed blinding diamond rings.

This Cinderella slay got Zendaya an automatic spot as a co-chair for the 2024 Met Gala!

The Emmy-winning actor brought the fairy tale in the theme “Camp: Notes on Fashion” as she wore a Tommy Hilfiger gown. Zendaya’s hair was blonde and pulled back into a bun as a light blue headband rested on the middle of her head. Not only did her stylist, Law Roach, dress as her fairy godfather, but he showered Zendaya with magical smoke before she left her slipper at the top of the Met steps.

This was more than just a slay for Zendaya, as ​she took the Cinderella approach to give a grand goodbye to her Disney image and transform gracefully into her adult career.

2024

Zendaya was one of the first arrivals in honor of her co-chair duties. The theme was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and the dress code was “The Garden of Time.”

The Challengers star seemingly took a water approach to the theme as she looked like a wicked mermaid in a multi-layered Maison Margiela by John Galliano dress.

2024 Look No. 2

Zendaya made up for her five-year hiatus by walking the steps twice with a dazzling outfit change. The Spider-Man: Homecoming actress wore an off-the-shoulder black corset gown with a train that trailed down an entire flight of steps. Zendaya completed the dark gown with a vibrant floral headpiece that held multi-colored roses.
