Zendaya once again proved she’s a true fashion icon at the 2025 Met Gala. Dressed in a custom white three-piece suit by Pharrell Williams for Chanel, the actress effortlessly nailed this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Exuding confidence and sophistication, she paid tribute to Black dandyism with a bold twist on classic tailoring, turning heads with every step on the Met carpet.
Solo Appearance, But With a Sparkling Statement
While Zendaya arrived solo without fiancé Tom Holland—she didn’t go unnoticed. The Dune star proudly flaunted her stunning 5.02-carat diamond engagement ring, set in 18-karat white gold, gifted by the Spider-Man actor. Though she wasn’t accompanied by her longtime collaborator Law Roach on the red carpet, the celebrity stylist was still behind the vision. Roach, who walked the carpet separately, had earlier teased their individual Met Gala plans, saying, “We’re doing our own thing this year, which is exciting.”

Fashion Tribute to Zoot Suit Elegance
Zendaya’s Met Gala ensemble was a tribute to the rock and roll history of the zoot suit—an iconic symbol of Black dandyism. Her outfit included a white single-breasted tuxedo jacket, waistcoat, flowing silk skirt, tie, and flared trousers. She completed the look with a dramatic wide-brimmed white felt hat and a pearl-encrusted Speedy bag. Her look was accessorized with fine jewellery from Bulgari, adding just the right amount of sparkle.

Zendaya arrived as the exact theme… SUPERFINE. TAILORED. BLACK. STYLE.
It’s giving me modern Mahogany realness from the classic Diana Ross film. it’s also low-key giving Bridal Dandy with the Tom Holland sponsored ice on that hand. as always, she cleaned across the board.… pic.twitter.com/NWeFq6MxPc
