Zendaya 2024 Met Gala Review | Full Analysis + Essence Breakdown | My Authentic Style

The 2024 Met Gala theme was set as the 'Garden of Time/ Reawakening Fashion' and this year's event marked Zendaya's return to the event after a 5 year absence. So, I (like everyone else) was beyond excited to see what she would wear because she is arguably THE fashion girl of our times with countless iconic and jaw-dropping looks through the years. So, the stage was set for her to create one of these moments yet again.
Zendaya's looks were quite divisive in terms of reception, and I fall into the camp of people who were ultimately disappointed by her choices, particularly her first (main) look. Don't get me wrong: I think she nailed the theme and made some incredible references. It was a well thought out look with great execution- I just think it wasn't quite right for HER.
In this video I break down why I feel this way and even discuss what I might have liked to see. As always, let me know what you think and let's hash it out in the comments section lol. Enjoy!

When they put her in the gamine lines, her expression looks harsh or even angry, it comes off that way because it is such a mismatch for her essence. Great video.

I appreciate your detailed analysis. We also must remember that celebrity and fashion are businesses. Anna Wintour pairs designers with Met Gala guests. Wintour has been trying to rehabilitate John Galliano's reputation for years. Therefore, pairing him with Zendaya, a celebrated fashion icon, elevates Galliano's stunning creativity. Was it a good match in this case? As you pointed out, there are different routes Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach, could have taken. However, we don't know the politics and the business behind the scenes that could have affected their style choices.

I didn't like any of it. She looked like an old and sick lady from the Capital in Hunger Games
