Zendaya Delivers a Red-Carpet Style Lesson in Color Blocking
Zendaya is back on the red carpet and looking as glamorous as ever.
Last night, the actress and her longtime stylist, Law Roach, teamed up to pull a vintage piece from designer Bob Mackie's fall 1998 collection, which she wore at the Time 100 Gala in New York City.
The gown was a couture take on colorblocking. It featured diagonal strips of teal and turquoise silk faille, as well as emerald velvet, creating a pointed sweetheart neckline and a subtle train.
"@luxurylaw was given rare access to the Bob Mackie archives, to dress @zendaya for the #Time100 Gala," said a statement posted to Mackie's Instagram. "Zendaya wears a vintage teal and turquoise silk faille, emerald velvet strapless couture ball gown, from the Fall 1998 collection."
The duo also made sure to accessorize with diamonds via a few rings and a tennis necklace.
Earlier this year, Roach spoke to Cosmopolitan about his relationship with the Dune star.
"We’ve been together for so long," he told the magazine. "Fashion is secondary to our love for each other as people and as family. That’s my sister, you know what I mean? So that’s what’s important to us—that we continue to nourish our relationship as brother and sister."
When it comes to orchestrating Zendaya's next showstopping look, Roach said that it's just "wherever they end up," though the process "is not easy." And, even while working with A-listers like Zendaya, he draws style inspiration from everyday women. "Women in the airport, walking down the street—just women," he said. "I’m so inspired by women. I think it’s such an art form, what you guys get up and do every day to be who you are. I just love it. It’s just so inspiring to me."
