Method Dressing: Behind Zendaya's Iconic Red Carpet Fits

Alongside her longtime stylist and "image architect," Law Roach, Zendaya has spent more than a decade creating red carpet looks inspired by the characters she brings to life on screen. One of her most iconic fashion storytelling moments was during the press run for 2026's ‘The Drama’, where she and Roach built an entire press tour around the famous wedding rhyme: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." She kicked things off in a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown she originally wore to the Oscars in 2015, before stepping out in Rome wearing an archival Armani Privé dress previously worn by none other than Cate Blanchett. And of course, Zendaya brought ancient Greece to the red carpet for ‘The Odyssey’. Wearing a Schiaparelli couture gown featuring a sculpted breastplate inspired by Greek statues, paired with shimmering siver makeup and diamond jewelry, she fully embraced her role as the goddess Athena.
