Zendaya Secretly Changed Into a Second Met Gala Look—and the Dress Has a Fascinating Backstory
Zendaya has arrived. Hot off the heels of her sensational Challengers press tour, Zendaya is now bringing her fashion prowess to the Met Gala. Anything she wears gets attention, but as one of the evening's co-chairs, she has an even brighter spotlight on her tonight. Luckily, she and her stylist, Law Roach, delivered in spades. She wore not one but two looks.
Attending the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya changed into a dramatic off-the-shoulder black gown from Givenchy's S/S 96 couture collection designed by John Galliano. Zendaya and Law Roach sourced the historic gown from the Los Angeles vintage boutique Lily et Cie, owned by Rita Watnick. The gown is noteworthy because it comes from John Galliano's first-ever couture collection. He was the immediate successor to Hubert de Givenchy but only stayed for a short time before being replaced by Alexander McQueen and then moving on to Dior. Scroll down to see all the photos.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
