The Drama of Dress: Zendaya Style Lexicon

Zendaya and her Law Roach, who she has been working with since she was 14 years old to create some of the most iconic red carpet moments to date.

It's rare to see such a long lasting relationship in Hollywood, especially one between an actor and their stylist. Zendaya and Law Roach's creative relationship has set a precedent for red carpet dressing and re popularised "method dressing" on press tours. Intelligent, daring, complex and thoughtful, they continually set new benchmarks for what truly qualifies as a true fashion moment.

The Dune: Part Two press tour was the fashion gift that kept on giving so we can only imagine what Part Three will have in store. Here's something old and something new from their long standing collaboration together.

2015 The Vivienne Westwood gown she recently rewore as part of her "something old" element of The Drama premiere in L.A. She also famously clapped back at a racially coded criticism she received from Giuliana Rancic at E news, for wearing her hair in dreadlocks at the event.

2016 Zendaya at a private Grammys celebration in LA wear Fausto Puglisi and thigh high buckled sandals. Only she could serve this hard in a bowl cut.
