The Meta Gala 2024 is upon us but Zendaya's dress is not there… Why? We have an idea

There are two types of people in the world: those who plan and those who choose everything at the last minute. A discussion that can easily be applied even when it comes to deciding what to wear. This is how the guests who are still preparing or vice versa who have already prepared their outfit for months are divided Met Gala 2024.

Jennifer Lopez, for example, he says he will wait until the last minute, while for Zendayathe other co-president of the evening «the architect of the image» Law Roach, in an interview with The New York Timessays her outfit isn't ready yet.

In fact, when asked directly, it stylist he replies: «I haven't seen the dress of Zendaya. We did two press tours (Dunes 2 And Challengers) and created two covers of Vogue. The dress isn't even packaged. I won't get into it until Saturday.” Indeed, in the last period there have been many pivots for the duo who did not spare themselves in creating stratospheric looks: from the most futuristic ensembles for the tour of the sequel to Dunes up to the outfits tenniscore during the promotion of the film by Luca Guadagnino.

A relationship that has lasted for years between Zendaya And Law Roach, who says: «We define ourselves as the soul mates of fashion. We also refer to our relationship as “big ideas, small details.” I come in with suggestions like, “You should wear 14 dresses, you should change, and you should wear a wig and take it off so your hair falls to your shoulders!” And she said, 'No, no, no, no. We'll make two dresses and I'll keep the same hair'.”

In short, a partnership that has found a perfect balance and that continues despite the apparent “withdrawal” of the stylist: «I am the most retired pensioner. But everything I'm doing now is on my terms. I said no to a lot of people, except for Zendaya. I can't say no to her.”

But returning to the dress that the actress will wear at Met Gala 2024… Is it really possible that nothing is ready yet? No. Time was not on their side, of course, however knowing the genius, creativity and originality of Law Roach he has certainly already thought of something and planned something in view of the next night glam of all New York. However confident one may be in one's means and ideas, no one, even the most daring and courageous, would want to risk so much for a highly followed event.

So, the reason why you have to save until the last minute is something else. The theme of Met Gala will be The Garden of Time, inspired by the story of the same name by the British writer JG Ballard and there will undoubtedly be floral looks, dreamy and fluttering dresses with light and sinuous fabrics.

So here is the hypothesis: Zendaya who arrives in front of the staircase with a colorful dress made with real, freshly cut flowers. It would be an original touch, a clever – and at the same time very fragrant – way of interpreting the dress code of this year. The timing and realization of such a work match perfectly with what was stated by Law Roach, but will it really be like this? We just have to wait May 6th.
