When stylist Law Roach saw actor Anna Sawai in what appeared to be a reinterpretation of Zendaya’s Met Gala suit, he was momentarily stitched into silence.
Zendaya, known for serving draw-dropping, one-of-a-kind aesthetics at the Met Gala, found herself — perhaps for the first time — matching someone else on the carpet. Roach, who styled the “Euphoria” star, was mid-interview with the outlet “Hello Beautiful” when Sawai’s look caught his sharply trained eye.
During the interview, Roach was asked, “Who helped you tailor your sense of style growing up?”
While answering, the stylist was taken aback and responded: “I am dying because she got on Zendaya’s look.”
He went on to praise the duo’s timing, noting their early arrivals helped avoid any doppelgänger drama on the carpet — a moment that would’ve woven itself into meme history.
During the event, Zendaya wore a custom Louis Vuitton suit, while Sawai was draped in Dior and styled by Karla Welch.
To the untrained eye, the looks could have passed as fashion twins. But a closer examination revealed distinctions in the tailoring of their outfits. Though their hats mimicked each other, Sawai’s suit featured more detailed pocketing, and the silhouettes diverged.
In a now-expired Instagram Story, Welch tagged Roach and wrote simply, “Great minds.” She also referred to Sawai’s look as a homage to Zendaya.
