(Photo by Jamie McCarthy/FilmMagic) I am not sure this was on-theme, interestingly, given her proclivities now; she looks more like a really funky Tarot deck. But it was Zendaya's first Met Gala and she looks adorable and cool and FANCY, and she was only 18, so I think she hit the target enough. This is the outfit I think of EVERY time Puglisi's name comes up. ## Zendaya in Michael Kors, "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology," 2016 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-527449660-1714964421.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 02: Actess Zendaya attends the "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology" Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) I don't have any memory of why this fit the theme -- some didn't; some turned out to be machine-made in unusual ways; I have no record of what this was -- but it's SO cool. This wig was incredible on her, and is an EXTREMELY high degree of difficulty, which I suspect helped really ANNOUNCE her to the world. ## Zendaya in Dolce & Gabbana, "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between," 2017 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-680445358-1714964445.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 01: Zendaya at 'Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons:Art of the In-Between' Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Jackson Lee/FilmMagic) This predated people knowing about D&G being gross, I believe. If anyone is gonna do Dolce today, THIS is the kind of stuff of theirs to do -- those prints that look like Italian ceramics are really in their wheelhouse, and while I know they're arguably more famous for corsets and such, I think it's their unique strength. She looks incredible in this, and no, once again, I am not sure how this connects to Kawakubo, but I don't think anyone minded. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-675615086-1714964433.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 01: Zendaya attends the "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between" Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/FilmMagic) Let's give her a full stairs moment! ## Zendaya in Versace, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala," 2018 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-955791084-1714964458.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 07: Zendaya attends the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/WireImage) Donatella Versace is often GREAT at the Met, and this was no exception. We had a few takes on Joan of Arc at this one, and Zendaya's was fantastic. She CARRIED this chain mail. ## Zendaya in Tommy Hilfiger, "Camp: Notes On Fashion," 2019 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-1141848730-1714964482.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 06: Zendaya and Law Roach attend the 2019 Met Gala celebrating "Camp: Notes on Fashion" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Taylor Hill/FilmMagic) This one was divisive! Doing a light-up dress after [Claire Danes did one in 2016](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/met-gala-2016-manus-x-machina-fashion-in-an-age-of-technology/claire-danes-met-gala-2016-posen-1-compressed-1588872473?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) didn't bother me; concepts get repeated in fashion all the time, and ideas (and technology) are built upon and expanded. My beefs: This didn't WORK as well as Claire's, electronically, and when the dress wasn't lit up, it looked dirty and dingy. [Claire's was stunning even when turned off](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/met-gala-2016-manus-x-machina-fashion-in-an-age-of-technology/gettyimages-527448638-compressed-1588873040?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2024/05/GettyImages-1141834952-1714964470.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - MAY 06: Zendaya attends the 2019 Met Gala celebrating "Camp: Notes on Fashion" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Taylor Hill/FilmMagic) I'm also just not sure I think Cinderella as a concept was very campy, not even with Law there holding a wand. That was my least favorite part (I skipped it here). I appreciate the swing and I'm not as actively angry about it as some people, but she hasn't been back to the Met since and I'm looking forward to her taking a step forward again. And Tommy Hilfiger should certainly think twice the next time he tries to design in Zac Posen's shadow.
