Zendaya’s stylist reveals star sent Anna Sawais flowers after they accidentally matched at Met Gala

Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, has revealed the star sent Shōgun actor Anna Sawai flowers after they accidentally wore matching outfits to the 2025 Met Gala.

Zendaya, 28, walked the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week in a three-piece custom Louis Vuitton suit, designed by Pharrell Williams. She completed the look with a wide-brimmed hat and a brooch pinned to her back collar.

Meanwhile, Sawai, 32, arrived wearing a three-piece Dior suit and an almost identical wide-brimmed hat. The only difference between the ensembles was that Sawai’s trousers were wide-legged rather than flared.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight,

Roach’s reaction to the matching ensembles was caught on camera and was perceived by the internet to be one of annoyance said:

He denied this on Entertainment Tonight, stating: “I think people thought that there was some type of disappointment on our end.”

He continued: “[Sawai’s] stylist Karla Welch and I are very friendly, we've known each other for years, and Karla and I talked. Zendaya sent Anna flowers, you know, because it was her first Met.”

Roach told Hello Beautiful on the night of the Met Gala: “I am dying ’cause she’s got on Zendaya’s look…mI’m so glad we came early.”

The theme for the annual haute couture fundraising event focused on the concept of Black dandyism – and was the first in 20 years to focus entirely on menswear.

The event’s dress code, “Tailored For You”, encouraged individual expression. However, both actors – who were styled by different fashion houses – interpreted the theme the same way.

Williams designed Zendaya's suit to reference outfits worn by trailblazing Black female performers such as Jamaican singer Grace Jones and 1920s American Blues singer Gladys Bentley, he told Vogue.

Meanwhile, Sawai said of her own markedly similar outfit: “I wanted to respect the moment, so I came in a suit. I know dandies are known for extravagance, but I wanted to keep it simple.”

Addressing her matching moment with Zendaya following the event, the Shōgun star wrote on Instagram: “I know a lot of people have a lot to say, and trust me, I admire her too. But most importantly, I’m so happy with my look, so please be happy for me too.”
