    No pairing can match Zendaya and celebrity stylist Law Roach in "method dressing" and dominating the red carpet.

    According to Vogue, method dressing is "a chance to extend a project’s cinematic universe onto the red carpet before the movie even premieres" through fashion and style. 

    Stars who've adopted this trend include Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling for Barbie, Anya Taylor-Joy for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Timothée Chalamet for Wonka, and of course, Zendaya.

    Zendaya and Law have worked together for over a decade since her earliest days as a Disney Channel starlet.

    The 45-year-old stylist has worked with celebrities like Céline Dion, Anya Taylor-Joy, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Anne Hathaway, and Ariana Grande. Still, his work with Zendaya is in a league of its own.

    The game was changed forever when Law's stylings with Zendaya became featured on magazine covers, film premieres, awards shows, and the Met Gala.

    Then, in March 2023, Law shocked everyone when he announced he was quitting at the height of his career.

    But fortunately, this didn't spell the end of his magical relationship with Zendaya. They were just getting started.

    In a New York Times interview, Law reflected on working with Zendaya and the evolution of his career after announcing his retirement in 2023. "I'm the most unretired retired person. But everything I'm doing now is on my own terms. I've been saying no to a lot of unhappy people. Except Zendaya. I can't say no to her."

    "We call each other our fashion soulmates," Law said. "We also refer to our relationship as 'big ideas, small details.' I come in with, 'You should wear 14 dresses, and you should change, and you should have a wig on and take it off so your hair should fall down!' And she’s, 'No, no, no, no. We’re going to do two dresses, and I’m going to keep the same hair.'"

    "It’s like, I write the script, and she does the rewrites," he continued. "Not saying that we don’t argue, because we do, and we fight over things. But I know my place. I know she’s the boss, and she also has enough respect for me and love for me to let me be the boss sometimes."

    Law and Zendaya will join forces once again for the 2024 Met Gala. This year's exhibit is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.

    This exhibit will focus on the Met's permanent collection of iconic garments that are too fragile to wear.

    The gala dress code is "The Garden of Time," which could complement the exhibit's focus on honoring fragile and archival looks with an emphasis on floral and generational motifs.

    This year, Zendaya, alongside Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, will serve as co-chairs for the 2024 Met Gala. And based on past gala collaborations between Law and Zendaya, this year is highly anticipated.

    But, if you thought the unstoppable fashion duo already had the Met Gala look in the bag, you'd be way off. "I haven't seen Zendaya's dress!" Law told NYT. "We've been on two press tours — Dune 2 and Challengers — and doing two Vogue covers. The dress isn't even made. They won't fit until Saturday."

    Whatever look Zendaya and Law Roach choose for the 2024 Met Gala will surely be a testament to the magic they have created over the years.

    Based on some of the archival and colorful motifs seen this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if Law and Zendaya gave a taste of what’s to come at the Met Gala.
