According to the stylist, he and Zendaya “are forever!” đź«‚
We all know and love Zendaya for the absolute fashion icon that she is, and her longtime relationship with her stylist, Law Roach, has played a huge part in her legacy. Originally a friend of her dad/manager, Kazembe Coleman’s friend, Law started working with Zendaya when she was still the reigning queen of Disney Channel in the 2010s. Since then, Z has shut down every red carpet, from the Kids Choice Awards to the Met Gala (multiple times!).
When Law shocked the world and announced his retirement in 2023, fans were quick to worry about his work with the Emmy-winning actor (among his other high-profile clients like CĂ©line Dion, Ariana Grande, and Megan Thee Stallion). “My Cup is empty….. thank you to everyone who’ve supported me and my career over the years. Every person that trusted me with their image, I’m so grateful for you all. If this business was just about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately it’s not! The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me! You win…I’m out,” he wrote in a cryptic Instagram post at the time, per USA Today. How! Ever! He later reassured everyone that he and Z were going absolutely nowhere, tweeting, “So y’all really think I’m breaking up with Z….. we are forever!”
And that they are! Check out Zendaya and Law Roach’s full friendship timeline below.

Say what you want, but the metallic blazer is such a moment… and the look *is* cohesive! Put some respect on Law’s name.

Shortly after the Grammys, Law and Zendaya had a viral moment when she wore a bright yellow and blue Muiniko coat during New York Fashion Week in 2014. “The simple look that started all the Frenzy….” Law wrote on Instagram.
“She got out the car. Nobody knew who she was,” Law told The Verge in 2018. “[But then] we started walking up the steps of Lincoln Center, and it was like one photographer, and then it was three photographers, and then it was six, and then it was 12. It was crazy.”

Law styled Zendaya for her Met Gala debut. The theme that year was “China: Through the Looking Glass,” and she wore a black, white, and red high-low Fausto Puglisi gown with gold detailing.
