After stealing the show at the 2025 Met Gala in a sharply tailored white suit and dramatic hat, Zendaya made yet another style statement at the after-party held at Casa Cipriani. Swapping structure for shimmer, she arrived in a stunning vintage red floral gown by legendary Black designer Patrick Kelly.
The strapless sequin dress featured a vibrant rose pattern in shades of watermelon-red and maroon, catching the light with every step. To add drama and elegance, Zendaya draped a burgundy-and-black feather shawl around her shoulders. The look was completed with pointy red heels, a matching red manicure, and diamond accessories, including stud earrings and a sparkling ring.
Her slicked-back ballerina bun added a refined finish, keeping the spotlight on her ensemble. This fashion moment wasn’t just glamorous—it was intentional. By choosing a design from Patrick Kelly, Zendaya paid tribute to a trailblazing Black designer whose work and legacy continue to inspire.
The look aligned perfectly with this year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which explores how style has shaped Black identity across the Atlantic diaspora. As always, her longtime stylist Law Roach was behind the transformation, ensuring Zendaya’s style narrative stayed strong throughout the night.
Once again, Zendaya proved that fashion isn’t just about looking good—it’s about telling a story.
