Throughout the years, the [_Challengers_](https://time.com/6971016/challengers-review/) star has cemented her status as a true style icon, thanks to her [fearless approach to dressing up](https://time.com/6970050/zendaya-red-carpet-2024/) and her longtime collaboration with her stylist and "image architect," Law Roach. So it should come as no surprise that when it came to [fashion's biggest night, the annual Met Gala](https://time.com/6972918/met-gala-history/), Zendaya served up a truly stunning look—a dark, romantic custom Maison Margiela gown. **Read more:** [_From Glambots to Tennis-Core, See Zendaya’s Best Red-Carpet Looks This Year_](https://time.com/6970050/zendaya-red-carpet-2024/) For her first look for the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya, who served as one of the event's co-chairs, and Roach selected a deep blue and dark green striped organza gown that was designed by Margiela creative director John Galliano, which they accessorized with a matching blue Philip Treacy fascinator punctuated by a sweeping feather. The dress was also embellished with metallic green bunches of grapes, flowers and blue birds, a lush touch that helped to drive home the "Garden of Time" theme. The look referenced a dress that Galliano had designed for Christian Dior's Spring/Summer 1999 haute couture collection.  Theo Wargo—GA/The Hollywood Reporter/Getty Images; Dia Dipasupil—Getty Images About three hours after she made her first appearance, Zendaya returned in her second look of the night, donning a dramatic black gown with an impressive train that brought to mind the Gilded Age. She topped off the look with a matching headpiece that resembled a bouquet of roses.  Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images; Theo Wargo—GA/The Hollywood Reporter/Getty Images Zendaya made her Met Gala debut in 2015 and attended every year until 2019, serving memorable looks like a Joan of Arc-inspired chainmail Versace gown in 2018 and a show-stopping yellow and red floral print ballgown by Dolce&Gabbana in 2017\. For the past five years, between pandemic cancellations of the event and work commitments, Zendaya has taken a hiatus from the event. But this year, her triumphant return to the Met Gala, proves that it was well worth the wait.
