Before accepting her honor on stage, the star hit the red carpet with a glamorous look fit for a big winner: She teamed up with Law Roach in a custom Valentino gown that channeled mid-century screen alarms.
Elegant ensembles are new territory for Zendaya and Roach, who usually love high-drama ensembles in bold colors. “We took inspiration from Grace Kelly and old Hollywood movies,” Roach said of the new fashion spirit. “Zendaya and I were also inspired by Valentino’s fall 271 Collection. Linda Evangelista wore a red dress in an editorial and we took inspiration from the bodice of the dress – but we changed it to black and the skirt became much bigger.”

Of course, creating such a theatrical design is not without obstacles. Roach shared that Valentino actually made three dresses for Zendaya, and while they were all “incredible,” none of them felt quite right. Suddenly, he found the winning design in his dream. “I woke up in the middle of the night and called Valentino to have them make this new dress,” Roach said. “It was the last dress we tried on, and I have to thank the team so much. The women worked hard and everything was done by hand.” The dress was ready in about a week.
Roach says he always uses care – like, he never wants to over-modern it. “We like things that are very real,” Roach said. “People are always afraid of that because they don’t want it to look like a costume. That look might be considered pompous, but it’s her way of presenting herself on the rug and it’s never going to look that way.” He Bulgari jewelry was also minimally designed, allowing a few statement pieces — like a platinum high jewelry necklace with oval diamonds — to shine. “Jewelry is always the icing on the cake,” says Roach. “I want her to shine – it’s all about girls and dresses.”
After Zendaya collects the trophy, she changes to a different statement. At the party afterward, she wore a custom red Valentino dress with a plunging neckline. “It’s a modern take on the Julia Roberts Pretty Woman dress,” says Roach. “It’s based on the neckline that was shown at the Valentino fashion show.”
Vogue Asked Roach about getting AI How they’re going to celebrate the night together before the Beauty Awards, so imagine: “We’ll laugh and laugh and be thankful for what happened.”
