• The latest acquisition of the Victoria & Albert Museum: a suit with 200 Hollywood signatures

Or Zendaya herself, who she has attended for five years with honors (getting better and better, in fact).

And, for note, the styling chosen last year by

Why are we going to miss Zendaya at the 2022 Met Gala?

The phenomenon Zendaya, who jumps from the screen to the red carpet, is one of those cases that from time to time occur in fashion (and in life): that figure that fashionistas like (that two giants like

Zendaya at the Met Gala: 5 looks to remember

Zendaya's Met Gala debut in 2015

was not even 20 years old

(18 to be exact) and she was already hitting the table (or the red carpet, in this case).

The gala focused on China at that edition, which was entitled 'China: Through The Looking Glass'.

She chose a design with a short red skirt and long train, embroidered with stars and suns, and a low-cut black top, by

who today is the creative director of Roberto Cavalli.

Details of Zendaya's first look at the Met

The accessories did not leave anyone indifferent either: a bracelet and a headband, gathering her long hair, which seemed like suns on it.

Zendaya, all glitter at the 2016 gala

She was already beginning to move away from the naive image of a Disney girl with a tight, off-the-shoulder dress, in gold that simulated pixels, since the theme was about technology,

.

The design was signed

An 'ad hoc' haircut

The actress was already learning that an impactful total look must also be transformed in 'beauty' terms.

For the occasion, she chose

a bit like

which today is an absolute trend.

Because another thing that characterizes Zendaya is that she is a visionary…

And Zendaya chose Dolce&Gabbana (and High Fashion)

It was May 2017 and the actress donned Haute Couture (which Italians call Alta Moda) from Dolce&Gabbana.

She chose it for the theme '

', and the floral and animal prints were striking, all very tropical.

An afro hair, the Zendaya without fear

To complete the look of 2017, there is nothing like adding a radical point to a beautiful and classic dress: leaving the Afro hair voluminous and forceful.

Not to mention that coral lip color, difficult, but indisputable on her.

At the religion gala, in 2018

The year that Rihanna was a popess and Katy Perry an angel, Zendaya went in another direction, and got into the skin of a medieval heroine that many identified as

With breastplate and chain mail 'all included', her dress was from

Joan of Arc in the 21st century version

Of course, the actress did not leave the hairstyle out of her interpretation, wearing a short wavy bob with mini bangs for which she is also remembered.

The nod to Disney in 2019

The last time he walked the red carpet at the Met was in that edition of difficult interpretation that was

an interpretation of bad-good taste, kitsch, exaggerated, 'flamboyant'.

Surprise, the former Disney girl dressed... in a Disney drawing, turned into an almost literal Cinderella thanks to a

Complete immersion in the Cinderella look

If there's one thing about the Met, if you play it right, it's that you don't just have to dress up, but get into the role for a day.

Zendaya, a promising actress, knows it well and hence that naive make-up, which is so unusual for her, whose blue shadows refer directly to the character she dresses.

Zendaya's classic Italian bun

And, of course, even if it's not her 'roll', Met obliges and there's a blonde hair tied up in an Italian bun that's the same as Cinderella's in a story.

The bag, the final auction

That the carriage was missing, some would say.

Well, no, the pumpkin with wheels went with it, but in a jewel bag version.
