Zendaya confirms Met Gala attendance after five years away from fashion’s biggest night

The anticipation intensifies as the big night of the 2024 Met Gala approaches. All eyes are on Zendaya, the multi-talented star of “Euphoria” and fashion icon. After a five-year hiatus from the iconic event, she is ready to make her grand return, and this time, she’s not just attending—she’s co-chairing.

In an exclusive interview with E! News at the premiere of “Challengers” in Los Angeles, Zendaya teased fans with hints of what’s to come on May 6th. “We have some ideas,” she revealed with a smile, indicating that she is working alongside her stylist, Law Roach. “It felt like the right time to try to go back to the Met,” she explained, hinting at the significance of this year’s event.

The Met Gala holds a special place in Zendaya’s heart. Five years ago, she made headlines with her unforgettable Cinderella moment, and now, as she prepares to co-host, she acknowledges the honor it entails. “Obviously, it’s an honor,” she expressed humbly.

Zendaya’s involvement in the gala extends beyond her role as co-chair. She is poised to bring her signature style and creativity to the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”-themed affair. “Law and I, obviously, we’ve been working together for many years, and we’ve been doing themed dressing since ‘Greatest Showman’,” Zendaya shared.

As the 2024 Met Gala countdown begins, anticipation builds for Zendaya’s triumphant return to the fashion world’s biggest stage.

Who are the co-chairs for the 2024 edition of the Met Gala?
