Updated on 10/3/23:

It’s the end of Paris Fashion Week 2023 and Law Roach may not hold the stylist title anymore, but he’s still working his magic for Zendaya during one of the biggest fashion weeks of the year. Back in March, Roach shockingly announced that he would be retiring from his career as a stylist to the stars, such as Kerry Washington, Celine Dion, and Ariana Grande. Since then, he’s modeled, taken on interviews, and continued to work on projects in the fashion world. He also announced in Zendaya’s Elle September 2023 cover article that his title in her life has changed from stylist to her personal creative director, making it apparent he was never going to leave her hanging. Isn’t she lucky?

Zendaya’s legacy as a fashion “it girl” can be credited to Law Roach. After speculation that his retirement announcement this week was linked to his relationship with Zendaya, he tweeted, “​​She’s my little sister and it’s real love not the fake industry love.” Here is a look at the greatest styling moments by Law Roach for Zendaya and so many other stars.
