Zendaya Just Found a New Way to Wear Corsets
And did it by dipping into seemingly archival Vivienne Westwood — courtesy of her fashion partner in crime, Law Roach.
If there's one thing Zendaya is going to do, it's dip into the archives. Though Paris Fashion Week has just come to an end, officially ending fashion month, every week is fashion week for Zendaya and Law Roach.
In a video posted on Law Roach's Instagram late Monday night, Zendaya is captured posing in a French restaurant wearing a matching two-piece pinstripe suit from Vivienne Westwood. But this isn't your everyday grandfather's pinstripes. The ensemble consists of a corseted bodice and off-the-shoulder long puffed sleeves, completed with matching fitted trousers, a brown belt, and minimal accessories.
Law Roach alludes to the suit being archival, with the caption reading, "Westwood in Paris....Private Collection."
Zendaya has been on quite the fashion run as of late.
She first had a triumphant front row spotting at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week, where she stole the show in a plunging white zipper dress that was an elevated take on the classic white maxi gown. Later that day, she returned to the Bulgari Hotel in Paris with a quick change, paying homage to Naomi Campbell.
She wore an archival Louis Vuitton gold babydoll blouse from the brand's Spring 2004 collection by Marc Jacobs, accessorized with light-wash jeans and strappy white heels. The blouse is famously known for being worn in Campbell's Spring 2004 Louis Vuitton campaign.
Then, a couple of days later, Zendaya was styled in another archival Louis Vuitton outfit, this time from the Resort 2015 collection. It consisted of a one-sleeved top, cold shoulder, leather mini skirt, and over-the-knee high boots. Both the top and skirt were designed with abstract prints that only made the whole ensemble further statement-making.
But the fashion tirade didn't even end there.
Most recently—right before her Vivienne Westwood moment—Zendaya sported a black and white romper with a plunging neckline and floral adornments, a look straight from the Balmain Spring/Summer 2024 runway (an applaudable feat considering she's a current Louis Vuitton ambassador).
Zendaya and Law Roach have long since proved they're a fashion force to be reckoned with, and this impressive parade only adds to their already extensive list of defining looks that have made the fashion history books. No one is doing it like the "King and Queen of archival dressing." The only question is, what can we expect next?
