Zendaya in parrot print Dolce & Gabbana at the Met Gala: one of the best?

When I first saw photos of Zendaya, 20, last night I didn’t even recognize her. She’s such a chameleon that she just looked vaguely familiar to me and I couldn’t place her. I think it’s her hair and also this amazing Dolce & Gabbana gown. It’s huge, it’s fascinating and it merges D&G’s signature style, a bold print, with the Kawakubo theme of giant shapes and draped folded fabrics. This is refreshing, it’s delightful and I love it on her.

Hailee Steinfeld, also 20, was in an off the shoulder black Vera Wang get up with military motif bell sleeves and a crazy high peplum. She had little shorts under an open skirt. This is not my taste at all but it’s daring and it does go with the theme. There’s nothing very memorable about it from the front, but I love the photo of her from the side with those crazy high boots. Plus her hair and makeup are great. If you haven’t seen The Edge of Seventeen, with Hailee, Woody Harrelson and Kyra Sedgwick, it’s well worth a rental. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and came away with so much respect for Hailee’s acting. I feel like I get her now.

    I love that dress, the colors are great.

  2. Aiobhan Targaryen says:

    I cannot stand D&G but I have to admit that this is a good look on Zendaya. She and her stylist did a really good job from head to toe.

    • detritus says:

      There is nothing about this look i would change. nothing. the print, the lip, the hair, she looks gorgeous.
      Zendaya is going to be someone to watch style wise, she’s always into something interesting.

  3. Jess says:

    She looks amazing! Definetly the best dressed, imo.

  4. MunichGirl says:

    Wow, she looks great and that dress is just perfect.

  5. QQ says:

    She is goving that southern gothic realness. I LOVE her and her hair and dress separate and together!

    I keep hearing that about the edge of seventeenth but also i cant with Hailee’s weird put upon interviews accent so i havent pursued

    • Nicole says:

      QQ it’s really really good. I watched it because I love Woody Harrelson and I came away impressed.
      It actually restored my faith in her acting. People forget she’s an Oscar nominee.

    • Lynnie says:

      I saw it and personally thought it was eh (the movie that is). Kinda found it cliche and sorta cringy, but when it hits its stride it’s bearable. My biggest gripe with it was that I felt it built up to this point, reached it, and then quickly fell off to reach a happy ending that was just like ??? As if all the previous drama didn’t happen lol.

  6. Erinn says:

    Zendaya looks amazing. I’m not usually a huge fan of her styling – but she looks stunning here.

    I still look at Hailey and only see her as Mattie from True Grit.

  7. Melibea says:

    Zendaya was the best for me, just gorgeous head to toe!

  8. Penfold says:

    Thumbs up for Zendaya! Great hair, dress, and lipstick.

  9. sun says:

    The Edge of Seventeen is so good

  10. Babs says:

    I like both looks. Well done ladies!

  11. Nancy says:

    She is so tiny, but the big hair and dress don’t overwhelm her. Good job. She has some swag going on

  12. teacakes says:

    Rihanna and Zendaya were probably the two best looks from last night – one went full-on with the theme while the other went in the opposite direction (big princess dress) but still came out looking very well suited to it.

  13. Amide says:

    GORGEOUS❤💓

  14. Louise177 says:

    I like both dresses. They look good and kind of on theme but don’t look silly.

    • Esmom says:

      Agreed. I think both ladies look more beautiful than they ever have, honestly.

  15. Miss Kittles says:

    Love Zendaya & her gorgeous dress. She looked beautiful as always but I’m not loving the hair. I just feel like it hides her pretty face. But it does work with this dress & this event

  16. smcollins says:

    Zendaya is such a gorgeous young woman, you could put her in a paper sack and she’d find a way to rock it. Hailey is also beautiful and like this edgier look on her. They’re young and having fun, as they should be.

  17. KatM says:

    Wow, Zendaya’s dress is fantastic. She looks amazing. The colors and print are really cool.

  18. Anitas says:

    What a beautiful young woman, and I love her whole styling.

  19. Lobbit says:

    Gorgeous. Probably my pick for best of show.

  20. Lightpurple says:

    Fantastic, Zendaya!

    Hailee looks good too.

  21. serena says:

    They both rocks!

    Ps. I saw Hailee’s movie and I really liked it! Not your usual teenage comedy.

  22. thaisajs says:

    It’s just not fair to put Hailee in the same post as Zendaya, who looked amaze-balls last night. I loved every part of it, but especially her hair. A+

  23. GingerCrunch says:

    Madonna should take a few pointers from Zendaya. She’s so fresh and current.

  24. Lucy2 says:

    Zendaya for the win. She went big and has the presence to carry it. And I love her hair.
    I don’t love Hailee’s dress but I think she looks good here.

  25. kay says:

    these two have my fave looks.
    zendaya is….perfection. truly. head to toe, this woman is win.
    love hailee’s out fit, but not so keen on her hair and all.

  26. Libra girl says:

    Love her hair!

  27. sendepause says:

    I hope Zendaya uses the picture to pitch a new Disney movie with her being the freaking princess styled exactly like that. Love it so much!

  28. Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

    LOVE THE D&G DRESS – me want!!!! It is def my fave look of the night.

  29. Abbess Tansy says:

    Zendaya looks so beautiful! I love the whole look.

  30. L says:

    Like the hair and makeup on Z but the dress is a meh for me..don’t see what all the fuss is about.

    I do like HS’s overall look..edgy, cool ,and age appropriate.

  31. kimbers says:

    One of hailey’s better looks!!!! She’s def getting better!!!

    Edge of seventeen was good! Buy barely lethal has me bc of the sophie turner kesha line lmao

  32. brincalhona says:

    Zendaya looks jaw-droppingly stunning.

  33. JFresh says:

    Yup, Zendaya won this night.

  34. Naddie says:

    I don’t particularly like Zendaya’s dress print, but she looks so damn good that it doesn’t keep her from being the best look I’ve seen so far. This hair, this face.

  35. kri says:

    Z,,,yasssssssssssssss

  36. Otaku Fairy says:

    Yellow dresses are hard to pull off, but Zendaya nailed it with this one. The print is so beautiful and looks like something you’d expect to see on a pretty kimono.

  37. Erica_V says:

    If Rih hadn’t been such perfection I would’ve given Best Of The Night it to Zendaya. That fabric!!!
