Meet Law Roach, Zendaya’s celebrity stylist who just attended the 2026 Met Gala solo
The model, who has been a judge on shows like America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway, has courted controversy over working with Annie Leibovitz
In addition to his stunning Ami ensemble, which artist Naïla Opiangah painted on, Roach also made headlines for debuting an eye-catching sparkler on his ring finger at the event. Although he revealed it was a gift, he did not confirm that it was an engagement ring.
So, what do we know about Law Roach?
What’s his background?
Roach grew up in Southside Chicago with four younger siblings. His mother suffered from alcohol and substance use disorder and abandoned him when he was a teenager, he told The Cut.
“We grew up with the old-school notion of: you go to school, you get an education, you get a job, and you have a career,” he recalled in an interview with Teen Vogue, adding, “Fashion wasn’t one of those things [where] you can automatically know that you can survive and create a livelihood off of it.”
Nevertheless, it was the women in his family who inspired his love for fashion, he revealed during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything).
