Zendaya and Anna Sawai had an unexpected moment at the 2025 Met Gala when they both arrived wearing strikingly similar white tailored suits. While the fashion coincidence led to online discussions comparing their looks, Zendaya took a kind step to show her support for Sawai.
Both actresses made a statement on the red carpet with their sophisticated ensembles. Zendaya opted for a Louis Vuitton suit featuring flared pants, while Anna Sawai chose a Dior outfit with wide-leg trousers. The similarity in their outfits quickly became a talking point online, with many fans comparing their styles.
However, Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, clarified that there was no negativity surrounding the twinning moment. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Roach explained that he and Anna Sawai’s stylist, Karla Welch, have a friendly relationship. He also revealed a sweet gesture from Zendaya.
I think people thought that there was some type of disappointment on our end. (Sawai’s) stylist Karla Welch and I are very friendly, we’ve known each other for years, and Karla and I talked. Zendaya sent Anna flowers, you know, because it was her first Met.
Roach was also seen in a video shared by Hello Beautiful reacting to Sawai’s arrival with a lighthearted comment, saying, “I am dying ’cause she’s got on Zendaya’s look. I’m so glad we came early.” He later emphasized that both women looked stunning and had different inspirations for their outfits.
Roach further explained that the similar styles were actually tributes to different iconic figures. Anna Sawai’s look was inspired by Yoko Ono, while Zendaya’s outfit paid homage to Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger. He affirmed that both actresses looked beautiful and carried their looks with grace.
Anna Sawai, known for her role in the series Shogun, also addressed the situation on her Instagram account.
I know a lot of people have a lot to say, and trust me, I admire her too. But most importantly, I’m so happy with my look, so please be happy for me too.
Karla Welch, Sawai’s stylist, also shared a supportive message, praising Law Roach’s creativity and humorously suggesting that their outfit could also be seen as an homage to Zendaya.
The thoughtful gesture of sending flowers from Zendaya to Anna Sawai highlights the positive and supportive atmosphere among the stars, turning a potential moment of comparison into a display of kindness and mutual respect in the world of fashion.
The most recent update indicates that both Zendaya and Anna Sawai have moved past the Met Gala moment, with Zendaya continuing her work in upcoming projects and Anna Sawai receiving praise for her role in Shogun.
