She's in her bridal era.
The newly engaged 'Dune: Part Two' star, 28, stunned fans Monday night when she arrived at the 2025 Met Gala in a white silk three-piece Pharrell-designed Louis Vuitton suit — complete with a dramatic wide-brimmed hat and her eye-popping 5.02-carat diamond engagement ring from Tom Holland.
While her head-turning look was very much on theme for this year's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' dress code, fashionistas quickly clocked a second reference: Bianca Jagger's iconic 1971 wedding suit worn when she married Mick Jagger.

Styled by Law Roach, Zendaya's bridal-chic ensemble featured bell-bottom pants with a crisp crease, a tailored blazer with silver snake detailing on the back, a white button-down top beneath it, a matching vest, a white tie and a face-framing wide-brim hat — a near replica of Bianca's Saint Laurent set.
And though Roach, 46, didn't join Zendaya on the carpet — a first in years — the stylist made it clear he was behind the bridal callback, posting side-by-sides of Bianca and Zendaya on his Instagram story with no caption necessary.
Fans were quick to make the same connection — and lose their minds.

'Zendaya's look reminds me so much of bianca jagger and her iconic white suits,' one user raved on X (formerly Twitter).
Another echoed the sentiment: 'ZENDAYA!!! very reminiscent of bianca jagger's 70s suits and tailored to perfection.'

It was also speculated that Zendaya's designer look was a 1940s zoot suit reference — a style worn mainly by Black men back in the day.

The outfit hit all the right notes for the Met's theme, which honored 'Black dandyism' — a movement where sharply dressed Black men have long used fashion as a form of power, protest and self-expression.
Drawing from Monica L. Miller's 2009 book 'Slaves to Fashion,' the exhibit paid tribute to stylish icons like André 3000, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams and the late André Leon Talley.
