Zendaya's All-White Met Gala Look Could Be A Cheeky Wink At Her Engagement
Zendaya and stylist Law Roach are synonymous with breathtaking red-carpet moments, and the Met Gala has been no exception, with the two repeatedly delivering striking looks at the coveted fashion event year after year.
But after Roach recently said the pair were 'doing their own thing this year' and would be attending 'separately,' it appears the actor still didn't miss a beat even without her longtime creative director at her hip.
On Monday, Zendaya hit the red carpet at the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City donning a chic cream suit and matching hat.
While it's unclear whether Roach styled her outfit, the 'Euphoria' star clearly nailed this year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.'
Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, praised the 'Challengers' actor over her dapper ensemble.
OH ZENDAYA IS TAKING IT ONCE AGAIN OMFG😭😭😭 #MetGalapic.twitter.com/LCini28gN5

Zendaya, who was a co-chair at last year's Met Gala, also attended the glamorous event in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2024.
The seasoned fashionista appeared on the red carpet sans her fiancé, Tom Holland, who has never attended the Met Gala before. Though the two didn't attend together, eagle-eyed fans noticed that she showed up sporting the engagement ring he gave her, making her all-white outfit a possible cheeky nod to her being a bride-to-be.
The Marvel star notably had a heartwarming reason for his absence.
Holland told Men's Health back in January that he avoids walking the red carpet with Zendaya, with the exception of her premieres, 'because it's not my moment, it's her moment, and if we go together, it's about us.'

Drake's New Shirtless Selfie Leads To More BBL Jokes and Tummy Tuck Allegations
Source: Cole Burston / Getty The rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has had two very different effects on their immediate career trajectories. Kendrick dropped a new album in GNX , performed at the Super Bowl, and won five Grammys. But Drake just can't seem to shake an onslaught of criticism that only heightens with each social media post. His latest perceived misstep is a shirtless selfie he posted to Instagram showing off his abs in the mirror. The impromptu selfie covers his face and appears to have been taken near his bar, as a bunch of bottles of whiskey and tequila are shown on his shelves. Other photos in the carousel show him embracing the Texas lifestyle, like jogging on his property, a pair of sneaker-infused cowboy boots, and a rainy shot of his four-wheeler. In his usual move, the caption is some throwaway lyrics, which read, ' I'm wide awake for the nights that separate the type who get to it til they get it right from the type who just …type.' Drake showing off his gym gains is something he's done before, but since the beef reignited, unfounded allegations that he underwent liposuction or a tummy tuck are back making the rounds. Social media comments were hardly in his favor, with one writing, 'The untoned arms, but the super defined abs, Drake. I know what you are.' 'Drake fake abs look like the precut cookie dough squares omg,' another chimed in. Another claimed he could have just locked in for real results, adding, 'Access to the best trainers and healthiest food in the world, but chose to go to a plastic surgeon for fake abs. What a b-tch.' Kendrick even alluded to it on 'Euphoria' when he rapped , 'Let your core audience stomach that, Then tell'em where you get your abs from.' That even launched its side quest during the beef when MetroBoomin released the soulfully sampled 'BBL Drizzy' beat that Rick Ross instigated and created a $10,000 prize for whoever dropped the best freestyle over the beat. In an attempt to switch the narrative, Drake stole the beat for Sexy Redd's 'U My Everything,' reclaiming the nickname because he pays for so many BBL surgeries. Still, the jokes wear on. See how social media is reacting to Drake's latest Instagram post below. Drake's New Shirtless Selfie Leads To More BBL Jokes and Tummy Tuck Allegations was originally published on

Scarlett Johansson Says She Was Offered ‘A Lot' of Roles ‘Revolving' Around ‘Desirability' and ‘The Male Gaze' as a Young Actress: ‘That Is Less Frequent'
Scarlett Johansson is opening up about how roles have changed for women since she joined Hollywood. In a recent interview with The Times of London, Johansson said that when she first entered the industry, the roles she was offered usually centered around 'desirability,' and the goals and needs of her male counterparts. However, she thinks the Hollywood of today is ushering in 'a different time for young women.' More from Variety 'Jurassic World Rebirth' First Reactions Range From a 'Roaring Triumph' to 'Blah': Is It a 'Winner' or a 'String of Forgettable Scenes'? Scarlett Johansson Calls 'Jurassic World Rebirth' a 'Love Letter' to Steven Spielberg: Fans Will 'Feel the DNA of the Original' Scarlett Johansson Asked to Have 'Thunderbolts*' EP Credit Removed, Says Marvel Casts Get 'So Enormous' You Sometimes 'Feel Like a Device' to Move the Plot Along 'The messaging is different — there are many more role models, women are visible in powerful positions and the opportunities I have had to play women who don't have to just be one thing or another have increased,' Johansson said. 'But when I was younger, a lot of the roles I was offered, or I went for, had their ambitions or character arcs revolving around their own desirability, or the male gaze, or a male-centred story. That is less frequent, though — something has shifted.' This isn't the first time Johansson spoke out about her representation in Hollywood. Back in 2022, the 'Avengers' star said she was so 'hypersexualized' by the industry at a young age, that she thought it would be impossible to branch out to different types of roles. 'I kind of became objectified and pigeonholed in this way where I felt like I wasn't getting offers for work for things that I wanted to do,' Johansson said. 'I remember thinking to myself, 'I think people think I'm 40 years old.' It somehow stopped being something that was desirable and something that I was fighting against.'

Scarlett Johansson Says She No Longer Gets Cast For Her 'Desirability Or The Male Gaze': 'Something Has Shifted'
Scarlett Johansson has opened up about her fight to free herself from being labeled as a Hollywood "sex symbol" and getting cast solely because of her physical appearance. During a recent interview, she stated that her breakout role in the movie "Lost in Translation" put her in a box, so that she was solely getting cast for her "desirability." However, that all changed for the actress, as Scarlett Johansson landed roles in a wide variety of movies that showcased her acting capabilities, not just her looks. Johansson is undeniably one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and is currently the highest-grossing actress of all time, with a total box office earnings of $14 billion. However, reaching this point took a while for the Marvel star, who revealed that she had to fight her way out of getting cast only in roles made for the "male gaze." This meant she had to turn down some roles, despite being a young and hungry actress. In a chat with The Sunday Times, Johansson said, "When I was younger, a lot of the roles I was offered, or I went for, had their ambitions or character arcs revolving around their own desirability, or the male gaze, or a male-centred story. That is less frequent, though something has shifted." She then noted that things have changed for the better for young women in the film industry now, partly due to the presence of more positive role models and successful women in top positions. To ensure she didn't get permanently typecast in Hollywood for her "desirability," Johansson revealed that she turned down roles she felt were "deeply unfulfilling" and would instead wait for parts that gave her the chance to prove her abilities as an actress. She noted that doing this came with the fear that she might become "irrelevant" at "any moment." However, for Johansson, playing the long game and being selective of what roles she accepted was key to her success. "I just waited. I had to become comfortable with the idea that it could take some time," Johansson said. "Which is hard when you're a young actor, but at that time I didn't have any children." The actress's patience and determination ultimately paid off, as she now boasts a diverse range of movie roles that showcase her talent and versatility. From the commercially successful movies in which she has appeared, such as "Avengers: Endgame," to critically acclaimed films like "Marriage Story" and "Jojo Rabbit," Johansson has done it all. More recently, Johansson made her directorial debut with the movie "Eleanor The Great," and is set to star in the upcoming blockbuster "Jurassic World Rebirth." In an interview with E! News, Johansson revealed that working on "Jurassic World Rebirth" brought her closer to her co-stars, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend in more ways than one. "One of the best parts of making a movie is the family that you develop while you're shooting," she shared. "We didn't have much time to rehearse on this film," Johansson explained. "So just having the opportunity to spend as much time as we could doing stuff that was enjoyable was important." The on-set conditions made the camaraderie between the movie's cast members even more vital. Filming in Malta under sweltering conditions, with temperatures reaching 103°F and a stifling 90 percent humidity, reportedly tested their endurance. To cope with the extreme climate and encounters with nature, the cast would unwind with group dinners and laughs. "It helps to have some nice memories to look forward to," Johansson said, "to daydream about when you're deep in mangrove water with poisonous snakes." Johansson's love for "Jurassic Park" is so strong that when she learned of a new film in the works, she didn't hesitate to reach out to Steven Spielberg himself to pitch herself. "I had a meeting with him and I don't actually know if he knew the depths of my 'Jurassic' fandom," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "But I'm hoping that no one explained it to him too thoroughly because it maybe would've come off as being a little too much." However, she admitted that Spielberg was thrilled when she expressed what being part of the franchise meant to her. "Although knowing Steven now, he was excited when I shared with him how much it would mean to me to play any part in 'Jurassic.' I could've played it cooler, and maybe I wouldn't have gotten it," she admitted. In her chat with E! News, Johansson shared whether her daughter, Rose, 10, whom she shares with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac, will be allowed to watch the movie. "I've been talking to some other 'Jurassic' fans and they say this is the scariest one," she said, "but I would let my daughter see it." She added: "It's still appropriate for the family. You just gotta watch it through the crack in your fingers." Reflecting on her own experience with the iconic franchise, Johansson recalled: "I was 10 years old in the theater and part of the impression it left on me was the jump scares, the laughs, but the terrors for sure." She noted: "That's part of what's so great about 'Jurassic.' It's thrilling in all ways: visually and also emotionally."
