Thank God For Law Roach!

Giana Capialbi '24

If you've ever seen a red carpet outfit worn by Zendaya or Anya Taylor-Joy, you would know how they are constantly pulling out all the stops and are looking top tier. Law Roach styles both of them and so many more, and his work is so well done and I’ve been dying to talk about it. Law grew up in Chicago and started his career as a vintage broker. There, he collected and curated vintage clothing until he eventually moved to New York. He opened Deliciously Vintage Harlem and soon opened another back in Chicago. It soon caught the attention of many people, including Kanye West. He later closed the shop and moved to Los Angeles to become a stylist. He became a big part of Celine Dion’s fashion upgrade in 2016, and is constantly pulling off great looks on all of his clients. Speaking of, I have to talk about Zendaya’s Dune press tour looks because every single one is fantastic. This custom Balmain at the Venice Film Festival? Blew everyone’s mind and was all I could think about for like a week.

She wore my absolute favorite designer, Vivienne Westwood, in London of all places. She and Law are so on point every single time. They are truly one of the best duos and never ever miss. A particular favorite of mine is Hunter Shafer’s Schiaparelli look she wore for Jimmy Fallon, which was styled by Law. TV shows coming back were one of the first big events after COVID and they really did not disappoint. So good.

And I have to say, his design for Anya Taylor-Joy is everything!

I feel like Anya is a true example of elegance and Law matched it perfectly with this custom Dior for the Golden Globes. This dress had a hold on everyone who saw it for weeks. It was truly insane. Once again at the Venice Film Festival, she’s wearing even more Dior (haute couture to be exact), capturing the Barbie look perfectly. Her in Dior is a match I can’t get enough of. I cannot wait to see more looks from her soon. I feel like Law is one of the few Hollywood stylists who really gets his clients and styles them correctly. A lot of people really just don’t fit what they're wearing - personality wise, not size wise. And a lot of red carpet looks are just straight up boring. My theory for this is because 1. their stylists just aren’t connecting with them, and 2. their personalities don’t shine through. Personality, and art and style is what makes fashion fun. Law does a great job of making sure what he puts on his clients is never ever boring and it’s something I really appreciate.
