Legendary stylist Law Roach gave us our fashion lives this past weekend. We counted the award-winning image architect behind the slay of not one, not two, but six epic looks for the NAACP Image Awards and SAG Awards on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Of course, Roach served up head-turning looks with his longtime muse Zendaya, who has been styling since she was 14 years old. But, he didn’t stop there. We saw celebs like Kerry Washinton, Jennifer Hudson, Venus Williams, andHailee Steinfeld strut their stuff all over social media in visuals captured by Roach, himself.

And he was in his bag! We’re talking custom looks conjuring up old Hollywood glam from top designers like Dolce Gabbana, Zuhair Murad, and even a vintage gown straight from Balmain archives. Not to mention, anything Roach styles is elevated — whether it’s a pantsuit or a prom dress — pushes the entire glam team to do the damn thing. Every. Single. Time.
Scroll through to get into all of this fashion magic. Whew!
Stunning! The “Little Fires Everywhere” star ate this look in a striking silhouette that was for the gawds. These glorious glam waves by Larry Sims and deep lip were the perfect accent.
Who knew Williams was a whole fashion model? Roach did and we almost didn’t recognize the tennis phenom! Williams served up superhero vibes in this custom white Dolce Gabbana gown with a peekaboo silver bustier bodysuit (or was it a romper?). Whatever it was, she was epic.
And then, of course, here comes Zendaya. Slay, slay, and more slay! She can do absolutely no wrong with Roach on his A-styling game and this look for the NAACP Image Awards is no exception. She was the epitome of chic elegance in a sparkling haute couture silver mini-dress and coordinating duster. Even the white pump had a certain je ne sais quoi.
