Zendaya’s Met Gala Shoe Style Through The Years: Cinderella Slippers, Louboutins and More
The Emmy Award-winning actress will co-host this year's Met Gala alongside Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny.
While establishing herself as a reputable actress during the last 14 years in the entertainment industry, Zendaya has equally created a name for herself in the fashion realm. She is known for pushing the envelope and bringing unpredictable looks to every occasion. The actress and her long-time stylist Law Roach have set the bar high for red carpet fashion, especially fashion’s favorite night of the year, the annual Met Gala.
After only five appearances at the annual fundraiser, she will be taking on the role as a co-chair at this year’s event alongside Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth. Although her look has not been revealed, her past ensembles have proven she will leave an impression from head to toe. Her past looks have been completed with envious footwear hailing from top labels like Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo.
Here is a look at every shoe Zendaya has worn to the Met Gala.
Classic Black Pumps
To make her debut Met Gala appearance in 2015, Zendaya paired a plunging high-low gown with black Jimmy Choo pumps. The classic heels featured a suede upper that slimmed into a pointed toe. The set was completed with a stiletto heel that stood about 4 inches tall.
Satin Sandals
Accompanying Michael Kors at the 2016 Met Gala, the actress slipped into a pair of gold platforms. The satin sandals peeked through the front of her crystal-embellished gown with an open-toe design. The back of the heels was hidden, but the platform base alone added 2 inches of height.
Sparkling Louboutins
Although her footwear was hidden underneath the voluminous off-the-shoulder gown during the 2017 Met Gala, Zendaya showed off her black Louboutin pumps at the Marc Jacobs afterparty. The pointed-toe heels featured a suede upper embellished with a heart-shaped crystal embellishment along the vamp. A stiletto heel completed the look, adding about 4 inches.
Metallic Platforms
Complementing the “Heavenly Bodies” theme of the Met Gala in 2018, Zendaya paired an armored dress with silver Jimmy Choo sandals. The open-toe heels featured a metallic finish against the leather upper. The thin ankle strap supported the height coming from the platform sole and a stiletto heel that stood 6 inches tall.
Cinderella’s Glass Slipper
Zendaya fittingly completed her Cinderella gown at the 2019 Met Gala with a pair of glass slippers. When the actress intentionally left a shoe on the iconic museum steps, the silhouette was exposed to show the clear PYC upper that slimmed into a pointed toe. The silver footbed brought some color to the set, reflecting off the translucent stiletto heel that stood about 4 inches tall.
