Year after year, Zendaya fans hold their breaths to wait and see what she wears at the Met Gala. The singer usually steps out in custom gowns, tailored suits, and jaw-dropping beauty looks that people dissect and talk about for weeks after the fashion-focused event. Her shoes haven’t gotten as much attention, even though the “Euphoria” star and her longtime stylist Law Roach have made shoes a focal point and a key component of the looks they put together for her for both the main event and the many after parties and engagements surrounding it.
Since her first appearance on the Met Gala red carpet, Zendaya has been among the best-dressed guests of the night, and her shoes are also worthy of a conversation. From Christian Louboutin to Jimmy Choo platform sandals, take a look at Zendaya’s best Met Gala shoe moments over the years.
