Stylist Law Roach Says He's Not Breaking Up With Zendaya

Stylist Law Roach, who describes himself as an "image architect," insists he's not breaking up with Zendaya. Instead, he is standing up for her and making sure she doesn't get attacked on social media due to something he did.

He served as a judge on America's Next Top Model and mentors at cool kids streetwear platform VFiles. Additionally, he collaborates with major stars like Celine Dion and Ariana Grande, among many others.

He’s still her stylist

Last week, stylist Law Roach shared an announcement on Instagram. In it, he announced his retirement from celebrity styling. His fans responded with a variety of responses - from thanking him for his work to asking him to reconsider their decision.

Roach's resignation came as a shock to the fashion industry, leaving many uncertain as to what it meant and why he was leaving his post. However, in an interview with Vogue, Roach revealed some more details about his decision and its origins.

One of the major reasons Roach hasn't retired is his friendship with Zendaya. They've been collaborators for years and still enjoy an incredible chemistry.

Despite all of the drama, Tom and Zendaya have been spending plenty of time together. This week they've been seen out and about in New York City, visiting restaurants and even attending a movie screening together.

Their recent date nights have been super stylish and cute. On Tuesday, they went to dinner at Mamo in lower Manhattan before attending a screening of Tom's film Uncharted the following night.

Tom and Zendaya have been in a relationship since 2017, with Tom getting her first official public kiss at a movie screening of Spider-Man: No Way Home back in 2017.

What truly sets them apart is their undeniable chemistry. Their adorable smooch pictures have gone viral online, with Tom even dubbing Zendaya his "MJ" in an interview back in 2017. But it's their connection that really has everyone talking - which makes them such a sought-after pair.

It was this chemistry that first brought them together on dates. It also inspired their incredibly romantic trip to the Louvre.

Even after almost two years together, they still seem to enjoy every moment. Even while promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home in Paris, they managed to squeeze in some romantic date nights - it looks like they're making the most of every minute!

He’s not a diva

Law Roach is an internationally acclaimed stylist who has styled some of Hollywood's biggest stars, from Zendaya to Celine Dion. He also acts as an image architect, shaping fashion through his innovative vision.

The 44-year-old stylist's career has taken him from Chicago to Paris, where he hosted numerous couture and Haute Couture Week events for both Zendaya and Celine Dion. His newest endeavor is directing Tommy Hilfiger x Zendaya's Paris runway show which will feature 52 models of all shapes and sizes wearing pieces inspired by the brand's '70s era.

Roach, born in Chicago but raised in Harlem and later relocated there, started his career as a vintage broker. His popularity spread so much that he opened two boutiques - Deliciously Vintage Harlem and Deliciously Vintage Chicago - to showcase his products.

He's also a mentor at VFiles, where he's collaborated with young designers such as A-Trak. Additionally, Roach served as an America's Next Top Model judge. No matter if Roach is styling clients for performances or red carpet appearances, he always ensures to highlight Black creativity.

Roach has developed an uncanny knack for bringing out the best in his clients and their styles. He's adept at pulling vintage pieces from designers, leading to some of the biggest looks on red carpets in recent years.

His client list is impressive, boasting names like Zendaya, Celine Dion and Lewis Hamilton. But what he's most proud of is that he has made it a priority to recognize Black creatives throughout his career.

In an exclusive conversation with Insider, Roach discussed his role as image architect and why he's such a big deal in fashion. He also shared some of his favorite moments from his career, along with his opinion on how the industry needs to evolve in order to be more inclusive.

Roach clearly loves Zendaya and wants to ensure her career doesn't suffer in any way. Yet he understands that being her stylist does not equal being her boyfriend; therefore, he may need to take a step back for now.

He’s a diva for the whole seat thing

Zendaya has long been renowned for her daring style, and Law Roach, her stylist, has helped to craft it into one of the world's most coveted young fashion icons. But on Tuesday afternoon, Roach shockingly announced that he would be retiring from styling altogether - something many were not expecting.

Recently, a video of Zendaya pushing her longtime stylist to the back row at a Louis Vuitton show ignited social media debate. The clip was posted by Twitter user @kordeilogy and has amassed over 7.5 million views so far.

The 26-year-old actress, who recently made her debut as a Louis Vuitton ambassador, was seen walking quickly along the runway to reach the front row. She smiled warmly at actor Emma Stone before taking her seat on the row; then Roach followed suit behind her.

Zendaya noticed an empty seat behind her and gestured for Roach to take it. However, the stylist didn't seem to agree and relegated him to the back of the line.

In the video, Roach wears yellow pants and a matching coat while Zendaya dons an identical ensemble. Her hair is pulled back into a side bun, while she sports pink earrings that were likely designed by Roach herself.

They've collaborated for years, creating some of the most iconic looks on red carpets in recent times. They curated Zendaya's Cinderella-inspired light-up Tommy Hilfiger dress at the 2019 Met Gala and helped Celine Dion launch her own style renaissance.

Roach has a longstanding career of styling celebrities, and currently serves as judge on HBO Max's Legendary competition show. Additionally, he has styled other A-list names like Ariana Grande, Tom Holland and Kerry Washington among others.

He's been dubbed an 'image architect' and was instrumental in developing Zendaya into one of the world's most sought-after young fashion icons, as well as providing Celine Dion with streetwear brands that reflected her confidence.

People have since accused Zendaya of forcing Roach out of his job, but the 44-year-old stylist has now broken his silence and is standing up for the seductive diva. He insists that the video wasn't the cause of his shocking announcement but rather just one small part in a larger struggle over their relationship's future.

He’s a diva for not apologizing

Law Roach has been an iconic figure in the fashion industry since its inception. A self-described image architect, he's styled some of the biggest names in fashion. A star on reality TV show "Legendary," Law also showcases his talents with 25 covers for W Magazine and 14 for InStyle magazines.

He's best known for creating Zendaya's iconic tiger-print Tom Ford dress and Tommy Hilfiger clothing line. For years, Roach was one of the most sought-after stylists in town; though that particular garment is no longer being produced, he and Zendaya continue to collaborate on other projects including a men's clothing collection that will launch later this year. The iconic dress serves as an ode to their longstanding association which began when Zendaya was just a kid!
