Even at the young age of 26, Zendaya is already regarded as a style icon. Before launching into major films like The Greatest Showman and the Spider-Man trilogy and starring in the critically acclaimed HBO series Euphoria, the actress and singer first gained recognition on The Disney Channel. She’s since come into her own as a striking, avant-garde fashion enthusiast.

Even as a child star, Zendaya enjoyed dressing up, but since working with image consultant and stylist Law Roach, fans have become accustomed to seeing her on the red carpet in even more glamorous settings, particularly at prestigious events like the Met Gala and Oscars.

When Zendaya told PEOPLE in 2015, “I really thank Law for helping me become more comfortable in my skin and not care so much,” “At some point in your life — in everybody’s life — you’ve got to realise you’re living for yourself, and you’re not living for the opinions of other people.”
