In recent weeks, the internet has taken a break from obsessing over the precise nature of Zendaya’s relationship with Tom Holland to focus on her partner in fashion, instead: the inimitable Law Roach, who announced his retirement from celebrity styling to much chaos in mid-March. Clearly, despite the gossip, the decade-long bond between Z and Law is stronger than ever, with the pair turning up in tandem for the opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai this weekend – dressed in coordinating couture, no less.

Both the Euphoria star and the image architect collaborated with Indian designer Rahul Mishra on their looks for the occasion – and the threesome have a history together. Back in 2020, Zendaya became one of the first global celebrities to walk the red carpet in the craft-focused, sustainable Indian label at the Manhattan event where she formally announced her role as a Bulgari ambassador. For the launch of the NMACC, on the other hand, she appeared in a custom sari-inspired design of midnight blue adorned with stars, a gold bralette peeping out on one side. As for Roach? British Vogue’s West Coast editor gave a sneak peek of his exquisite floral look on Instagram Stories: “The embroidery… this is so special.”
It’s been an exceptional weekend for Mishra, who is famously the first Indian designer to show at Paris Haute Couture Week. Gigi Hadid, too, tapped the skills of the house’s 1,000-plus artisans to create her look for Friday night’s opening NMACC gala, where guests were treated to a performance of Feroz Abbas Khan’s The Great Indian Musical – an account of craft and creativity from the dawn of the universe through to Indian independence. Inspired by Mishra’s vision of a Himalayan spring, Hadid’s trench, bralette and trousers were adorned with embroidery, sequins and beads and required a cool 2,400 hours to make.
