Zendaya captivated the 2024 Met Gala audience with her enchanting solo appearance. While her partner, Tom Holland, couldn't attend due to prior commitments, his affectionate gesture towards Zendaya's stunning looks is winning hearts on the internet. The Met Gala, a pinnacle event in the fashion world, witnessed Zendaya gracing the red carpet in a mesmerizing peacock-coloured gown by Maison Margiela Artisanal, crafted by John Galliano. The Emmy-winning star, who co-chaired the event, exuded grace and charm with her dramatic blue and green ensemble. Later, she surprised everyone with a swift outfit change into a timeless black dress from Givenchy's spring/summer 1996 couture collection, paired with a floral bouquet headpiece. Met Gala 2024: Zendaya Leaves the Crowd Speechless With a Showstopping Surprise, Unveils Her Second Look in Exquisite Vintage Givenchy Couture.

Despite his absence, her beau Tom Holland showered his admiration for Zendaya's looks on Instagram, sharing images of her Met Gala appearances with three heart-eye emojis. Fans flooded the comments section, praising Holland's supportive gesture and labelling him the "boyfriend of the year." However, Holland's unavoidable absence was due to his upcoming role in a West End production of Romeo and Juliet, where he is set to portray the titular character. Additionally, a recent injury sustained during a golf outing added to his challenges, as he shared a photo of a bruise on his forehead on Instagram, humorously remarking about the intensity of golf. Met Gala 2024: Zendaya Makes a Majestic Return to Fashion's Biggest Night in a Maison Margiela Peacock-Inspired Stunner!.

The couple's relationship blossomed since their initial meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, marking a journey of love amidst their thriving careers in the entertainment industry. The 2024 Met Gala, themed 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' saw a star-studded attendance, including Anna Wintour, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny, and Jennifer Lopez, who served as co-chairs. The theme, in tandem with the Costume Institute's exhibit, showcased historically significant fashion pieces, resonating with the theme of fleeting beauty from JG Ballard's short story, The Garden of Time.
