He is so inspiring for black creatives

[@hm2011100]

He’s incredible. A true original. He & Zendaya are operating on a different level, fashion-wise, to everyone else, & his story of overcoming is inspiring as heck.

[@MagFan42]

True originals were designers whose work he is using. What he is doing is not any different from dolls playing

[@luisa3904]

This is so trueee!!!😫🥹♥️ Law is such a role model

[@h3artands0uLL]

This man is so Iconic. I wish Virgil Abloh was still alive so they could collab or even just talk about being Black men designers at the top of their game and what it took to get there. Both of them so Inspiring.

[@t-talk-time3582]

You’re right! It’s not easy to pull together an ornate look that will be viewed by millions globally. What i most appreciate about these events is that it there are so many parts and creative people that somehow come together after working months. Reminder that we are best when we work and respect each team players unique ingredients to make an impressive impact!

[@liljay216]

Original? Everything from the outfit,makeup,hair and especially poses he has Zendaya doing is a rip off America's next top model. If you look up any photo shoots and poses from ANTM you definitely see what I'm talking about. Tyra deserves a lot a credit for these young up and coming starlets fashion sense but off course no one will admit that.

[@matthewona]

History repeats itself with yet another amazing artist and muse collaboration. We had Audrey Hepburn and Givency, Liza Minelli and Halston, Cher and Bob Mackie. Now we have Zendaya and Law Roach

[@MARIOLANZO]

You’re so right. I definitely thought Hepburn & Givenchy.

[@tiabarring]

Fantastic comparisons!

[@kaoutar-1106]

Rihanna & Mel Ottenberg

[@barbraseville8984]

Those were designers and garment makers. That's not what Law does.

[@simoling]

Law Roach is one of those rare stylists where they get the credit they deserve and are not just a forgotten background character. They are brilliant and I look forward to their collaborations with Zendaya for years to come.

[@helohalo3106]

The most, if not the only, intelligent stylist today, and I dare say ever.

[@KryCaNe]

You need to watch him on Legendary. Law Roach gives good theatre.

[@tiagomazzotti9640]

He took "styling" to a whole new stratosphere! He re-defined the business and its importance. Well done Roach!

[@denarendall]

100%! And that’s why he deserves the respect of the title “image architect” rather than just “stylist”.

[@dysmissme7343]

He brought publicity to it

[@NS-xt5wv]

I’ve worked with Law, he’s a client of mine. I can’t emphasize enough how intelligent, kind and supportive he is. I totally understand why he got himself burnout in the industry, because he’s a rare gem of authenticity. He’s just a decent human being yet he’s incredibly knowledgeable and talented, unlike so so so many other stylists and fashion personas.

[@hm2011100]

That’s lovely & yes, all us who appreciate him can see it. How he gives all of himself, sometimes to those who don’t understand or appreciate it

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

Wow!

[@SpeciesUnknown]

Yeah ok

[@b.k8051]

he's so real. hard not to feel proud of him. what he has done with Celine Dion is extraordinary

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

Incredible

[@tw4943]

He's a fashion ICON and every majors designer knows who he is. He's definitely AList

[@KCNwokoye]

Authentic and talented. Says a lot about Zendaya's character as well.

[@KryCaNe]

André Leon Talley said the same thing about his own grandmother.

[@marinakaye8284]

Yeah! Was thinking about him, too.

[@roarkwaswright]

I immediately thought of that part from The Chiffon Trenches

[@moniquegarcia9523]

He needs a booooook!!! I would definitely buy!!

[@hm2011100]

He’s got a book deal & is working on it!

[@user-qe6xt4yg2f]

Law Roach is gorgeous himself. Stunning. So understandable that he creates amazing work.

[@shakiraalleyne4086]

He’s a legend

[@AprilMartinChartrandMS]

Law is operating at a Stratospheric ZEITGEIST Level in life. One is born with the innate draw and latent the feeds into the dominant flavor while his embodiment of self is Stratospheric. The gift that he has, the talent he has, the eye and creative embodiment... just can't be taught... is just is innate creative process. This is so wonderful to see a human thrive and yet, have the spirit embodiment of mind, body, and take care of spirit.. and do it to safe their ability to continue. Wow..Thank you for showing ALL humans what unique and outlier talent looks like..

[@hitgirl3472]

Its giving green with envy yasss 👏

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

I love the things they come up with together. He's also been putting Celine in some beautiful looks as well❤❤❤

[@specialkdm900]

I have absolutely loved everything he’s done with Zendaya and the way he put those “tennis” looks together….just perfection. ❤❤❤

[@whoknowsbettytoo]

Law Roach & Zendaya are such an iconic duo! Loved Zendaya's Met Gala looks ❤️ can't wait to see more from them x

[@gregap8282]

I will always love Law Roach. The first time I saw him was on ANTM and then on Legendary. He's so fun and funny. Hopefully I'll be able to meet him.

[@herauthenticself7749]

[@joysharma5705]

[@mincedtofu]

Mama, kudos for sharing. For spilling.

[@emaaustin1620]

❤❤❤❤❤Law Roach is brilliant and beautiful himself & he turns every fabric he touches into something glamorous….

[@lranieri1]

Thank you Law for shining a light on the toxic American, hustle until you die work culture! We need to take care of ourselves and our health first, and stop sacrificing things on the alter of money and power! Bravo!!

[@Miles-ud6rh]

I will definitely be watching. Law always reminds me can do or be anything.

[@LeeLee-ux8gh]

The Architect 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mudd8109]

Adore him. He never misses.

[@blairjr2570]

She looked beyond heavenly.

[@ashleypollack4197]

Work. Phenomenal. Extraordinary ❤🎉

[@ChanelStar1]

*Legend.*

[@deemogul2105]

So amazing!

[@nelsonjr16]

Law is amazing. And he's very entertaining to watch in that show Legendary. Y'all should watch his critiques.

[@denarendall]

The best in the game, no doubt about it. Nobody comes close to Law! His come up story is amazing, and he and Z make the most perfect and iconic pair ever!

[@l_on186]

Amazing!

[@ellleethereal]

Law is LEGENDARY!

[@Rose-cp7wv]

Legend! Iconic styles!

[@winterlongmire501]

[@bamedipate2905]

He’s so fabulous

[@dancingonmy0wn]

omg he is sooooo cool. just how!!! it is just green but he looks AMAZING AF

[@SomaGirlie]

Law is everything! ❤

[@artieoms]

The epitome of style, so humble, so creative and talented. Everything you want to see from an industry leader. Zendaya was 14, I was 16. ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@jl4073]

Love me some Law Roach the Master!!!!

[@puchi1388]

I’ve never really been into fashion, just a quick glance, acknowledgment and moving on until 22 Oscars. I it was so beautiful and it solidified to me how amazing Zendaya and Roach are together

[@leonardofabbri7930]

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought he was Andre 3000 in Hey Ya.

[@marinakaye8284]

Black Eyed Peas! lol

[@elinstar6034]

He's on point about how we don't feel we're doing anything till we're half dead - no wonder it took him 7 months!

[@neville2308]

He’s so inspiring

[@conquerorofbabylon]

He’s very talented.

[@RIOFACETV]

What an ICON 📌✨ Love

[@gracealfaro3791]

What a vision he has!!

[@TheNesilla]

He (or she ?) is such a legend and so young! A true inspiration!

[@randybermudez3677]

this man right here his style is 🔥

[@RubmaLione]

Legend!!!!!

[@MagFan42]

Hahahahaha yeah we are at the bottom

[@Naija_mimo]

The inspiration for the look law mentioned is not enough duh

[@madgemackles4337]

Oh to be styled by roach would be a dream

[@ohn5522]

Law❤

[@carmenbertios6586]

My two favorites were Zendaya and Jlo❤

[@user-lg2ov9hq3n]

Its beautiful but what was the theme grass, sand , mountain, trees , ocean ; so where is black fits

[@hm2011100]

The black allowed the bouquet headpiece to shine. And the vintage Galliano was in keeping with the exhibit theme of ‘Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion’ - the only reason the Met didn’t make that the gala theme was guests keep screwing it up lol so they went for a softball option 😅

[@joyceeasmon636]

Such a talent! Congratulations law, been a fan since your were on America's Top Model, back in the day.🎉 And your relationship with Zendaya is simply beautiful. Keep up the great work? 👍

[@sp8813]

Man, Tiffany is regretting not having his back now i bet

[@yallgonlearntoday]

Love him. An inspiration for young boys everywhere.

[@KevenJobin-cc1gy]

Law.R didn’t retired from styling last year? Loll

[@flowerpower32]

Yes but not for Zendaya

[@edithputhie2much]

Roaches keep coming back

[@HeatherHotcakes]

Just noticing that Law changed his outfits to match Zendaya's two dresses.

[@martijnkeisers5900]

All credit should go to the designer first...

[@neville2308]

Which he gave

[@Naija_mimo]

It's giving dark side of the garden......

[@whereart]

🤍💎✨

[@TheKonnoisseur11]

Is that Madea??

[@mrblf652]

He didn't create the clothes, the designers did.

[@Hannah-0qlkb]

He's not like most stylists. I know he and Zendaya are great friends. But sometimes it feels like she's sharing the spotlight with him. Just my honest observation.

[@mr.tawakal]

How long before Law proclaims, “I made Zendaya!”?

[@jesuismilliardaire43]

Everything is fine until He starts appearing with them, that's a bit irritating. I mean it's fine if you are making the looks but stay behind the camera dude! Same goes for all the designers including versace,jacobs,hilfigers etc.

[@jesuismilliardaire43]

@Vuyrfv96745 if sketching is an art then tomorrow somebody will say snatching is an Art too. Let us not overrate anyone please. As I said he is what he is, just no need to come on camera. He should stay behind the camera.

[@jesuismilliardaire43]

@Vuyrfv96745 thanks 😊 🙏🏻 Jesus loves you too

[@jesuismilliardaire43]

@Vuyrfv96745 jesus loves you too

[@thelastromeo4848]

I don't get it he's so overatted I dunno I think they are creating a monster

[@edithputhie2much]

I’m so over the roach. He’s so obnoxious

[@edithputhie2much]

@Vuyrfv96745 it’s disgust, not jealousy. You would know

[@kevinguzman9642]

@Vuyrfv96745ur knees are dirty, clean them. Also get Raid.

[@neville2308]

You’re the only one soooo

[@traceycosley4709]

Beautiful interview, from where I'm at I'll stand by Law Roach,🫶 the journey seems amazing..💯
