In 2021, Roach celebrated a decade of working with the “Euphoria” star, which made headlines. The duo met while the 44-year-old was shopping for Zendaya’s cousin.
Roach recalled the start of their fashion affair, saying “When she was 14, she didn’t know much about fashion, and we were starting to learn about each other. And I think I had a little bit more say-so in the look.”
The stylist highlighted some of the jaw-dropping looks they pulled off. He stated the hot pink breastplate top and matching skirt from Tom Ford, which the actress wore at the 2020 Critic’s Choice Awards.
He recalled the eye-catching butterfly Moschino dress for “The Greatest Showman” Australian premiere in 2017 and the dramatic cream-draped Vivienne Westwood at the 2015 Oscars.
Roach commented on their years working together. “It doesn’t seem like 10 years at all,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of looks and a lot of moments over this decade and every time seems just as magical as the first.”
He added, “I think the process has become easier, and we know each other like the back of our hands. I’ve been very blessed to be a part of the curation of her style and her fashion identity. We call each other our fashion soulmates. She calls me her fashion godbrother. It’s just such a beautiful, easy thing. There’s a lot of trust.”
