ZENDAYA has strutted her stuff in a colorful dress at the Met Gala.
However, fans were split on whether her peacock-inspired outfit flew high or needed to be plucked.
Zendaya wore a custom Margiela by Galliano gown, inspired by a Christian Dior haute couture piece from the spring of 1999.
The strapless dress showed off her cleavage, while a puffy blue sash covered one shoulder, as she walked the green carpet.
The 27-year-old accented the look with a matching beret, complete with a long feather sticking straight up.
The Challengers star’s makeup matched the colors of her dress, and was caked on full on her eyes and lips.
While the outfit certainly met the theme of The Garden of Time, fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, were split in their opinions.
“Oh Zendaya never disappoints,” one person declared.
“Good thing her newest movie is about tennis because she just SERVED,” another boasted.
Others, however, had problems with the outfit.

“Hard pass,” one person tweeted. “She could’ve gone so many different directions.”
“Mmmh, what’s this makeup?” another asked.
MEET THE MET
The theme for the 2024 Gala, The Garden of Time, draws inspiration from the latest exhibition of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
The exhibit is said to feature around 250 rare items drawn from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, spanning the past 400 years of fashion history.
Items and designs from the likes of Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and more are all on display.
Also in use this year is the magic of CGI, AI, and other animations, to help showcase some of the rarest outfits that are simply too fragile to display.
