Zendaya, champion of the Met Gala, came dressed to keep her title. The actress and her stylist Law Roach put together the most campy of outfits in accordance to the night's Camp theme. Zendaya stepped out on the carpet, looking exactly like Disney's Cinderella in a Tommy Hilfiger gown. Her hair was blonde and styled just like the Disney princess's. The actress walked the carpet with her own fairy godmother, Law Roach. He waved his wand, and her dress lit up.

The actress arrived at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for the gala wearing a full-length grey dress with puffed sleeves modelled on the blue ballgown worn by Cinderella in the Disney cartoon, accompanied by her stylist Law Roach. At the entrance to the event, Roach waved a smoke-emitting wand and the dress slowly transformed from bottom to top, from a grey colour to a glowing pale blue shade. Tommy Hilfiger described the dress as "an animatronic crystal-grey silk evening gown constructed to enable both visual and physical transformations of the silhouette from understated to dramatic". It said that the outfit "culminated with the gown evolving to the colour blue for its final look". Zendaya posted a series of images on Instagram that showed dress fittings, and gave a glimpse of the wiring and technology hidden beneath the bustle of the gown, which was responsible for the transformation. The accompanying caption drew attention to the behind-the-scenes work: "Underneath the magic. Thank you to all the very very smart people who somehow built and made this dress work." Roach also posted an image on Instagram of the pair arriving at the event. No details have currently been released explaining the technology used to make the colour change possible. It could have worked in a similar way to Intimacy – a collection of dresses by Studio Roosegaarde that change from opaque to transparent, through the use of electrically sensitive foils. According to Vogue magazine, the dress was partly inspired by fashion designer Hussein Chalayan's Spring 2007 collection. The closing look of Chalayan's show was a robotic dress that peeled back its layers, leaving the model naked. Another dress in the tech-inspired futurist show had a skirt made from a series of overlapping panels that mechanically lifted on robotic arms. "We hunted down the people who created the technology used in the Chalayan show and who did all the mechanics to create those garments, then brought them to Tommy to collaborate with us on this," said Roach to Vogue. "It has to be literal enough so that people get it," the stylist said. "When you see Cinderella, you know right away it's her; the baby blue dress and the hair and the French twist it all works together."

The outfit was designed in response to the theme of this year's event and exhibition, Camp: Notes on Fashion. The 2019 show refers to the name of a 1964 essay by American writer Susan Sontag, Notes on Camp.

What we weren't expecting, however, was an epic homage to one of our favourite Disney Princesses: Cinderella. Zendaya is one of those celebs who always werks the red carpet in a chic and understated way. But all that went out the window when she arrived at this year's red pink carpet dressed like a fairytale goddess. Zendaya walked the carpet in a shimmery baby blue Tommy Hilfiger gown complete with a full princess skirt, matching bodice and puffy sleeves: Theo Wargo WireImage Getty Images Honestly, have you ever wanted a dress up costume more in your entire life?? ? Answer: nope. Karwai Tang WireImage Getty Images Believe it or not though, the dress wasn't even the most OTT part of the whole thing. When you look a little closer at her accessories, you can see she's carrying a custom made, bedazzled pumpkin carriage shaped evening bag by Judith Leiber (um, YAS): Theo Wargo Getty Images GLASS SLIPPERS: Angela Weiss AFP Getty Images And, my favourite part, an actual living, breathing fairy godmother to walk along side her and sprinkle fairy dust on her the whole way along the carpet: Gotham Getty Images Actual footage of us right now: Giphy As for Zendaya's beauty sitch, she rocked Cindy's signature up do, complete with a contrasting headband. The look was then finished with a dusting of light blue eyeshadow: Karwai Tang Getty Images This whole thing is just one big nostalgic mood and I, for one, am VERY into it. As far as I'm concerned, Zendaya was the only person to attend the Met Gala this year. Bow down to the new red carpet princess.

One of the most show-stopping moments at the 2019 Met Gala came courtesy of Zendaya, who arrived dressed as Cinderella. Her Tommy Hilfiger gown featured a powder blue tulle overlay, corseted bodice and exaggerated sleeves, as with the beloved Disney original. The singer also wore her hair in a similar style, complete with blue headband and simple black choker. But, elegant dress aside, Zendaya gave us some red carpet magic when she walked the red carpet with her stylist Law Roach, who was dressed as the Fairy Godmother. As Roach waved a magic 'wand', which had smoke streaming out of it, Zendaya's gown began to twinkle in front of the cameras and slowly light up from the bottom.

With a few waves of his wand and a couple wisps of smoke, the actress's gown lit up like a very chic Christmas tree.
