Fans don’t have anything to be concerned about, after all. After revealing that he would retire, Law Roach took to Twitter to say that he and Zendaya will remain partners in fashion. “So y’all really think I’m breaking up with Z … we are forever!” he wrote. He also added, “She’s my little sister and it’s real love, not the fake industry love.”
It’s not surprising that Roach would stick with Zendaya despite retiring. The two rose to the ranks in their respective fields, after all. In an interview with The Guardian in 2018, the award-winning stylist shared that he took on the actor when she was still years away from being the A-lister that she is now. “Nobody wanted to dress her when she wasn’t known, so I would put her in things that other people had already worn,” he said, and that’s when “people started to know her name”.

He also told The Hollywood Reporter that brands initially refused to share their pieces with the “Euphoria” star because she did not have enough star power. “[Outside of editorials] she’s never worn Gucci, she’s never worn Chanel,” Roach recalled, so they would collaborate with up-and-coming brands instead. “And she had never worn Valentino until she became the face of Valentino. So, it’s quite incredible that we can build that just using smaller and emergent brands and designers,” she added. Law and Zendaya forever!
