Why Lindsay Lohan And Stylist Law Roach Had Beef After The 2019 Met Gala
Amid Law Roach's retirement announcement, fans are reflecting on the stylist's tremendous impact on the fashion world. From Zendaya to Ariana Grande, the self-described "image architect" has styled dozens of high-profile celebrities. When asked about his thoughts on being such a key part of the fashion industry, he said, "It's flattering," per The Guardian, adding "but I do what I do because I love women, and playing a part in making them feel beautiful. When a client gets dressed, there's this new walk, this new persona that she takes on. When I see that, it drives me crazy. It's like my drug."
But being a Hollywood stylist isn't just about dressing actors in glamorous ensembles. The job also inevitably brings its share of drama, sometimes amongst celebrities themselves. In 2019, Lindsay Lohan shared her unfiltered take on Zendaya's Met Gala look. And as the stylist responsible for Zendaya's looks (since she was 14, in fact), Law Roach was dragged into the mess. However, the tale ends with a twist.
Lindsay Lohan slammed Zendaya's Met Gala
In 2019, Law Roach styled Zendaya for the Met Gala. The theme was "Camp: Notes on Fashion." It was a magical moment, as the "Euphoria" star embodied Cinderella in an extravagant blue Tommy Hilfiger gown with puffy sleeves, per Harper's Bazaar. Roach was festive as well, dressed as her fairy godmother. He even held a wand to light up her dress.
While fans applauded the stunning duo, one celebrity wasn't so enthusiastic. Lindsay Lohan noted that Claire Danes had dressed similarly at the 2016 Met Gala. The actor donned a strapless pale blue Zac posen gown that glowed in the dark, per Glamour. According to W Magazine, Lohan took to Instagram to comment on Zendaya's ensemble. She wrote, "@Clairedanes you wore this dress so beautifully, I don't know why someone thinks that they can be more chic. Ever." Then, she added, "Claire Danes did that with @zacposen already." Yet, Law Roach was having none of it. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he was asked for his remarks on Lohan's dig. He brushed it off icily, replying, "I don't know her."
Lindsay Lohan and Law Roach reconciled
When the 2019 Met Gala drama went down, Zendaya was inevitably put in the middle of it all. However, she didn't have hard feelings. She told The Daily Telegraph (via Elle), "I didn't feel hurt by it and it didn't make me sad because I have no idea what that person is going through. Maybe in some strange way, that comment made them feel better that day. People are only negative because negativity is eating away at them."
On the other hand, it doesn't seem like Law Roach is holding any grudges, as he added Lindsay Lohan to his clientele in 2022, per Harper's Bazaar. He gushed about her style, saying, "Lindsay is an icon. It's undeniable." He praised her taste in fashion and remarked that she's very knowledgeable about fashion and clothes, which has made her a joy to work with. On top of that, he even clarified his "I don't know her" moment. Law explained, "That interview where I said I didn't know her. You know, I wasn't lying: I didn't know her. And now I know her! And now I know her enough to know that I really like her."
