Zendaya's Met Gala style: Her biggest and boldest fashion statements so far

Zendaya has always made a splash when at the annual fashion event The Met Gala held in New York City.

The Oakland, California native has been five times before: in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. 

This year the 27-year-old Spider-Man veteran will be going up the famous Met Museum steps for the first time in five years. 

The Dune actress is set to co-chair the event alongside Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny.

The siren said in late April she finds the Met Gala 'terrifying'. During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, she told the hosts: 'Going up the steps is very daunting, and I haven't been back for maybe four or five years. So this is, like, my first time back at the Met in quite a while.'

This year's Met Gala theme - which will take place on May 6 - is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. 

The dress code will be The Garden of Time, which is said to be inspired by the J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name. 

Vogue has explained the dress code will be about 'fleeting beauty.'
