What happens inside the Met…
I audibly gasped when Zendaya returned to the Met Gala stairs for round two after changing out of her first peacock look into an archival Givenchy gown and Alexander McQueen floral bouquet headpiece. And while that mid-carpet costume change was certainly surprising, the actress swapped looks yet again—though no one knew about the secret third dress until the photos from inside the event hit the internet.
After heading inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art for her co-chair duties (alongside fellow hosts Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth), Zendaya slipped into a simpler look—I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to maneuver through the exhibition with the massive train on look number two—that could have doubled as a wedding dress. The custom ivory (Or really, really light blush? The lighting makes it hard to tell) Celia Kritharioti piece featured a super-deep plunging neckline and intricate white and crystal beading with tiny floral appliqués that flowed down the skirt.

Zendaya kept her hair in the low bun that we saw under her two hats on the carpet, and she kept her glam from the second look: light purple inner-corner eyeshadow and bleached brows. Accessories included diamond drop earrings and a matching ring.
Earlier in the night, Zendaya wore the aforementioned blue-and-green striped gown with a feathered fascinator and a bold glam look that included Josephine Baker-style eyebrows and maroon eyeshadow on both her lids and under her eyes. Then came the 1997 archival Givenchy gown and 2007 Alexandre McQueen headpiece.
At the end of the night, Zendaya slipped into a gray silk halter dress with a bedazzled chain embellishment for the Loewe after-party.
