Law Roach to style Ariana Grande for ‘Wicked: For Good’ press tour: Rewind to his most iconic fashion moments

Celebrity stylist Law Roach might just be taking on one of the biggest challenges in the world of celebrity styling. Law, whose real name is Lawrence Roach, will be styling Ariana Grande for the upcoming Wicked: For Good press tour. Last year, the Wicked Part 1 tour highlighted method dressing at its best. Both Ariana, who plays Glinda, and Cynthia Erivo, who played Elphaba, wore a myriad of custom looks inspired by their roles.

Method dressing is described as the art of using fashion to visually embody and promote a character, film, album, or other narratives. Some examples include Margot Robbie for the Barbie press tour, styled by Andrew Mukamal. Others are the cast of Wednesday during their press tour, Zendaya for the Dune tour (also styled by Roach), and many more.

And now Law Roach will be styling the One Last Time singer for the upcoming Wicked Part 2. But this is not the first time he has styled the singer, as last year he had also curated some iconic looks for Ariana. Law Roach is known for styling celebrities like Céline Dion, Anya Taylor-Joy, and of course, the Euphoria actress.

Best looks styled by Law Roach

Here is a breakdown of some of the most iconic looks the Legendary competitive show judge has styled over the years.

Zendaya at the 2018 Met Gala

Often cited as one of the most memorable Met Galas of all time, the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination” themed gala saw Zendaya dressed like the glam reincarnation of Joan of Arc. The look that Law curated was a vampy Versace sequined ensemble with staggering platforms.

Zendaya at the 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards

At the 25th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, Ms. Z wore a magenta pink co-ord set comprising a metallic breastplate by Tom Ford. The look gained wide attention and helped spark a trend of celebs wearing different types of metal corsets and tops, with brands creating their own versions. From Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt to Kim Kardashian, plenty of stars over the years have adorned the armour-esque look.

Hunter Schafer at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar party

At the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Zendaya’s Euphoria co-star Hunter Schafer was given quite a controversial look by Lawrence. The actress wore a straight-off-the-runway Ann Demeulemeester outfit, which included a long white satin skirt and just a matching white feather as a top, which generated widespread online debate.

Anya Taylor-Joy at the Emma Press tour

Anya Taylor-Joy gained significant attention during her Emma press tour, and part of the reason was her stunning styling. One look that especially stood out was the white embellished gown the actress wore at the premiere, paired with a layered collar-style necklace by Mateo. The gown was a vintage Bob Mackie wedding dress that Law Roach had sourced. The look was said to be inspired by legendary actress Audrey Hepburn’s appearance in My Fair Lady.

Celine Dion at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards

Law Roach has often spoken about how much his relationship with the iconic Celine Dion has changed his life, and something he appreciated about the singer was her flair and love for fashion. Because of this, the “Image Architect” dressed her in quite a few avant-garde looks, including her 2017 Billboard Music Awards outfit, which she wore to perform on stage. Dion wore a Stephane Rolland gown with voluminous sleeves and gold detailing at the end of its plunging neckline.

Zendaya at the Dune Press Tour

This method dressing look stood out among his most notable works. For the Dune Part 2 world premiere, Law Roach scoured the archives to find the perfect look for Zendaya. Law turned the actress, who played the character of Chani, into an actual fembot, perfect for the futuristic genre of the film.

Zendaya was dressed in Thierry Mugler’s AW95 Couture collection at the London premiere of the film. The outfit featured metallic plating that looked like bionic parts and see-through plastic-like panels to show her “humanness,” and became one of the most talked-about looks from the premiere.

Ariana Grande at the 2018 Met Gala

Law Roach delivered another standout moment at the 2018 Met Gala, as he had also styled Ariana Grande in one of the most notable looks of the event. The pop star wore a custom Vera Wang gown adorned with paintings inspired by Renaissance art. The look was topped with a giant tulle bow on Grande’s head.

Ariana Grande at the 62nd Grammy Awards

Remembered as one of her best Grammy looks of all time, the singer caught everyone’s attention at the 62nd Grammy Awards. She was dressed in a voluminous gray ball gown, with layers of tulle that nearly enveloped her. He paired her look with gray gloves, diamond jewelry, and a classier version of her signature high ponytail.

This year, just days before the announcement, Law Roach also styled Ariana for the VMAs. The Nickelodeon alum’s red carpet look was a custom polka dot column dress by Fendi with a bustier neckline and a flouncy blush peplum detail. According to the press release, it was “inspired by a dress worn by Silvia Venturini in the 1980s.”

And just like that, we can’t wait to see what more Law Roach will bring to the character of Glinda with his flair for styling. His track record suggests the upcoming press tour will be nothing short of unforgettable.
