Law Roach is an American fashion stylist. He is famous for dressing, not one, not two, but ten celebrities for the 2021 Met Gala.

Some of them (besides his regular clients like Celine Dion, Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Ariana Grande) were Alton Mason, Kehlani, and Hunter Schafer.

His styling debut was in a Deliciously Vintage boutique when Kanye West walked into the store in 2009. Law began his work as a vintage broker while growing up in Chicago, collecting and curating old items. Law opened Deliciously Vintage Harlem and later Deliciously Vintage Chicago, quickly gaining a following.

Law then moved to Los Angeles, where he established his own clientele, including the A-list celebrities we've mentioned before. He currently stars as a permanent judge on the HBO Max shows Legendary alongside Megan Thee Stallion, Leiomy Maldonado, and Jameela Jamil.

In 2017, Law became the first African American to be featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter's Most Powerful Stylists issue, and in 2021, he was chosen as THR's most powerful stylist. Other honors include nominations for MTV Movie Awards, prominent magazine covers, interviews, and more.

Additionally, he received the 2021 Gem Award for Jewelry Style. Here are 23 of the most iconic looks he's created for his celeb clients:

There is no denying that these stars all try to outdo each other. Well, a little bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone.

But, we have to be honest, this competitiveness enabled us to enjoy these wonderful dresses, and we hope it never stops. We cant wait to see what they'll come up with next.
