The 2025 Met Gala was packed with jaw-dropping fashion, but one genuine moment between Zendaya and Diana Ross became one of the night’s most talked-about topics. As the legendary Diana Ross made her grand entrance, Zendaya’s reaction, filled with admiration and respect, instantly won over the internet.
How did Zendaya react to Diana Ross at Met Gala 2025?
Diana Ross, the iconic singer, turned heads as she arrived at the 2025 Met Gala in a show-stopping white gown covered in crystals, paired with a voluminous feathered cape. The train, reportedly embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren, drew attention, making other guests naturally pause to let her shine and be paparazzied.
Zendaya, who stunned in a crisp white Louis Vuitton suit and matching wide-brimmed hat, was among those who stepped aside with a gracious smile. The moment showed the Dune star’s genuine reverence for the music legend, leading to virality online.
This year’s Met Gala theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” honored the artistry and influence of Black fashion. It makes Diana Ross’ grand return after around 20 years even more special. She last appeared in 2003 with Tom Ford. Now, her regal ensemble, complete with a headpiece and chandelier earrings, showed timeless elegance. Zendaya, a Met Gala fan-favorite, also embraced the theme flawlessly. She wore a tailored three-piece Louis Vuitton suit, paired with statement rings. All in all, showcasing her signature blend of sophistication and edge.
Apart from these two, one of the fashion industry’s biggest nights also saw every other A-lister. Among them were Rihanna, Diljit Dosanjh, Sabrina Carpenter, Emma Chamberlain, and Shah Rukh Khan. Even Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore, Gigi Hadid, Bad Bunny, Jeremy Allen White, and Suki Waterhouse attended. Furthermore, sports icons like Lewis Hamilton and Simone Biles also made an appearance.
Yet, despite the buzz around so many big names, it was Zendaya’s warm reaction to Diana Ross’ entry that created one of the night’s most talked-about moments.
