The actress' fourth Met Gala appearance was inspired by Joan of Arc, and it commanded attention.

She wore a silver chainmail Atelier Versace dress that featured stylish armor-like details throughout. Her look was paired with a cropped red wavy bob and blunt bangs.

"I dreamt of Joan of Arc one night and called Versace and was like, 'What if we did something to reference Joan of Arc?,'" Zendaya's longtime fashion collaborator Law Roach told WWD at the time.

Theme: Camp: Notes on Fashion

Zendaya's mesmerizing 2019 dress was one of her most standout to date.

She wore a powder blue Cinderella-inspired gown that included a corseted bodice top, a billowing tulle overly bottom and puffy sleeves. One of the best elements of the dress was that it was designed to light up.

When Roach, who accompanied her and wore a correlating tuxedo look, waved his wand, Zendaya's dress lit up and absolutely wowed onlookers.

Theme: Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion
