At the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday, celebrity stylist Law Roach spent his time on the red carpet expertly dodging questions about whether he was being sincere when he previously teased that his trusted client Zendaya had already married her fiancé Tom Holland. The 47-year-old image architect maintained his enigmatic stance, refusing to clarify his earlier comments that sparked widespread speculation.
The Initial Revelation
This entire saga began on March 1 at the 32nd Actor Awards when Roach told Access Hollywood with a smile: 'The wedding has already happened. You missed it...It's very true!' This bold statement immediately set entertainment media abuzz with questions about the status of Zendaya and Holland's relationship.
Oscars Red Carpet Evasion
During the Oscars event, Roach skillfully changed subjects to more mundane topics like the weather and Chanel shoes he had been eyeing. However, Entertainment Tonight did manage to extract one revealing admission from the stylist - that he received 'a lot of calls' after making his initial comments two weeks earlier. When Extra cornered Roach on Sunday about clarifying his prior statements, he simply smiled and declared: 'No, I said what I said.'
Zendaya's Ring Situation
While Zendaya (whose full name is Zendaya Coleman) has yet to officially confirm whether she tied the knot, she has been wearing a simple gold band on her left ring finger instead of the $500,000 Jessica McCormack-designed engagement ring she debuted in January 2025. Interestingly, on Oscar Sunday, she wore both the engagement ring and the gold band when presenting the best director trophy during the ABC/Hulu ceremony.
Adding to the mystery, the two-time Emmy winner joked about having to do a 'last name reveal' as she signed a wedding certificate for a random couple eloping in Las Vegas on Saturday. This was part of a promotion for her upcoming film The Drama, but fans couldn't help but wonder if there was deeper meaning behind her words.
Tom Holland's Perspective
As for the 29-year-old groom, he was spotted leaving the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Friday night with no rings on his hands. The London-born English actor had previously told Men's Health about his future family plans: 'When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore. [It'll just be] golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.'
The Proposal Details
According to TMZ reports from January 2025, Holland had 'got down on one knee' and proposed 'between Christmas 2024 and New Year's Eve' at Zendaya's family home in Oakland, California. Sources described the moment as 'romantic and not over the top,' fitting the couple's relatively private approach to their relationship.
Relationship Timeline
Zendaya and Holland were first rumored to be a couple as far back as 2017 while promoting Spider-Man, but they finally confirmed their romance in 2021 with a long kiss in his $125,000 Audi sports car outside her mother's Silver Lake home. Their relationship has developed alongside their successful acting careers, with both becoming major Hollywood stars.
Upcoming Projects
The in-demand couple will next portray Athena and Telemachus in Christopher Nolan's $250 million-budget, big-screen adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, hitting US and UK theaters on July 17. The film also stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron. Additionally, Zendaya and Holland will reprise their roles as MJ and Peter Parker in Destin Daniel Cretton's superhero sequel Spider-Man: Brand New Day, arriving in theaters on July 31 alongside Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo.
Zendaya's Busy Schedule
Before these major releases, Zendaya stars alongside Robert Pattinson in Kristoffer Borgli's romantic dramedy The Drama, which hits theaters on April 3. She also executive produced and reprised her role as Ruby 'Rue' Bennett in Sam Levinson's eight-episode third season of Euphoria, premiering April 12 on HBO. The drug-fueled drama features an impressive ensemble cast including Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, and the late Eric Dane.
The homeschooled triple-threat concludes her role as rebellious Fremen warrior Chani in Denis Villeneuve's space opera threequel Dune: Part Three, hitting theaters on December 18. Warner Bros. Pictures' adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah also stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, and Florence Pugh. Zendaya has additionally signed on to produce and star as singer Ronnie Spector in Barry Jenkins' biopic Be My Baby, based on Spector's 2022 memoir.
Law Roach's Career Evolution
Roach originally started working with Zendaya when she was just 14 years old in 2011, during her time on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up alongside Bella Thorne. The stylist announced his so-called 'retirement' from styling in 2023 to focus on his favorite clients, including Zendaya, Ariana Grande, and Céline Dion. However, he quickly expanded his client roster to include Ryan Destiny, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, Naomi Campbell, and Jeremy Pope among others.
Roach began his career at the former Deliciously Vintage boutique in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, which controversial rapper-designer Kanye 'Ye' West hyped up back in 2009. His journey from boutique stylist to Hollywood's go-to image architect for A-list celebrities has been remarkable, with his current enigmatic comments about Zendaya's marital status only adding to his reputation for creating buzz and maintaining mystery around his high-profile clients.
