Afterwards, he explained why he made the decision. As the caption reads: My Cup is empty… Thanks to everyone who has supported me and my career. It is an honour for me to be trusted with someone’s image, and I am truly grateful to each and every one of you. My business would be a lot more fun if it were only about clothes, but unfortunately, it isn’t! My eyes were finally opened by politics, lies, and false narratives! I’m out. You win. In his statement, the stylist did not elaborate on the exact reason for his decision.
After Law Roach Announced His Retirement, A Video Of Him With Zendaya Went Viral
After years of dressing high-profile stars including Zendaya, Shakira, Céline Dion and Jennifer Hudson, celebrity stylist Law Roach says his styling days are over. In an Instagram post shared Tuesday afternoon, Roach announced his retirement. Adding a somewhat shady caption to the photo, the “Legendary” judge showed off a red “Retired” sign. The cup is empty… I want to thank everyone who has supported my career over the years. I am so grateful to everyone who has trusted me with their image, he wrote. Unfortunately, this business is not just about clothes. I would do it forever if it were! Roach was finally stung by the politics, the lies, and the false narratives! It’s over for me … I’m out. His representatives have not responded to The Times’s request for comment Tuesday, and the self-described image architect did not elaborate further on the second part of his post. In light of the fact that Roach styled numerous celebrities for the post-Oscars celebrations on Sunday, his retirement came as a shock to his Hollywood and fashion peers.

A Twitter user has shared a video of Law Roach and his famous client Zendaya on the social media platform. This video, which has received over 7.5 million views, shows Zendaya walking quickly along the Louis Vuitton A/W 2023 runway to reach her seat. In the video, she greets actress Emma Stone and sits next to her. As Law Roach walks behind Zendaya, he eventually reaches Zendaya’s seat. He wore yellow pants and a coat of the same colour. Additionally, he wore his signature glasses. Despite the fact that the front row of the fashion show seemed to be full, Roach seemed confused about where he should sit. Zendaya signals to Law Roach to take the seat right behind the actress. The stylist did not seem to like the option. After not getting a front-row seat at the show, Harper’s Bazaar reported that Roach left before the collection debuted. His relationship with Zendaya has been discussed previously. According to an interview with E! News, It was revealed that Zendaya became close friends with him. Additionally, he revealed that she was the first person he texted after being named to the TIME100 Next list.
Law was really looking around like the whole front row wasn’t occupied

Can ya’ll stop acting like the celebrities stylist usually sits next to the celebrity? The celebrities sit with the other famous celebrities and the fashion designer. People stop. Also- the fashion designers are usually having assigned seats. Zendaya did nothing wrong

I don’t think Zendaya should have to give up her seat but he should definitely have a seat available next to her.
