ET spoke with the woman who sold the dress Zendaya wore during her second strut on the carpet.
on Monday, the two-time Emmy Award winner, 27, returned to the carpet later on in the night to show off a second look. While Zendaya 'shad a distinct dark fairy aesthetic, the second ensemble -- a long black gown with a corseted top, a long train and a floral headpiece -- felt more like something out of a Victorian novel.
"We were discussing clothes, showing pieces, having a lovely time at the store, and when he left, I actually had no idea that he'd found what he thought was the right dress for Zendaya," Watnick said of their first encounter with Roach, 45. For the initial fitting, the store owner said,"It was nice, easy, fun, comfortable. She tried on one dress and then we waited about a week or so to find out that that in fact was what she wanted to wear." The dress -- a Givenchy Haute Couture by John Galliano from the spring/summer 1996 collection -- stuck out to Roach, who in turn showed it to Zendaya and saw the vision together.
"I think they're really blazing a very incredible fashion landscape together," she added."They must be very much in consort with one another." While the dress itself held a story in its beauty and stature, the boutique owner took a moment to acknowledge the extra special meaning she found in the choice.and the looks were also informed by the court of Princess Eugenie Napoleon III and based on these really spectacular women at court," she said."I would call it actually a court dress and Zendaya will be holding court as will Law.
