Celebrity stylist Law Roach isn’t just known for crafting show-stopping red carpet looks, he’s a behind-the-scenes force whose loyalty, vision, and emotional intelligence have reshaped what fashion partnerships can look like.
In a recent episode of the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast, Roach reflected on two of his most iconic collaborators: Zendaya, who elevated his name alongside hers, and Céline Dion, who literally googled him after admiring his work.
A Stylist Who Got Googled by Céline Dion
Before their 2016 fashion renaissance, Dion came across Roach’s work with Zendaya and saw something special. “She liked that [Zendaya’s style] had some sophistication to it, and she liked it, so she Googled me,” Roach recalled in an interview with People. “She sought me out, which is really humbling. I mean, Céline is an icon.”
That simple search led to a full-blown partnership that shook the fashion world. Roach described how Dion leaned into bold fashion moments, showing a new side of herself at a time when many had written her off.
“When I first started working with Céline, it was my mission to show people how cool she was and how she was younger than we all thought,” he told Keke Palmer. “People thought she was 60 already… because we grew up with her our whole lives.”
For Roach, helping Dion step into this next chapter wasn’t just about clothes, it was about joy. “I’m here almost every day and it makes me so happy to see her so happy,” he told People. “If I had a small piece of that with the clothes and the fittings and the shoes and the bags, then I am overjoyed.”
Zendaya: A True Ride-or-Die
Of course, before Dion, there was Zendaya. And she didn’t just work with Roach, she went to bat for him.
“She said, ‘Every step of the way, I’m taking you with me,’” Roach told Palmer. “When she gained control of her career, she made sure she advocated for me in those rooms.”
Roach went on to describe moments where Zendaya turned down massive opportunities if Roach wasn’t included. “When you have someone that’s a partner for you and that’s willing to walk away from millions of dollars to make sure that you get your share… it’s incredible,” he said.
That kind of loyalty is rare, and it’s clear Roach doesn’t take it for granted.
From Retirement to Revival (One Night Only)
In 2023, Roach shocked the fashion world by announcing his retirement. But his sabbatical was short-lived, he returned in early 2024 for one dazzling moment: dressing Céline Dion for the Grammys.
The singer, who had been out of the public eye following her 2022 diagnosis of stiff person syndrome (SPS), made a triumphant return in a pleated blush pink gown, a mustard Valentino coat, and enough diamonds to stop traffic. She presented Album of the Year to Taylor Swift to a roaring standing ovation, and Roach was behind the look.
To mark the occasion, he posted a video on Instagram of a name tag that read: “Hello I am UNRETIRED,” captioning it, “One nite only!!!!!”
What Comes Next?
In 2025, Roach re-entered the scene more selectively, now styling rising star Ryan Destiny. He also hinted that personal friction with a past client, along with burnout, contributed to his original decision to retire.
Still, the stylist remains focused on intention over hype. “I had to create a blueprint and a plan to change people’s perception of who [Céline] was as an artist, as a woman, as a person,” he said. “Not change people, just elevate them.”
Zendaya helped elevate him. Céline trusted him to elevate her. And in turn, Law Roach has transformed what it means to be a stylist—not just a curator of fashion, but an architect of legacy.
