This is what happens when you ask Zendaya, of all people, about her worst fashion looks. She has to enter a time machine and go all the way back to her first press tour for her Disney Channel show Shake It Up in 2012. She Googles “Germany Zendaya” and presents her iPhone to me, showing me a photo of her leaning against a glass railing in Munich, wearing flared pants and a Waldo- esque striped cardigan with an aqua blazer and yellow tee. At the time, she didn’t have a clothing budget. But she did have Law Roach. “I’m angry at him to this day,” Zendaya jokes. “Like, why would you put me in this? Bitch, you could’ve done better!” She laughs. The outfit was among her first collaborations with Roach, her longtime stylist, whom she met through a family friend when she was 14 and Roach was running his Chicago boutique, Deliciously Vintage.
