For all of her major events, Zendaya has long worked with stylist Law Roach, whoofficially retired from stylinglast year but still works with the actress. He told PEOPLE in September that he could"never" pick a favorite lookof hers because they’re all just so good.

“I can’t say I have a favorite because they all mean so much,” said Roach, 46, at the Christian Cowan show on Sept. 8. “We’ve been together for over a decade, and we’ve just done so many looks.”

“There are some ones that are super special, but it’s like calling out your favorite child. You should never do that,” he further explained.

Roach also told PEOPLE that dressing all comes down to “confidence” rather than what exactly you’re wearing.

“You can wear anything you want no matter your size, age, anything. It’s all about confidence,” he said.

She did a quick change before the event started, switching intoanother Galliano look, this one crafted in 1996 while the designer was with Givenchy. This dress was a black off-the-shoulder corset gown with dramatic train, which she paired with a massive floral headpiece, nodding to the Garden of Time dress code.
