How Zendaya went from Disney princess to a fashion icon. Zendaya’s stylist has spoken out about how the actress has become a global fashion star.

Zendaya became a household name when she appeared in Disney’s ‘Shake It Up’, and her stylist Law Roach has revealed how fashion has helped her transition from her days at Disney to a global superstar.

Law told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “Back then, a Disney girl didn’t get respect in the fashion world. I started a campaign of dressing her only in things that other people had worn, because I knew she would end up in the weekly ‘Who Wore It Best’ features… I just knew that she had a place in fashion, so we did whatever it took to get her noticed.”

He continued, “”Fashion helped her transition from a Disney star, to an actress with global box office appeal.”

Roach first met Zendaya when she was 14 and was impressed by her fashion knowledge at such a young age.

“It was incredible for us to have such a comprehensive dialogue about fashion when she was still a kid. Love or hate a look, we appreciate people talking about it, because every single moment has been a fearless choice and a career highlight. It’s so fun to watch her come alive on a red carpet and invoke different characters.”

And with 52 million Instagram followers, Zendaya knows she has a lot of impressionable young fans who look up to her.

Law explained: “Zendaya is such a good role model for young girls because she literally can and will wear anything. She has a responsibility to live and to present herself a certain way, but she has always been respectful of that. A lot of girls her age go for ‘naked’ dresses, but we still haven’t had a provocative moment. She knows who her core fans are – they’re growing up with her.”
