Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach attends Fashion Trust US Awards in FIRST sighting since retirement news

Celebrity stylist Lawrence ‘Law’ Roach was in high spirits attending the opening of the Fashion Trust US Awards at Goya Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

It was the 44-year-old ‘image architect”s first public appearance since he dramatically announced his retirement a week ago.

Law opted for a gray Gucci maxi-blazer with a sparkly brooch over a white collared shirt, black pants and patent leather high-heeled Louboutin boots.

Roach is on the board of advisors for Fashion Trust US, a new non-profit organization supporting the next generation of US-based designers.

The Chicago-born tastemaker became involved through Fashion Trust US founder Tania Fares, who works as a contributing editor at British Vogue, where she works as a West Coast editor.

While on stage, Law presented the FTUS Graduate Award to New York-based Ghanaian designer Papa Oppong, who won a fellowship and professional mentorship from Google.

Earlier that morning, Roach took to Twitter to further explain why he is retiring from the celebrity look a week after initially blaming “politics, lies and false narratives.”

Many had speculated that the Legendary judge was offended by not getting a front row seat alongside his first major client, Zendaya, at the Louis Vuitton FW/23 presentation in Paris on March 6, a moment that went viral. .

‘Please, stop. There was never a problem with a seat’, Law, who has 1.4 million followers on social media, tweeted.

‘This shit is getting out of hand. [It’s] it’s just not true. I wish they could experience being late to a fashion show. I withdrew because I was overwhelmed and that I never [gotten] a chance to properly mourn a great loss.

Roach was referring to his three-year-old nephew, Lamar Roach Jr., who died in 2021 after falling out of a window on the 17th floor of a Chicago building.

‘I just want to be with my nieces and my family. [It’s] no more than that. Please stop’, CFDA Stylist Award winner wrote.

‘Damn, one of America’s greatest designers just left the house he’s been synonymous with and they’re still talking about a seat?’
