Anna Sawai Responds to Zendaya’s Sweet Post-Met Gala Gesture
Anna Sawai and Zendaya turned Met Gala comparisons into a moment of mutual respect, kindness, and low-key support.
After their Met Gala outfits sparked online comparisons, 
Anna Sawai and 
Zendaya quietly shut down any drama—by showing support for each other. When the internet tried to pit them against one another, Zendaya sent Sawai flowers. “She didn’t even have to send me flowers, but she did,” Sawai told ELLE UK. “She’s just that kind of person, trying to spread kindness.”
Sawai responded with a handwritten letter and a gift, explaining that Zendaya has always been someone she looks up to. “I love Zendaya’s style so much. She’s so fun on carpets… but also just a simple gal day-to-day,” she said.
The moment mirrored a story Zendaya once told about meeting 
Rihanna, a full-circle exchange that clearly left an impression. “She was very inspired by her. Now she’s doing the same to people like me,” Sawai added. For both stars, it’s less about competition—and more about lifting each other up.
