Law Roach has been styling Zendaya for well over a decade now, and it sounds like he hopes to continue into the afterlife, too.

In a recent appearance on the Fashion Radio podcast, Law talked all about his life and career — and even divulged detailed plans for his own funeral.

While speaking to DJ Fat Tony, 45-year-old Law revealed that he’s been planning his funeral “for years” and has set aside money to make sure it’s exactly as he wants.

“There is a dress code,” he began, stating the obvious. “I want a PR team. I want Mariah to sing, you know. I want Celine Dion to sing... I have the budget set aside to pay them to perform.”

So, along with Celine and Mariah, Law also said he’s briefed Zendaya, his longtime muse, on precisely what she should wear to his funeral — having even gone as far as to give her reference photos.

“I already told Zendaya, you have to have on a sickening black skirt-set,” he said, specifying “a vintage Alexander McQueen for Givenchy with a big hat, with the veil.” “I’ve told her the references — Coretta Scott King at Martin Luther King’s funeral. It’s a thing. I wanna pay for it, and I want it to be long as fuck, like five hours.”

Now, it wasn’t long before fans on X caught word of Law’s plans for Zendaya — and let’s just say, people aren’t exactly surprised.

“this is so dramatic but like i expect nothing less from a diva,” one user wrote in response to a post with more than 100,000 likes.


“he’s a professional honey, he plans in advance,” added another, echoed by someone else who compared Zendaya and Law’s relationship to that of Katniss and Cinna in The Hunger Games.

And while fans were certainly amused by Law’s quotes, the whole thing is ultimately a testament to how much he and Zendaya love working together.

“This is endearing for many reasons but the most important being that they see their relationship as a life long one and I think that is so beautiful,” one person wrote.


“honestly beautiful in a way,” agreed someone else. “fashion being his art form and his final piece being through one of his favorite muses and the one that been w him and gave him a name fr... wow.”
