Law Roach out!
Celebrity stylist best known for headline-making ensembles and his work with stars such as Zendaya, Kerry Washington, Megan Thee Stallion, Celine Dion, Hunter Schafer, Lindsay Lohan, Priyanka Chopra, and more – announced in a dramatic IG post Tuesday that he’s bowed out.
“My Cup is empty….” the self-proclaimed image architect wrote.
“thank you to everyone who’ve supported me and my career over the years. Every person that trusted me with their image, I’m so grateful for you all.”
“If this business was just about the clothes, I would do it for the rest of my life, but unfortunately it’s not!” Law Roach added.
“The politics, the lies, and false narratives finally got me! You win … I’m out.”

And while Law Roach did not elaborate on what he meant by “lies” and “false narratives,” people on social media claim that a video from the recent Louis Vuitton fashion show has something to do with the 44-year-old’s retirement decision.
In the clip, Zendaya – dressed in a jaw-dropping tiger-printed look from the brand – was seen nabbing the last front-row seat, leaving Law Roach to find space for himself in the second row. Law seemingly appears perturbed by the entire situation.

Celebrities, fashion designers, and fellow stylists immediately flooded his page, begging the “most in-demand stylist in Hollywood” to take back his statement or claim he was just pulling an early April Fools.
“Law, I won’t let you!!!! We don’t quit…strived to hard,” Naomi Campbell wrote.
Tika Sumpter took a more understanding approach, writing, “Sending you so many hugs. This business is exhausting. Whatever you do, know that your artistry is appreciated, and we love you.”
Designer Christian Siriano simply wrote, “Absolutely not!”
Niecy Nash went all in, “We all come or go on our OWN terms. If you’re done because you want your next role, blessings to you…. If you’re having a “moment,” keep your main character energy! Either way: you got this! 💪🏽”
Karla Welch, one of the few celebrity stylists in Law Roach’s league just said, “no!”
Fans also chimed in with many sad about his abrupt decision. Here’s what they said:

He’s definitely mad about the seating arrangement at the LV show. People on TikTok were analysing the situation, saying that Zendaya won’t be wearing any of the looks….well….at least not anytime soon. You could tell he was upset by that and for a very good reason. They… https://t.co/HaSBnNszxp

We hate to see Law Roach go. The red carpet won’t be the same without his show-stopping ensembles. But we do wish him all the best!
