Zendaya's stylist Law Roach attends Fashion Trust US Awards in FIRST sighting ... trends now
Celebrity stylist Lawrence 'Law' Roach was in great spirits attending the inaugural Fashion Trust US Awards at Goya Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
It was the first public appearance of the 44-year-old 'image architect' since he dramatically announced his retirement one week ago.
Law opted for a grey Gucci maxi-blazer with a sparkly broach over a white collared shirt, black pants, and patent leather high-heeled Louboutin boots.
Roach sits on the board of advisors for Fashion Trust US, a brand new non-profit organization supporting the next generation of designers based in the States.
The Chicago-born tastemaker got involved through Fashion Trust US founder Tania Fares, who works as contributing editor at British Vogue where he's employed as West Coast editor.

While onstage, Law presented FTUS' Graduate Award to NYC-based Ghanaian designer Papa Oppong, who won a grant and professional mentorship from Google.
Earlier that morning, Roach took to Twitter to further explain why he's retiring from celebrity styling a week after initially blaming 'politics, lies, and false narratives.'
Many had speculated the Legendary judge was offended about not getting a front row seat beside his first major client Zendaya at the Louis Vuitton FW/23 presentation in Paris on March 6 - a moment that went viral.
'Please stop it. There was never a problem with a seat,' Law - who boasts 1.4M social media followers - tweeted.
'This s*** is getting out of hand. [It's] just not true. I wish y'all all could experience being late for a fashion show. I retired because I got overwhelmed and that I've never [gotten] a chance to properly grieve 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 story of a Chicago building.
'I just want to be with my nieces and family. [It's] not more than that. Please stop,' the CFDA Stylist Award winner wrote.
'Damn one of the greatest American designers ever just left the house he's been synonymous with and y'all still talking about a seat?'
