Anna Sawai sent Zendaya a letter and a gift after their viral twinning moment at the Met Gala earlier this month.
Zendaya's stylist Law Roach revealed that the Oakland actor sent Sawai flowers after they made headlines for wearing similar white suits to the New York event. The thoughtful gesture then inspired Sawai to respond in kind.
'The thing is, she didn't even have to send me flowers, but she did because she just is that kind of person where she's trying to spread kindness, and I thought it was really cool,' Sawai told Elle in an interview published Wednesday, May 28. 'I wrote her a letter and sent her something back because I want to be like that.'
Despite some of the internet discourse seeking to pit the actresses against each other, there appears to have been no hard feelings between the stars or their teams.
Karla Welch, Sawai's stylist, immediately took to Instagram after the Met Gala red carpet to praise Roach's creative vision. She even joked that she and Sawai were paying homage to Zendaya.
Though Roach was initially caught on camera rolling his eyes at the twinning moment, he clarified in a later interview that 'it wasn't any disappointment,' emphasizing that 'they both looked great.'
'People like to make up stories like that because it's a little bit more interesting than people who are getting along,' the ' Shogun ' actor told Elle.
She went on to reveal that although the Met Gala moment was an accident, she does regard Zendaya as one of her style icons.
'I love Zendaya's style so much. I think she's so stylish, so fun on carpets. She always has this amazing theme — if she's promoting a movie, then she's wearing something that's related to that movie,' Sawai said. 'But then in her day-to-day life, I feel like … she's also just a simple gal, and I really just look up to her.'
