Han Myung-GuAnd yet, she gleefully tucked into some potato Smiles at the Burberry activation (which includes a weekend-long shoe and hot water bottle pop-up) dressed in a gabardine trench dress and loafer-heels. “I love the collar on that coat,” she says. “And I have the green version of that Knight bag with a fuzzy tail, which I’m obsessed with.” It was a little more adult AND a little more put-together than the clothes Iris gets associated with on social media: dressing herself in Depop-core. “My fashion has become oriented around layering and comfort, which I balance with the need to express myself so that I can still feel creative. I think it means I’m feeling grounded, settled.” I’m not surprised Iris feels “grounded” given the sheer amount of therapeutic tea she films herself drinking. “And I’m bringing lots of teaware back! The teaware isn’t amazing in England, but I found an amazing salon in Seoul, with amazing craftsmanship,” she says. “We spent hours in Sansuhwa tea. It felt so calm and safe. The owner has been making tea for over 20 years. Just him and his wife. And he’s never sprayed pesticides or fertilizers. It’s super expensive because he only makes 80-90 boxes of green tea a year and it all gets reserved before he’s even finished making it. There’s a real sense of mania about it.”
Below, Iris Law takes us on a tour of her favorite hotspots in Seoul, from nail salons to bookshops and cafés to Burberry’s rose-strewn fantasias. Leant against the corner of a dimly-lit dining room in mutton sleeves and a corseted-pant suit, Zendaya looks as though she is perhaps going to parse a crowd with a smoking revolver spinning around her fingers. Or break into a mediaeval drinking song with a group of buccaneering, but lovable, drunks. But such is the allure of Andreas Kronthaler’s work at Vivienne Westwood: producing clothing that feels rooted in historic dress and yet untethered from a particular era in time. As documented in an Instagram Reel by the actor’s “image architect” Law Roach, Zendaya was not making a tacit audition for some kind of period drama, of course, but posing at a high-ranking restaurant during the most recent edition of Paris Fashion Week. The actor approached the spring 2024 shows as an opportunity to reconnect with the fashion establishment, which, given the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, also meant getting glammed up in lots of covetable clothes. As a global ambassador for the house, Zendaya spent most of the week in Louis Vuitton: a custom, zip-through dress designed by Nicolas Ghesquière and his 2015 gladiator skirt-bandeau top set, and then a puff-sleeved blouse from a 2004 collection designed by Marc Jacobs. But she also wore a polka-dot Balmain dress taken from Olivier Rousteing’s SS24 collection. It tracks, then, that she might have wanted to dial it down a notch (aka wear a jumper) when arriving back in London with Tom Holland.
