Renowned celebrity stylist Law Roach is taking a step back from the fashion industry. On March 14, the self-proclaimed "image architect" shared news of his retirement on Instagram. "My Cup is empty," he 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." The announcement comes following a busy awards season, during which he dressed the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Kerry Washington, and, most famously, Zendaya.

Roach, who's currently a judge on HBO Max's "Legendary," alluded to the "politics" of fashion as a reason for the seemingly sudden decision. "If this business was just about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately it's not!" he continued. "The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me! You win . . . I'm out."

While the beloved stylist has racked up quite the star-studded client roster, he's best known for his 10-year partnership with Zendaya. Since the start of their collaboration when she was only 14 years old, Roach has styled the "Euphoria" actor in her most recognizable looks to date, including her Cinderella-inspired Tommy Hilfiger gown at the 2019 Met Gala, the Balmain "wet dress" she wore at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, and countless other homages to style icons and pop culture. Throughout his career, he's also fostered relationships with celebrities like Hunter Schafer, Ariana Grande, and Priyanka Chopra.

"You come in knowing your value and you do a good job, and you're kind to people," Roach previously told POPSUGAR. "It's passion. When you're passionate, it outshines everything else."

His announcement elicited upset responses from fans and industry veterans, who praised the stylist's lasting impact on fashion and asked for him to reconsider his decision. "Law I won't let you !!!! We don't quit .. strived [too] hard," Naomi Campbell wrote, while British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful commented, "You will always have a home @britishvogue." Fellow stylists Karla Welch and Maeve Reilly also chimed in, both simply writing, "No."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
