Zendaya had two breathtaking moments at the 2024 Met Gala after her five-year hiatus and served as one of the Celebrity co-chairs of the evening. After fans swooned over her first look and surprising outfit change, they realized Zendaya’s boyfriend, Tom Holland, wasn’t there to join her during fashion’s biggest night. The moment would have been major for the couple since that would have also been Tom’s debut at the Met Gala.

“Whoever said Golf isn’t a contact sport is full of s–t. You can almost see the dimples,” Tom wrote in text over the photo.
