Kim Kardashian has added Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach to her fashion team, raising questions about whether she has parted ways with Dani Levi. Here’s what both Kardashian and Roach have revealed about the new partnership.

Kim Kardashian is entering another fashion era, and this time, she has enlisted one of Hollywood’s most influential image-makers. The SKIMS founder has officially started working with Law Roach, the celebrity stylist best known for transforming Zendaya into a global fashion icon.

The collaboration was confirmed in September 2026, when Roach dressed Kardashian for the opening celebration of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. But the news has prompted an obvious question: What happened to Kardashian’s longtime stylist, Dani Levi?

Despite speculation that Kardashian has replaced Levi, the reality appears more nuanced. Kardashian has previously explained that she works with multiple stylists, including Levi, Soki Mak, and David Friend.

And Roach himself has acknowledged that other stylists may have their own interpretations of Kardashian’s personal style. 

Law Roach Confirms Kim Kardashian Is His New Client

The fashion partnership became public on September 19, 2026, when Kardashian attended the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opening celebration wearing an archival Yves Saint Laurent gown from Tom Ford’s Fall/Winter 2004 collection.

The black-and-gold floral design featured intricate embellishments and a glamorous silhouette, making it a fitting introduction to Roach’s approach to dressing the reality star.

Roach subsequently shared the look on social media with a short announcement: “New client 💕.” The post confirmed that Kardashian had joined his celebrity styling roster, which includes some of the most recognizable names in entertainment. 

The collaboration is particularly interesting because Kardashian and Zendaya have distinctly different fashion identities. Zendaya is celebrated for experimental red-carpet fashion, archival designer pieces, and carefully coordinated looks that often reference her film projects. 

Kardashian, meanwhile, has developed a recognizable aesthetic built around body-conscious silhouettes, vintage couture and high-impact designer fashion.

With Roach involved, Kardashian could explore another side of her personal style without abandoning the aesthetic that has become her signature.

What Law Roach Said About Working With Kim Kardashian

Roach offered insight into his new client during the InStyle Imagemaker Awards on October 16, 2026. Speaking to PEOPLE, the stylist described Kardashian as someone who understands her own fashion preferences but remains open to collaboration: “She knows what she wants, but she also lets you create.”

He also described their collaboration as “really, really, really fun.”

Roach explained that each stylist brings a different perspective to a celebrity’s image. His comments suggest that he is interested in developing his own interpretation of Kardashian rather than simply recreating looks from her previous fashion eras.

He acknowledged that another stylist might see Kardashian differently, describing that creative individuality as part of fashion's appeal. 

Is Kim Kardashian Still Working With Dani Levi?

The short answer is yes, at least according to Kardashian’s own comments earlier this year. In a 2026 interview with Complex, Kardashian directly addressed her relationship with Levi, who has helped shape some of her most memorable fashion moments: “I still collaborate with Dani [Levi] sometimes.”

She explained that working with several stylists allows her to manage her increasingly demanding schedule, which includes television productions, fashion campaigns, public appearances, and business commitments.

Rather than depending exclusively on one stylist, Kardashian has adopted a more flexible approach.

There has been no confirmed announcement that Kardashian has fired Dani Levi; however, Kardashian's comments do suggest that Levi is no longer necessarily responsible for all her daily outfits and major appearances. In the same interview, she identified David Friend as her new daily stylist. 

Is Law Roach Still Zendaya’s Stylist?

Yes. Roach's collaboration with Kardashian does not mean he has stopped styling Zendaya. Roach and Zendaya have worked together since the actress's early career, creating a fashion partnership that has become one of Hollywood's most recognizable.

Their work has included elaborate couture, vintage runway pieces, and carefully planned promotional wardrobes. Although Roach announced his retirement from traditional celebrity styling in 2023, he has continued to work on selected projects and with prominent clients.

The biggest question now is how Roach will influence Kardashian's next fashion chapter.
