Law Roach says Zendaya's wedding dress was better than AI

What did Law Roach say about Zendaya's AI wedding photos?
Law Roach addressed the viral AI-generated images during a June 29 appearance on Good Morning America, where he was promoting the new season of Project Runway. Speaking with hosts Michael Strahan and Lara Spencer, Roach made clear he did not want to be associated with the fabricated pictures of Zendaya's wedding dress.
"That dress was not good enough," Roach said of the AI version. He quickly added, "Trust me, the dress is better than that." When Spencer asked whether Zendaya's final gown looked anything like the fake photos circulating on social media, Roach answered, "Absolutely not." Roach and the hosts broke into laughter during the segment.
Why did AI wedding photos of Zendaya and Tom Holland go viral?
The AI-generated photos began spreading in March, shortly after Roach appeared to confirm that Zendaya and Holland had privately wed. At the Actor Awards on March 1, he told a reporter, "The wedding has already happened. You missed it!" Rumors intensified when Zendaya was later spotted wearing a gold band alongside her engagement ring.
The fake images appeared to show the couple tying the knot at Italy's Lake Como. In the pictures, Zendaya wore a lace veil and a cream-colored gown with thin straps, a sculpted bodice, and draping around her waist. Many social media users believed the photos were real — a pattern increasingly common as AI tools produce lifelike celebrity content, as explored in our Future Tech & AI Wonders coverage.
Who was fooled by the fake Zendaya wedding images?
Zendaya addressed the confusion on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 17. "Many people have been fooled by them," she said, recounting strangers congratulating her on "gorgeous" wedding photos while she was out in public. She told Kimmel she had to explain, "Babe, they're AI. They're not real."
Holland later told Esquire UK in an interview published June 16 that even his grandmother worried she had missed the wedding after seeing the fabricated images. When the outlet asked whether other family members needed clarification, Holland replied, "No, because they were all there." He declined to share further details, saying, "That's all you'll get on that."
Have Zendaya and Tom Holland confirmed their marriage?
Yes. After months of speculation, Holland confirmed in June that he and Zendaya had tied the knot. Engagement news had broken in January, with reports that Holland proposed between Christmas and New Year's Day at one of the actress's family homes.
Holland told Esquire UK he is "the happiest I have ever been" in his relationship with Zendaya, calling it a "bedrock" that can withstand the pressures of their careers. Official wedding photos have not been released, and Roach's latest comments suggest fans may never see an AI-style preview of the real gown either. For full context, see Yahoo Entertainment's report.
