Career

For the 2021 Met Gala, Roach had the opportunity to style 10 celebrities, including Alton Mason, Kehlani, and Hunter Schafer.

He starred as a permanent judge on the HBO Max show Legendary with Megan Thee Stallion, Keke Palmer, Leiomy Maldonado, and Jameela Jamil.

As a stylist, some of his well-known clients are Celine Dion, Zendaya, Tom Holland[citation needed], Kerry Washington[citation needed], Anya Taylor-Joy, Ariana Grande, and Megan Thee Stallion. In 2016, Roach was announced as one of the judges for cycle 23 of America's Next Top Model, with Ashley Graham, Rita Ora and Drew Elliott. The following year, he partnered with Celine Dion to style her for Couture Week in Paris, and he became the first African-American stylist to cover the annual The Hollywood Reporter's issue of Stylist & Stars. Dion and Zendaya joined Roach for the cover.

He received the 2021 Gem Award for Jewelry Style. He received the inaugural stylist award for American Fashion at the 2022 CFDA Awards in New York.

Roach announced his retirement from styling via Instagram in March 14, 2023, stating that "if this business was just about clothes I would do it for the rest of my life but unfortunately it's not! The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me! You win...I'm out."(sic) However, Roach later clarified that he still was working with Zendaya by stating "So y'all really think I'm breaking up with Z...we are forever!" and "She's my little sister and it's real love not the fake industry love."(sic) Roach later stated that it was best for him to "walk away from the industry for a while to just, you know, you work on my mental, my mental health and my physical health."

In his March 17, 2023 interview with The Cut, Roach cited burnout and a desire to live a happier life as reasons for his retirement. Roach discussed the challenges he faces in the industry, including "false narratives perpetuated by gatekeepers and intermediaries." He expressed frustration at the loss of clients due to these aforementioned narratives, which "are often untrue." Roach additionally emphasized his love for fashion and his commitment to protecting his clients, but expressed a desire to be better taken care of in return. He also mentioned that another one of his reasons for retirement was because he "got overwhelmed and never got a chance to properly grieve a great loss," which he refers to as the death of his nephew.
