The Tamesis
Cast your mind back to the summer of 2019, a pre-COVID era when we were all obsessed with Euphoria The first season follows the high school career of the main character Rue, played by the slovenly Zendaya, who wears basketball shorts and has messy hair. Seven years on, her movie-star trajectory is complete: The Disney tween has gone from drug-addicted teen angst to dune The diva—whose wardrobe evolves as much as her career.
With the help of Law Roach, Zendaya has become one of the best-dressed young talents of her generation. From space-age Louis Vuitton miniskirts to former creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s signature Valentino pink, trophy retro styles to classic Mugler fembot suits, she’s done it all. All of which makes her latest look look almost…traditional? Maybe she’s embracing a new aesthetic (she’s reportedly newlywed) (Zendaya and her longtime partner Tom Holland have privately married, Loach told reporters at the Screen Actors Guild Awards).
Appear in jimmy kimmel live! This week, the newlyweds got totally into the spirit of spring in a floral McQueen dress that felt more like an English rose than edgy. Most recently, Zendaya opted for bridal white (to appease fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of her wedding look?) and swapped out her Italian bob for a bixie cut. The actor made a surprise appearance on stage at the Oscars on Sunday night wearing a chic yet understated brown Louis Vuitton gown. Florals—that seasonal cliché we all know and love—suggest that she may be taking a break from fashion curveballs.
