IT’S TRUE – ZENDAYA WILL ALWAYS BE THAT GIRL

Zendaya's red-carpet looks are as legendary as her on-screen roles.

Now, whether you love it, hate it, or love to hate it, Euphoria’s third instalment begins this week – ushering in a new chapter for Zendaya’s multi-hyphenate wardrobe. Mixing nostalgic nods to her past with a decidedly grown-up elegance, we’re taking this opportunity to celebrate Zendaya’s best looks. And like the years between Euphoria seasons, there are plenty of them.

Zendaya is an award-winning actress, skilled dancer and impeccable dresser – but she’s also one half of Hollywood’s most beloved couple. Having met on the set of Spider-Man, Zendaya and her new husband Tom Holland are rarely photographed together – which makes a joint-outing quite the spectacle. The pair treated onlookers to coordinated outfits on one such occasion, both sporting chic burgundy looks. Zendaya’s leather camisole dress blends a classic silhouette with modern textures and hardware for a daring take on date-night style.

Thanks to her right-hand-man Law Roach, Zendaya has perfected the art of a theme – often shaping entire press runs around her red-carpet looks. She’s also a dab hand at a little cosplay, as demonstrated by this iconic Cher-inspired dress from 2024. Given Zendaya’s star power, it would be criminal not to take one of Cher’s famous ‘fits for a test drive. And we can safely say the work paid off.

We couldn’t look back on Zendaya’s sartorial standouts without mentioning THE Mugler suit. Part of her Dune: Part Two press run, this full silver look from the designer’s AW96 show took Zendaya’s style to atmospheric heights. The moment she stepped out at the film’s Leicester Square premiere, fashion history was made. It’s this bold, future-thinking taste – combined with a sprawling knowledge of the archives – that makes Zendaya’s wardrobe a topic of global interest.

Another memorable moment from Zendaya’s many press tours, this fun feathered co-ord appeared amidst a swathe of tennis-inspired looks for her 2024 movie Challengers. Any eagle-eyed Carrie Bradshaw fans will have caught the reference to a certain bustled skirt from Sex and the City’s third season. And it’s no surprise both legendary looks were pulled from Vivienne Westwood’s 90s collections. Say what you want about this playful two-piece, but it proves Zendaya knows how to have fun with fashion.

Clocks stopped in March when Law Roach revealed Zendaya and Tom Holland had married in secret. We may never forgive her for denying us a peek at the dress, but Zendaya more than made up for it with some bridal-coded looks. This white gown is one such crowd pleaser, pulled once again from the star’s loaded Vivienne Westwood arsenal. Paired with her new pixie cut and dazzling diamond earrings, it’s the best wedding ensemble so far this year (second to the real thing).

Continuing her bridal-chic streak for premieres of The Drama, Zendaya stepped out in this stunning couture feathered dress by Schiaparelli. A vivacious nod to her ‘something blue’, it sent the message that post-nuptial Zendaya is far from settling down when it comes to style.

As Euphoria season three press kicks off in earnest, Zendaya has taken a demurer route down the carpet – marking a sharp contrast to the show’s technicolour chaos and her character Rue’s grungy aesthetic. We’ll always have a soft spot for colour-drench ensembles – especially this season – and with a trending chocolate brown to match her sultry smoky eye and chic cropped hair, this is a look we’ll be referencing for years to come.
