Zendaya Coleman is undeniably an icon of our generation. At only 25 years old, this Emmy award winning actress has achieved more than us mortals could ever dream of in a lifetime.
For the past decade, she’s graced the screen in leading roles including MJ in the Spider-Man franchise, Anne Wheeler in The Greatest Showman and Rue Bennett in Euphoria, and could we ever forget the part that started it all, CeCe from Shake It Up.
WATCH: Zendaya for 2021 BET Awards red carpet
Between her philanthropy and advocacy, is there anything she can’t do? Write a book? Nope she did that in 2013. Design a collection that was showcased as NYFW? Wrong again, Zendaya’s collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger was one of the most highly anticipated runway shows of 2019. Zendaya is a powerhouse with no signs of stopping.
While there are many things that Zendaya will be remembered for over her career, today we’ve chosen to honour her very best fashion moments of all time (which there are a lot of).
Zendaya has undoubtedly slayed every red carpet she’s walked. From the Spider-Man: No Way Home premiere, the Venice Film Festival, Met Gala, Oscars, etc. Name a better duo than Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach. We’ll wait.
So, in no particular order, here are Zendaya’s best fashion moments of all time.
This apocalyptic Rick Owens gown is Zendaya serving sci-fi energy for the Dune red carpet in London, which she stars in alongside Gen Z’s crush Timothée Chalamet. With this Princess Leia fantasy, we’re ready for the end of the world if it looks this good.
At the Dune film premiere in London, Zendaya made a statement in a draping chain camisole, complete with classical antiquity coins, and a contrasting chocolate and cream checked skirt from celebrated British designer Vivienne Westwood.
The gown, crafted in sculpturally structured leather, was specially created for the star by Balmain’s Creative Director Olivier Rousteing. Zendaya completed the all-neutral look with Christian Louboutin pumps.
Since debuting at Paris Couture Week, fashion punters have hoped Zendaya would one day don this plum two-piece. This dress is one of the first designed by Pieter Mulier for Alaia as part of their Winter Spring collection.
Zendaya paid tribute to Beyonce with a dress that bore a striking resemblance to her iconic Crazy in Love frock at the 2021 BET Awards. Her stylist Law Roach dove deep into the Versace archives for this one and it’s safe to say it paid off.
Giving major Lola Bunny energy in this rainbow Moschino two-piece set for the premiere of Space Jam.
Zendaya was a lemon-lime dream in this custom Valentino dress and Jimmy Choo heels at the 2021 Academy Awards.
This Christopher Esber dress was the perfect number to showcase the actress’ sleek silhouette at the 2020 AAA Arts Awards.
Arguably one of her most iconic looks. This hot pink structured crop top and matching maxi skirt from Tom Ford made her a standout at the 25th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards in 2020.
Oozing glamour and sophistication in a custom Miu Miu dress at the GQ Men of The Year Awards in 2019.
The actress won best dressed on the Red Carpet for this cutout Christopher Esber dress at the 2019 E! People’s Choice Awards.
Zendaya was an emerald green dream at the 71st Emmy Awards, stunning in a custom sheer Vera Wang gown.
Arriving at the Spider-Man: Far From Home premiere, which she stars in alongside her beau Tom Holland, the actress wore a sequinned backless gown by Armani Privé with black heels.
No question that she turned heads with this bold butterfly look designed by fashion artist Luly Yang at The Greatest Showman premiere in 2017.
Zendaya heavily leaned into costuming at the 2019 Met Gala, transforming into the princess we all know she is. Her custom animatronic gown was designed by none other than Tommy Hilfiger.
At the 2018 Met Gala, the actress blended fashion with costuming, arriving as Joan of Arc. Her custom metallic Versace gown featured an armoured neck-and-shoulder piece, sparkling chainmail, and spiked belt.
While in Paris, Zendaya attended the Ballon d’Or (a football award ceremony) at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
From the moment she hit the carpet, the actress and model stunned onlookers with this floor-length, black Roberto Cavalli gown that just happens to have a gold spine on the back. Iconic.
Zendaya and her co-star slash beau, Tom Holland, were the definition of ‘couple goals’ at the Spider-Man: No Way Home premiere in London.
Both styled by the flawless Law Roach, Zendaya is giving us what we want in this head-to-toe Alexander McQueen look from its Spring/Summer 2022 collection.
Aptly titled ‘London Skies’, Look 32 has stepped off the runway and onto the red carpet and could not be more perfectly fitting for the occasion.
At the Los Angeles premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Zendaya proved that she’s the inventor of the leg cross on the red carpet.
Wearing a custom Valentino Haute Couture gown, complete with a drop-dead-gorgeous embroidered spider web motif, Zendaya is demonstrating that there’s no better silhouette for her than the plunging neckline high slit combination.
