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.

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.

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.
