Zendaya has a red-carpet reputation almost iconic enough to rival her award-winning work as an actress. With the help of longtime friend and stylist Law Roach, the star has been storming red carpets, photo calls and front-row seats at fashion weeks for years, looking flawless every time.
Dishing on his latest work for Zendaya’s “Dune: Part Two” press campaign, Roach revealed one of his secrets. Rather than borrowing archival looks like most celebrities, the duo purchases pieces so they’re able to alter things to fit perfectly. “We don’t borrow … we buy,” Roach told Vogue.
Speaking as spectators of Zendaya’s red-carpet reign, fashion this good is worth every penny. Here are 10 of her best looks from the past few months.
Nobody is “Dune” it like her! For the Paris premiere of the sequel to the Timothée Chalamet-led sci-fi franchise, Zendaya selected a golden Louis Vuitton two-piece. At the London premiere, she caused jaws to drop with a ravishing, robotic moment courtesy of archival Mugler. And at a photocall for the Mexico City premiere, the movie star looked like Arrakis’ next top model in draped Torishéju.
Promoting “Dune: Part Two” in Paris, Zendaya enchanted in wraparound Alaïa and looked abs-olutely amazing in a structural brown Bottega Veneta on the red carpet in Mexico City. The star was also fabulously futuristic at the NYC premiere, wearing Stéphane Rolland.
But Zendaya can dress to impress even when she’s not in promo mode. Attending the spring 2024 Fendi show in Paris, Zendaya was a burgundy babe sheathed in a floor-length dress. The Louis Vuitton ambassador also rocked a plunging, deep-gray gown at a dinner party hosted by the fashion house to celebrate this year’s Academy Awards. Rocking another archival couture moment at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, the star stepped out in spring 2020 Jean Paul Gaultier. Finally, the actress looked like a bohemian dream in 2011 Roberto Cavalli at the 2024 Green Carpet Fashion Awards.
