Top 10 Unforgettable Zendaya Red Carpet Looks

Zendaya rocked this navy blue number at the 27th annual GLAAD Media Awards. The awards show honors films, TV shows and other forms of entertainment that accurately represent the LGBT community. From the diamonds in her ears to the Jimmy Choo sandals on her feet Zendaya looked stunning from head to toe. The centerpiece of the outfit is undoubtedly the gem-encrusted top, which catches the lights of the camera flashes perfectly! While this is definitely one of the tamer outfits the actress has worn to an event, she still managed to make it look incredible!

At the 2015 Academy Awards, Zendaya took a page out of old Hollywood’s playbook and absolutely slayed the red carpet in this beautiful off-the-shoulder silk gown. Displaying the grace and poise of a seasoned vet despite still being in her late teens, Zendaya’s confident look turned more than a few heads on Hollywood’s biggest night. None other than fashion icon Vivienne Westwood designed the gown and Zendaya chose to accessorize with a set of pearl earrings and simple yet effective pink clutch. Zendaya’s dreadlocks perfectly juxtaposed with the formality of the gown giving her a unique, yet well-rounded look.

We absolutely love this outfit! The chocolate-colored dress comes complete with a rounded bottom that actually makes Zendaya look like a dollop of ice cream…but somehow, sweeter? Designed by August Getty, this dress is definitely one of the most unique looks Zendaya has ever rocked and she pulled it off like few of her peers could. The dress was complimented with a set of large, rounded earrings and a pair of matching high heels. We only have one question: how did she sit in that thing?

Zendaya may have been at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards as a presenter, but her outfit screams, “give me all the awards!” The exposed-midriff look hasn’t been popular for some time now, but Zendaya appears to have brought it back from the dead, with a little help from this eye-catching peach colored getup. With her hair straight, her body tight and her eyes shooting daggers into the lenses of every camera pointed in her direction, Zendaya absolutely killed it on this event’s (admittedly) not-so-red carpet. Seriously, who do we have to pay to look this good?

In “The Greatest Showman,” Zendaya plays acrobat Anne Wheeler; and for the film’s world premiere in New York she was appropriately walking high above everyone else in this breathtaking gown! Designed by Viktor & Rolf, the gown appears to be a homage to the outfit worn by Hugh Jackman’s character in the film, the legendary P.T. Barnum. Be that as it may, Zendaya plays second fiddle to no one in this incredible outfit. The black and red-tiered design, combined with a sleek black bob, suits her perfectly. This was not the only time she shined at a “Greatest Showman” premiere…but more on that later.

Zendaya cut a striking figure at the Los Angeles premiere for the 2017 superhero flick “Spider-Man: Homecoming”. Designed by Ralph & Russo, this hot pink number must have had people craning their necks for a better look thanks to its high slit and flowing fabric. Zendaya looks absolutely ravishing. The gown is well suited to her features, and is complimented perfectly with a pair of matching high heels. Zendaya brings an air of effortless grace to every red carpet she walks, and this one is no exception.

Remember what we said about Zendaya not missing a Met Gala since 2015? Well she showed up to the 2018 event dressed head to toe in a Joan of Arc inspired outfit that completely stole the show! The theme of that year’s gala was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. As such, Zendaya’s decision to wear a metallic armor-like dress straight out of 15th century France was perfectly in keeping with the gala’s imposed aesthetic. No stranger to switching up her hairstyle to suit an event, Zendaya chose to rock an apricot bob that, for some reason, just works! Seriously who else would have the guts to pull off an outfit like this?

To say that Zendaya was the center of attention at the Australian premiere of “The Greatest Showman” would be an understatement.
