Zendaya attended the Venice Film Festival this week and, naturally, owned it. Forget the usual red carpet drama—her arrival was practically a masterclass in reviving the ‘nude’ fashion trend. Stepping off a boat on Friday (because why not step in?), she revealed a custom Balmain gown that was equal parts daring and divine. Imagine this: a sleeveless tan dress with a scoop neckline, ruched bodice and a skirt that wasn’t just flowy — it was killer. Oh, and the kiln? It reached almost up to her hips, leaving us all wondering if we were about to witness the birth of a new fashion era. Spoiler: we were.
To match her bold gown, Zendaya added pointy Louboutin heels, diamond studs, an emerald ring, and a statement snake necklace that made us question everything we knew about accessories. It was an absolute game-changer. Balmain’s Instagram revealed that the dress was made from leather, which was literally molded to Zendaya’s form — taking precision to a whole new level when it comes to fashion.
But it wasn’t just any old dress – oh no. It was a visual love letter to his much-awaited film Dune, which was also being screened at the festival. Zendaya’s look matched the vibe of her film — futuristic, fiery, and undeniably bold. Her greasy, wet textured hair and smoky eyes sealed the deal. She wasn’t just in Venice; She was giving a statement.
If you thought this was the only fashion flex of the day, think again. Earlier, Zendaya switched gears for the Dune press event, wearing a white Valentino dress with more wow than the entire runway show. With a plunging neckline, wide collar, and thigh-high slit (Zendaya and slits go together like peanut butter and jelly), this look was both delicate and daring. But the matter did not stop here.
Zendaya isn’t new to this; She is true to it. From excitement to iconic red carpet moments, she has taught us how to do fashion right. Who can forget her Spider-Man promotional tour, where she wore a McQueen blazer with spiderweb detailing and a Cavalli gown with spine-like embellishments that paid homage to Dr. Octopus? Talk about a superhero wardrobe.
And then there’s Zendaya’s ongoing love affair with Valentino’s boyfriend Paolo Piccioli. It’s Valentino’s world, and Zendaya is just living in it. From PP Pink’s bold look on the red carpet to becoming the poster child of the brand’s vision, she practically owns this collaboration.
Zendaya’s fashion evolution? No less than fire. From her early Disney days in mismatched prints and cut-out shorts (yes, those photos exist) to her emergence as Hollywood’s fashion queen, it’s been a journey. Now, as the face of Euphoria and a permanent presence at major fashion events, Zendaya is serving up looks as phenomenal as her career. She started from the bottom with her awkward teenage years, and now she’s here, turning heads and setting trends like it’s nobody’s business. And honestly, we’re here for every moment of it.
