Zendaya channels the royalty of science fiction in Fendi Couture

Zendaya dazzles at the Fendi Haute Couture runway, showcasing an elegant dress and stunning jewelry during Kim Jones’ Parisian fashion show.

Zendaya, having recently debuted a bold and new look at the Schiaparelli runway earlier in the week—where she showcased a sculptural all-black ensemble paired with a fresh and experimental hairstyle—naturally sought another haute couture moment. This time, the beloved Hollywood star made an ultra-chic entrance at the Fendi presentation.

During Kim Jones‘ haute couture runway show for Fendi in Paris, Zendaya stole the spotlight in a dazzling dress created by the Roman fashion house. Collaborating closely with her longtime stylist, Law Roach, she opted for a ribbed burgundy knit dress with an architectural halter neckline and super-long sleeves; that’s avant-garde haute couture for you! Naturally, she completed her look with a stunning diamond necklace and ring.

While at first glance, the Dune actress’s outfit exudes classic glamour, upon closer inspection, its peculiar silhouette and details, coupled with her new angular haircut, give off an elegant science fiction vibe. Some may even interpret it as a stylish homage to Queen Amidala, portrayed by Natalie Portman in Star Wars. Either way, Zendaya’s new look has us enchanted.
