There is no question as to who created Zendaya’s most recent outfit for Paris Fashion Week.
At the Valentino spring/summer 2023 show on Sunday, the “Euphoria” actress sat front row wearing nothing but the Valentino emblem. She wore a shimmering black blazer, shorts, and a translucent bodysuit with the company’s recognisable “V” insignia encrusted with jewels.
The Emmy-winning performer chose a straightforward ring and a pair of chandelier earrings for her jewellery. She completed the look by applying a swipe of brick red lipstick and wearing her hair straight with a smooth side part.
At the performance, Zendaya sat next to Naomi Campbell and Law Roach, her go-to stylist. At the occasion, she was seen socialising with Florence Pugh, Dove Cameron, and Ashley Park, who played Emily in “Emily in Paris.”
According to Nylon, the actress and singer joined Valentino’s global brand ambassador programme in December 2020. The ballgown she wore on September 12 when she won an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama is one of the label’s best-dressed moments.
In an interview with Vogue before the ceremony, Roach revealed that the dress was influenced by Linda Evangelista’s 1987 Valentino outfit as well as Grace Kelly’s 1950s style. Her Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli had a strapless gown built especially for her, with a peplum bodice and a voluminous skirt.
The actress also went to the fashion house’s fall/winter 2022 fashion show in March, where she attracted comparisons to Barbie due to her all-pink ensemble from the “Pink PP” collection of Valentino.
