THIS ISN’T THE first time Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach have collaborated on intentional thematic dressing for her press tours that pay homage and to the film she is promoting while still exuding her personal style. For her new movie “The Drama” in which she and co-star Robert Pattinson play an engaged couple whose wedding plans are turned upside down by something her character reveals a week before they are scheduled to go down the aisle. It doesn’t hurt that her engagement to Tom Holland and a band that she has been wearing on her left finger has sparked speculation that the real-life couple is married, adding another dimension to the theme. It leaves us to wonder whether it was supposed to add to the method dressing or if they are truly married?
For the film premieres she turns the red carpet into looks that included “something borrowed, something new, something old and something blue.”
Her first stop on her international tour was the Hollywood premiere in which she wore “something old” — a Vivienne Westwood gown that she had worn to the 2015 Academy awards. She wore this with a stunning set of Chopard diamond earrings.

Her “something new” was a custom Louis Vuitton gown she wore to the Paris premiere with diamond jewelry.

And then in Rome, “something borrowed” was a custom Armani Privé gown lent to her by Cate Blanchett, which Blanchett wore on two different occasions, and in which Zendaya looked utterly elegant — complemented by Louis Vuitton earrings.

The final premiere on the tour was in New York City where she pulled out all the stops in “something blue.” She shined in an vibrant blue Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, which was elevated even more with a suite of earrings and rings in platinum and un-enhanced sapphire and diamond jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

For her film “Challengers,” which I had previously written about, Zendaya’s character Tashi Duncan is a tennis prodigy who becomes a coach after a career-ending injury. The story also includes a steamy love triangle.
Every outfit that Zendayaya wore on that press tour, though they came from a range of designers, related to tennis in some way. Although she kept her jewelry minimal for that tour, it revolved around elevated diamond necklaces and bracelets and stacks of diamond rings created by Bulgari, for whom she was an ambassador at the time.

One of Zendaya’s earlier nods was during a photo call in London for “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” part of the Spider-Man trilogy in which she plays MJ to her then-boyfriend, now-fiancee Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spiderman. For this she wore Jacob & Co. Diamond Spiderweb earrings.
“The Drama” has been getting mixed reviews, but one thing is for certain — Zendaya’s red-carpet moments are all five stars.
