Career & style
From Disney television to Euphoria and Dune, Zendaya has moved between dance, music, intimate drama and large-scale cinema. She began with modeling and performance work before playing Rocky Blue in Shake It Up. Her portrayal of Rue in Euphoria brought Emmy recognition, while the Spider-Man films and Dune introduced her to different cinema audiences.
Her fashion story is also a story of collaboration. Working with Law Roach, she has used public appearances to construct distinct images rather than repeat a single look. The CFDA named her its Fashion Icon in 2021. Read her event photographs alongside the occasion: silhouette, pose and styling can extend a screen project without becoming the same thing as a character costume.
