On Saturday night, Zendaya walked the red-carpet at the 54th NAACP Image Awards in California, and she was looking flawless as usual. The Euphoria actress wore two looks during the night, styled by Law Roach, both vintage pieces. The first was Versace couture from 2002, a strapless black gown with an organically shaped bodice that dipped down her torso from the circular bust.
The skirt of the dress featured a thigh high split, a short train, and green satin details that emphasized her hips and long legs. She wore the gown with black pointed toe heels and minimal accessories, just a silver ring and Bulgari statement bracelet.
She had her dark blonde bob blown out in a classic wave, and a natural palette with a slight smokey eye.
While taking the stage to present one of the night’s awards, Zendaya wore an ensemble by Prada from the early nineties. The two-piece consisted of a white bralette cut into a star pattern, and a matching floor-length skirt with a mirroring pattern in the waistband. She had on white heels.
Zendaya shared a brief clip of herself posing in her second look behind-the-scenes, doing a short hallway catwalk, and thanking designer Miuccia Prada.
The Spider-Man star was nominated for two awards, including Entertainer of the Year and Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her role on Euphoria. This was her first appearance on the red carpet in 2023. She last made a major appearance at the Emmys in September 2022, and won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama.
“Thank you for believing in me even in my moments where I didn’t believe in myself,” Zendaya said in her Emmys acceptance speech. “I just want to say, you know, my greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know I’m so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her.”
