Zendaya is Hollywood’s shining star who has dominated every aspect of industry
FROM movies to TV as well as fashion and beauty, Zendaya is currently one of Hollywood’s leading ladies.
The award-winning actress has so far this year alone, had leading roles in Dune: Part Two and Challengers.
She will also feature in the sci-fi drama, Megalopolis set to be released next week.
At just 27, the actress whose full name is Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman, has won two Emmy Awards, starred in one of the biggest superhero movies and led one of the biggest teen series. And it’s not just on-screen where she is making her mark.
Zendaya is widely regarded as one of this generation’s biggest fashion icons. At Monday’s Met Gala, she stunned in a green-and-blue Maison Margiela corset gown.
Zendaya was also one of the event’s co-chairs alongside Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth.
This is a huge honour as Vogue magazine’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, who oversees the annual fundraising gala, doesn’t enlist the services of just any celebrity for this highly sought-after role.
Zendaya’s fashion game has been improving with each red carpet she walks, including during the London premiere of Dune: Part Two in February.
In the big-screen adaptations of
Frank Herbert’s iconic sci-fi novel, she plays the Fremen desert warrior, Chani.
She had tongues wagging when she nailed the movie’s theme by arriving in a Mugler Autumn/Winter 1995 robot costume.
The fashionista has also been making headlines for her Challengers tennis-themed garments.
Remaining on-trend for the movies’ premieres yet again, she plays Tashi, a tennis player turned coach, who transforms her husband from a mediocre player into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. Her performance has received rave reviews.
And as her star continues to rise, Zendaya appears to be a humble individual, which is evident in her relationship with Tom Holland, another fan-favourite who she met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming.
She also played troubled teenager Rue Bennett, on the hit HBO teen drama series, Euphoria. This role made her the youngest recipient of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, which she won twice.
She broke into the industry at 14 when she made her television debut as Rocky Blue in the Disney Channel sitcom, Shake It Up. And at just 21 years old, Zendaya’s feature film debut came in 2017 in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
As if being a movie and TV star and fashion icon wasn’t enough, Zendaya has also delved into the music industry. She released her eponymous debut album in 2013 and recently hinted that she remains open to the idea of making new music.
