Zendaya Coleman
BATIKS
Actress, singer, dancer and fashion designer Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman – a.k.a. Zendaya – has had what it takes to make it big in the industry since she was thrust into the limelight at the tender age of 14. Following her initiation, she continued to star in hit TV shows and also landed leading roles in successful movies including ‘The Greatest Showman’ and Marvel’s ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming.’
At 23, she has not only sealed her status as a highly sought after actress but also a style icon and role model, by speaking out against bullying, sexism and racism. Her style, whether on the red carpet or off it, is perfect – and this makes her one of the most fashionable celebrities today.
From tailored suits to elegant dresses, here’s how you can channel your inner Zendaya!
STYLISH CROP TOPS They have been in style for a long time and are flattering for any body type. You can wear a crop top with jeans, shorts, skirts, jackets and so on. This style is trendy particularly because celebs kicked off the year’s red-carpet events with outfits that showcased their toned bodies and washboard abs. Zendaya has managed to pull off this trend effortlessly on multiple occasions in cropped blazers and tuxedo suits, as well as crop top and skirt suits.
THE SAME SHADE Monochromatic dressing is when you wear separates in the same colour or shade. Even though such outfits make for a simple and clean style, there’s an unmistakable degree of sophistication that makes the whole look appear polished and effortless. Zendaya rocked this look when she wore a mint green Sally LaPointe suit in Paris. You too can pull off this style and enhance your appearance by wearing the same shade from head to toe or mixing and matching different shades of the same colour. BUSINESS SUITS Zendaya has been spotted wearing menswear inspired clothes. From polished tweed blazers and contrasting trousers to snake print suits, she wows us with her ‘business chic’ looks. You also can be inspired to dress for business while maintaining the perfect balance between professionalism and style.
WIDE LEG PANTS This 1970s trend has made a comeback over the years and Zendaya is no stranger to it. From brightly-coloured and wide to billowing super-wide leg pants, she has embraced this trend effortlessly. You can pull it off too by pairing wide leg pants with a plain and simple T-shirt, blouse or sweater, or even a knotted crop top. CUTOUT DRESSES If they’re properly styled, these dresses will give you an elegant yet raunchy look. You can sport this trend in more than one way with front, back or side cutouts. The hot pink Ralph & Russo couture gown with a cutout bodice and high slit, which Zendaya wore for the premiere of her movie Spider-Man: Homecoming, is a perfect example of how she makes the most of this style.
