Zendaya has done it again. The Dune 2 star just turned a casual jeans look into an ultra-chic formal one, and, of course, we are taking notes.
If there is one thing that is clear when it comes to Zendaya's recent outfits, it's that she, along with her long-time personal stylist Law Roach, is more than committed to revolutionizing fashion one look at a time. During her press run for Dune 2, the star has not missed a single opportunity to give us a style lesson with each new appearance she makes.
Dune 2's promo trail may now be over, but Z is keeping the style lessons coming during Awards Season. Her latest fashion move? Wearing jeans for Essence's Black Women in Hollywood party ahead of the Oscars 2024.
In case there were any doubts that Y2K was back, the Euphoria star is here to confirm it. To attend the Essence Black Women in Hollywood party on March 7, Zendaya left behind the dresses and skirts to make her jeans the star of her outfit.
Although it was very common to see celebrities wearing jeans on the red carpet during the 2000s, jeans were gradually excluded from the dress code. However, Zendaya's latest look is making us second-guess why we ever excluded jeans from formalwear.
For the event, Zendaya opted for rolled-up loose jeans that exuded carefreeness and coolness. To balance out the casual vibe, the actress sported a pair of pearly white stilettos on her feet.
Are you looking to wear jeans like Zendaya to your next formal function? After analyzing Law Roach and Zendaya's winning formula, we concluded that we can all score an A-list look using a piece as basic as jeans in 2024. The key to turning a casual outfit into a formal one is in choosing the right accessories to balance the outfit.
In Z's case, she opted for a futuristic metallic choker that matched her silver corset from Jean Paul Gaultier's spring-summer 2020 couture collection. In keeping with the Y2K vibes, she also added a chain belt with silver discs hanging down.
To complement her futuristic-inspired outfit, Zendaya also added bracelets in different sizes that gave her 'fit more dynamism, including the same arm cuff she had sported the night before at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards 2024.
