Let’s have a look at how ‘Zendaya The Expert’ dresses up for her movies…

Zendaya is the fashion icon of our time and she always hits themes and briefs right on the head. She is constantly going viral for her looks on red carpets, awards, the Met gala but what she always gets right that no one can compare to is method dressing. Her visions come to life and the outfits she wears on press tour to promote her films attracts potential viewers and fans.
As gorgeous and effortlessly glamorous as Zendaya is, she also knows how to have fun with her outfits and fuse together couture with camp. Her press tour look for The Greatest Showman was a hit with fans and although she did not play a butterfly, she managed to capture the essence of the movie with the vibrant and almost costume feel to the dress.

A great outfit not only generates a buzz in the public but it can almost act as a visual trailer for what to expect from the movie.
I had never seen the Challengers trailer (don’t sue me) but once Zendaya’s stunning outfits graced my phone screen, it already offered me a sneak peek into what the movie was about – tennis! Obviously, there is a lot more to the movie than just tennis but you gain an insight and interest into what the film has to offer.
Through tour outfits, we also get to see a different side to our favourite actors and actresses. Zendaya is known for being the epitome of elegance, however, the Challengers press tour has shown Zendaya in cute, sporty but still tasteful attire and she definitely rocked the blonde hair.

Zendaya and her stylist legend Law Roach always have a vision for each outfit and they always execute it perfectly – they represent the film and the characters in fun yet stylish ways. As we see the outfits worn on press tour and premieres, the public get to have fun and enjoy the promotional content of the film before they’ve even seen it.
Yes, an outfit can controversy and you can’t please everyone, but it’s always lovely to see how the cast decide to portray their characters or the film in general with a look.
It can be difficult to dress for a movie sequel after sequel because ideas run out and it gets harder to top the last outfit but Zendaya is an exception as her outfits for each press tour for Spiderman kept getting better and her status as Fashion Goddess is proved time and time again.

Of course, these are only a few of Zendaya’s outfits that showcase her fashion excellence and it is clear that her outfits spark viral views and captivate the eyes of the public, enticing them to watch the movie. I can’t wait for the next movie she stars in and what method dressing we will see next!
