Zendaya is an avid ‘method’ dresser when she’s promoting a movie like The Drama about an engaged couple, so she’s planning to wear ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue’ to each event.
Starting with something old, the 29-year-old former child star re-wore the same custom Vivienne Westwood gown she donned to the 2015 Oscars to the LA premiere held at DGA Theater Complex on Tuesday.
‘This is a dress that I wore when I was 18 years old, to the Oscars actually, my very first Oscars,’ Zendaya (last name Coleman) said.
‘And it was a very important moment for me in my life and my career, but also for my family, my folks. That moment meant a lot to me so this felt like the right time to bring this one out of the archive. And also, it happened to be a wedding dress.’
The two-time Emmy winner wound up getting a lot of publicity – not for the dress, but rather, for her faux dreadlocks, which Fashion Police correspondent Giuliana Rancic said made her look like ‘she smells like patchouli oil or weed.’
Following public outrage and Rancic’s apology, the racially-charged scandal led to the creation of California law’s The CROWN Act in 2019 ensuring protection against discrimination based on race-based hairstyles in the workplace and public schools.

Zendaya’s vintage, off-the-shoulder bridal wear still fit like a glove 11 years later, this time styled with white pumps and dramatic diamond chandelier earrings.
Speaking of wedding bling, the Louis Vuitton brand ambassador was wearing a simple gold band on her left-ring finger beside the $500K Jessica McCormack-designed engagement ring she debuted in January 2025.
Zendaya’s trusted stylist Law Roach told Access Hollywood on March 1 that ‘the wedding already happened’ between her and fiancé Tom Holland.
Hairstylist Ursula Stephen coiffed the biracial beauty’s side-parted hairdo featuring one large cowlick and make-up artist Ernesto Casillas fully contoured her complexion.
Zendaya was joined on the white carpet by Robert Pattinson, who portrays her bookstore clerk character Emma Harwood’s fiancé, a British museum director Charlie Thompson, in The Drama.
And there’s reportedly a big secret twist in the romantic black dramedy, which hits US/UK theaters April 3.
The Oakland native and the 39-year-old Englishman made sure to pose with director Kristoffer Borgli, producer Ari Aster and the rest of their castmates.
