Zendaya Is Positively Regal in a Fitted Black Gown with Back Cut-Outs

Another day, another Zendaya outfit that cements her status as a rising fashion icon. To a pre-Oscars Laurent party hosted by the house’s designer Anthony Vaccarello, the Euphoria star looked statuesque in a fitted floor-length black gown by the French label with long sleeves, a round neck, a back slit, and strategic back cut-outs, one of spring 2022’s most predominant fashion trends. She paired the dress with classic black Christian Louboutin pumps, brushed silver jewelry, curly hair, and skin that looked beyond glowing. 

Zendaya, in partnership with her longtime stylist Law Roach, is that rare celebrity who always seems to understand not only what to wear but how to wear it. Every time she walks a red carpet, she manages to look like the most stylish, most modern person in the room without ever fully giving herself over to fleeting trends.

 She takes risks with her clothing but also grounds every look with something classic so that her style has developed a staying power that, most likely, won’t feel dated. Her palpable confidence also helps no matter if she’s wearing custom couture or Target, something she elaborated on for InStyle‘s November issue.
