Zendaya made a bold fashion statement during a recent appearance in New York. The actor attended an afterparty on April 2 following the premiere of her latest film, The Drama. The event took place at the well-known The Waverly Inn, where she drew attention with a fresh and daring look.
A Sheer Gown Takes Centre Stage
For the evening, Zendaya chose a navy gown designed by Di Petsa. The outfit featured a sheer upper section with unique asymmetrical details and delicate tassels. The halterneck design and open back added to the bold style, while the flowing fabric gave the dress a soft and elegant feel.
She paired the gown with navy heels and jewellery set with diamonds and sapphires, completing a polished yet eye-catching appearance.
Fashion Trend Continues to Shine
Zendaya’s look reflects a growing trend in fashion that focuses on sheer and lightweight materials. Over the past year, many well-known figures have embraced similar styles.
Notable appearances include Margot Robbie in a jewel-inspired custom look, Dakota Johnson and Demi Moore in lace outfits, and Lily Allen in a bold statement dress. Designers continue to experiment with fabrics such as mesh, lace, and organza to create light and modern styles.
Beauty Look Draws Attention
Zendaya’s hairstyle and makeup also stood out. She styled her hair into a short bob with a glossy finish. Her makeup featured soft tones, highlighted by bright blue eyeshadow, warm bronze cheeks, and a glossy lip.

Before the afterparty, Zendaya appeared on the red carpet in a dramatic gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection. The black dress featured a structured shape with feather details and bold blue accents. Designers crafted the gown using fine materials and spent thousands of hours completing it.
