Zendaya Sports Iconic Look From Sex And The City Movie On The Red Carpet
We couldn’t help but wonder… was Zendaya feeling the Carrie Bradshaw fantasy during her most recent red carpet appearance?
On Thursday evening, the Euphoria star was among the A-list guests at Essence magazine’s Black Women In Hollywood Awards, making her way into the event in a short white dress with an enormous flower dress.
And if you’re a Sex And The City fan, you might just recognise the red carpet look, as it was first worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the opening scenes of the TV show’s first spin-off movie in the late 2000s.
Zendaya’s long-time publicist Law Roach confirmed that the homage was intentional in an Instagram post he shared shortly after the ceremony.
“And just like that… I found it!” the RuPaul’s Drag Race regular enthused, praising his client for sporting one of “the most iconic dresses in movie history”.
US broadcaster HBO – who helped bring Sex And The City to the masses in the 1990s – also commented on the post, writing: “And just like that, you found the perfect dress.”
Earlier this week, Zendaya certainly made a big impression when she put in an appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
Premiering a new short hairstyle and wearing a belted white dress, many of us were more concerned with the sight of Zendaya’s left hand, which appeared to be sporting a thin gold band, following rumours that she and her long-term partner Tom Holland recently tied the knot in private.
Asked about Zendaya and Tom’s nuptials on a red carpet last week, Law appeared to let the cat out of the bag when he quipped to reporters: “The wedding has already happened. You missed it!”
The Emmy winner’s mum Claire Stoermer then fuelled the speculation even further when she reshared Law’s comments in a cryptic post of her own.
