Zendaya never fails to make the red carpet her own and this year’s Academy Awards was no exception. Forgoing the usual floor-length gown you’d expect from the Oscars, the Euphoria and Dune actress instead opted for a white button-down shirt – cropped and silk – paired with a shimmering silver sequin skirt with a long train. Both pieces were by Valentino.
Then, for the Vanity Fair Oscars’ after-party, Zendaya switched tact completely, changing into another show-stopping look, completely different to her first—bar the shirt. This time, the 25-year-old grabbed a purple shirt, layering it underneath a black tailored suit by Sportsmax with a bold leather tie.
The androgynous look features a jacket that cinches at the waist with a subtly sculptural shoulder while the matching trousers are flared at the bottom. Zendaya finished off her outfit with a glittering leaf motif brooch and knuckle-duster rings by Bulgari. She wore her hair pulled back into a sleek side-swept ponytail and wore an exaggerated smokey cat-eye with lip gloss.
The actress has never shied away from a good suit moment: just this month, she wore a hot pink Valentino number at Paris Fashion Week and she’s previously worn suits by Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Alexandre Vauthier in the past.
At this year’s Oscars, Lady Gaga also opted for a tuxedo suit by Ralph Lauren and Wanda Sykes wore a white tuxedo by Sergio Hudson. Never one to shy away from a two-piece, Kristen Stewart wore a black satin shorts suit by Chanel.
Though Zendaya’s boyfriend and Spiderman co-star Tom Holland was nowhere to be seen at either the Oscars or the after-party, her Euphoria co-stars Hunter Schafter and Dominic Fike, as well as Angus Cloud were all there to party the night away alongside her.
