Having acted as her image
architect for the last ten years, the fruits of their labor were
officially recognized and celebrated by the
CFDA, having granted Zendaya
the Fashion Icon Award this year. As the youngest recipient in the
council’s history, the star donned a striking red Vera Wang
ensemble stating, “Fashion did something special for me. It gave me
the extraordinary gift of transformation, the ability to become and
embody all of these different characters and be literally anyone I
wanted to be. Thankfully, when I was 14 I found my co-director of
sorts. One who saw what I did and sometimes, more than I ever could
have imagined on my own- that being Law Roach. My fashion soulmate,
historian, and constant inspiration, thank you for pushing me to
see all of myself and teaching me how to do so fearlessly. Every
time we get dressed, we treat it like a film. We bring to life a
new protagonist, one with their own narrative, their own backstory,
their own personality, so that the shy little girl in me can live
out all the things I dream through them.”
With evocative style moments
throughout theDuneandSpider-Man: No Way
Homepress junkets,
certain looks left an indelible mark, sending the internet into a
frenzy. With her archival
Versace tribute to Beyoncé for the the BET Awards, or with her
Loewe dress so fresh off the runway, many theorized it was still
warm from the model, Zendaya has been a hot topic to say the
least.
A critically acclaimed actress,
the
face of Valentino,and one half of a very buzzy power
couple, Zendaya’s star power is immeasurable. Exuding unadulterated
glamor, the star’s uninhibited take on style restores the charm of
the fashion-forward Hollywood starlet. Here, GRAZIA takes
a look back on Zendaya’s best outfits of 2021.
