On a Thursday evening, the Duke of York Theatre in London’s West End hosted the premiere of “Romeo and Juliet”. The event was noteworthy for featuring Tom Holland in the role of Romeo. Known for his portrayal of Spider-Man, Holland, now nearly 27, returned to the stage for the first time since his teenage debut in the Billy Elliot the Musical.
Tom’s performance in this Shakespearean classic drew significant attention, marking a notable return to his theatrical roots. His return to the stage was met with enthusiasm from the audience, highlighting his continued versatility as an actor.
Zendaya and Tom Holland: Admirers of Each Other
This adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, starring Tom opposite Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, will run for only 12 weeks until August 3 (good luck finding tickets…). Naturally, for the “real” premiere of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy (reimagined by Jamie Lloyd), organizers invited many celebrities.
Among the first VIP spectators were Tom Hiddleston and his partner Zawe Ashton, Maya Jama and Stormzy, but especially… Zendaya, Tom Holland’s girlfriend. They are each other’s biggest fans, though the actress’s presence was understated, much like the couple themselves.
Though they didn’t pose for photographers (that would be too much to ask), Tom and Zendaya held hands as they left the theater and got into a car. Zendaya, all smiles, didn’t miss the chance to snap a few photos of Tom as he joined her. Adorable, right?
But what was Zendaya wearing? For the evening, the actress, who recently toured the globe promoting Dune: Part Two and Challeners, chose a black Vivienne Westwood Spring 2023 dress adorned with tiny sparkling embellishments. She accessorized her outfit with layered necklaces, her hair in a low bun, and Christian Louboutin shoes. A true Shakespearean heroine!
