How Zendaya Developed Such Great Style at the Young Age of 19
Photo: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic
Zendaya receives a lot of attention for her hair, whether she’s paying homage to David Bowie with a wig or (rightly) calling out hair shamers. But let’s take a second to praise her fearless fashion — after all, not everyone can pull of a giant cartoon hat better than Pharrell.
The actress and singer shares a stylist with Céline Dion, of all people, and, at just 19, even has her own clothing line. Known for being wise beyond her years, she’s managed to stay playful on the red carpet even as she’s traded her Disney-era Minnie Mouse ears for graphic Kenzo prints. See her many takes on classic menswear-inspired looks (including a tribute to Aaliyah) and her big award-show gowns in our slideshow ahead.
