Good luck to anyone trying to out do Zendaya. The actress has already secured a CFDA Fashion Icon award, a Golden Globe, and a Primetime Emmy amongst her many accolades. The dynamic fashion duo that is Zendaya and longtime stylist Law Roach is the gift that keeps on giving. She’s won red carpets with her highly anticipated outfits, like in the case of the 2024 Met Gala, she blessed us with not one but three looks.

The pair isn’t afraid to take a fashion risk or step out of their comfort zones, consider her Mugler robot look for the Dune press tour that launched thousands of tweets and Instagram posts or her Challengers press tour featuring their take on tennis-core, Loewe’s tennis ball adorned shoes and green checkered Louis Vuitton. She can wear a suit or dresses like no one else and along with her signature pose, she also has a signature shoe: pointy Kate stilettos from Louboutin. Zendaya shows no signs of letting up and thank goodness for that, we need some sartorial excitement over here. Here are some of her wardrobe highlights.

Below, Zendaya’s best outfits, looks, and fashion choices:
