12 Jul
Summary

- She channeled Doctor Octopus with a spine-like dress for Spider-Man.
- Zendaya became a robot with a vintage suit for Dune: Part Two.
Zendaya has consistently captivated audiences with her "method dressing" choices, drawing inspiration directly from her film roles. For the "The Greatest Showman" premiere, she embodied a monarch butterfly in a custom Moschino creation. Her interpretation of characters extended to a Roberto Cavalli gown featuring a spine resembling Doctor Octopus's tentacles for a "Spider-Man" event.
Further demonstrating her commitment to the craft, Zendaya embraced a futuristic aesthetic for "Dune: Part Two," wearing a vintage Thierry Mugler robot suit and an Alexander McQueen circuit board-inspired ensemble. Her press tours also highlight diverse themes, including "tenniscore" looks for "Challengers" and a "something old, new, borrowed, blue" bridal theme for "The Drama."
More recently, for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," she channeled arachnid themes with a Giorgio Armani cobweb gown. In 2026, her portrayal of Athena in "The Odyssey" inspired ethereal looks, including a Jacquemus gown and a Schiaparelli creation with a sculpted breastplate.
