Zendaya rocked a Shakespeare-inspired ensemble for the press night of her boyfriend Tom Holland’s Romeo and Juliet debut.
On 23 May, the 27-year-old Challengers actor donned a lush black Shakespearean dress to watch her boyfriend Tom Holland star in Romeo and Juliet at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre. She accessorized the look with a brown pendant necklace, delicate hoop earrings, and her hair pulled back into a sleek bun at the nape of her neck.
The dress – designed by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood’s spring 2023 ready-to-wear collection – marks the actor’s continued commitment to method dressing. Throughout the year’s first half, the Emmy winner has been busy promoting her films.
At the world premiere of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Part Two, jaws collectively dropped when she strutted down the sandy carpet in an archival silver robot suit designed by Thierry Mugler. The Mugler creation consisted of body-hugging armor with sheer plexiglass inserts and built-in gloves. She paired the cyborg suit with matching silver heels, slicked-back hair, and a blue diamond necklace from Bulgari.
As the actor-stylist duo traveled the globe, stunning onlookers from Sydney to Milan with their sartorial choices, there were some notable standout pieces like her homage to tennis icons Serena and Venus Williams. Reminiscent of the black and white Carolina Herrera gowns the sisters wore in their 1998 Vogue photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz, the actor wore a similarly square-necked ballgown with white beads woven in her hair.
Even when the press tour was seemingly over, she was pictured in a custom long-sleeve mini-dress emblazoned with the film’s poster photo on the film’s wide release date on 26 April. Designed by Celia Kritharioti, the dress bore a holographic, blow-up still of her character Tashi looking over a pair of sunglasses.
