Zendaya made a fashion statement on The Tonight Show, incorporating elements of bridal lingerie and the traditional “something blue” into a single outfit.

A Unique Bridal-Inspired Look

The actress’s dress featured a velvet-trimmed bralette and matching under-bust corset, adding opacity to the gown. An undone garter belt was visible at her hips, draped over a pleated skirt.

Short lace ruffles were added to create volume, while an asymmetrical hemline mirrored the transparency of the sleeves. Zendaya opted to forgo jewelry, letting her watch take center stage.

A Bejeweled Timepiece

As a newly appointed brand ambassador for Rolex, Zendaya chose the Lady-Datejust. The specific model she wore is adorned with pavé diamonds on the face, dial, bezel, and band, carrying a price tag of $177,400.

Thematic Connection to 'Challengers'

Zendaya explained that her recent fashion choices are intentionally evolving to reflect the narrative of her upcoming film, Challengers. “We’re leaning into the thematic changes to the movie,” she stated.

Darker Tones Reflect the Plot

She noted that her outfits have become progressively darker as her promotional tour continues. “It starts quite light… but thematically, the looks are starting to get a bit darker, so following kind of the plot of the film.”

This Erdem dress follows a similar aesthetic to a previous look worn by Cate Blanchett in Rome. Zendaya hinted there might be further nods to the wedding tradition on future red carpets, potentially in a different shade of blue.
