Zendaya attended the New York City premiere of The Drama on Thursday night wearing a strapless black and blue gown from Schiaparelli Haute Couture. The outfit stood out for its detailed design and continued a fashion theme she has been following during the film’s promotional tour.
The gown was made using 65000 raw silk feathers in black and blue, with 27 different shades of blue used in the design. She paired the outfit with silver and blue earrings and a large matching ring. Her hair was styled in a slicked back look, and her makeup was simple except for blue eyeshadow that matched the dress.
Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach planned the entire press tour around the traditional wedding rhyme, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”. They first shared this idea during the film’s Los Angeles premiere on March 17.
Oh, the drama!

For “something old,” Zendaya wore a white gown by Vivienne Westwood that she had originally worn at the 2015 Oscars when she was 18. In Paris, she chose a new look, a backless white gown from Louis Vuitton with a long black bow. In Rome, she followed the “borrowed” theme by wearing a black gown from Armani Privé that previously belonged to Cate Blanchett.
Her outfits throughout the tour have mixed bridal styles with more dramatic elements like torn fabrics and structured suits. This has also led to discussions about her personal life. Law Roach said at the Actor Awards on March 1 that Zendaya and her fiancé Tom Holland are already married, saying, “The wedding has already happened.” He repeated this claim at the Oscars later. Zendaya has not confirmed this and responded to questions with, “Really? I haven’t seen any of that.”
She has been seen wearing the same ring at multiple events, which has added to the speculation.
In the film, Zendaya stars alongside Robert Pattinson as a couple whose relationship faces problems just before their wedding. The movie is set to release in theatres on Friday.
