The new year has barely begun and Zendaya has not only sent fans into engagement speculation meltdown, but she’s also started a new trend.
The actress wore a custom Louis Vuitton burnt orange gown to the Golden Globes award ceremony on Sunday night in Los Angeles, put together by her long-term stylist Law Roach.
Writing on Instagram, Roach said the look was “In honor of Diahann, Eartha, Dorothy and Joyce…[sic]” referring to various Black icons of Old Hollywood. The satin gown had a fitted bodice and voluminous back train, with heeled pumps in the same fabric. Zendaya’s look was completed by a matching copper finger-waved hair do and jewellery by Bulgari.
Just when we thought this year was going to belong to Mocha Mousse, a new shade has entered the chat. Rust or burnt orange is a warm and flattering colour that will spice up a cold and bleak January, lasting well into the summer months.
Now, most of us don’t have a plethora of upcoming award shows to attend, but that doesn’t mean we can’t channel Zendaya’s style. We’ve rounded up the best burnt orange dresses to buy now — however, we can’t guarantee they’ll come with a giant diamond ring.
