Zendaya is red carpet gold. Whether it’s a touch of whimsy with a feather fascinator at this year’s Met Gala; futuristic, desert-inspired gowns for the Dune 2 press tour or a high-slung, XXL plait and bow for the UK premier of Challengers, she is the moment. But Zendaya’s most recent look managed to outshine even the Olympic torch.
