On December 16, a TikTok creator went viral for running into Zendaya inside a Brooklyn bagel shop, seemingly confirming her return to New York City. Turns out, a balaclava-clad Zendaya landed at JFK airport a few hours prior—not that her bright orange hood was discreet.
The TikTok video hit 200,000 views before photos of Zendaya's arrival surfaced online, which marked the end of her three-month-long street style hiatus. Even so, she committed to going incognito mode in a layered winter look. First up? An oversize khaki-colored trench coat, stacked over a gray crewneck and black sweatpants. She tucked the joggers into knee-high, all-weather boots. A matching top-handle tote served as her carry-on, while her close friend, Darnell Appling, shouldered monogrammed Louis Vuitton duffles. Senior fashion news editor Halie LeSavage called the black bags "a dead giveaway" that Zendaya was indeed outside Baggage Claim.
