Zendaya's Coachella dress is all the convincing we need to add a ruffled mini dress to our summer capsule wardrobes.
In case you missed it, Zendaya made literal history as she surprised festival-goers at Coachella (on Saturday, April 22, 2023) by joining Labrinth on stage to perform two songs from the Euphoria soundtrack. The crowd's screams were so loud, Zendaya could barely hear herself sing, which really just illustrates how major this moment was for fans.
Naturally, Zendaya's Coachella performance was only topped by her outfit itself—which channeled all those Euphoria Y2K fashion vibes and added to the iconic list of Zendaya's best outfits. So, for anyone who, like us, is totally enamored with Zendaya's dress, here's a recap of the dreamy moment (you're welcome) and how to recreate her summery fit...
The Zendaya Coachella dress moment
While this moment is still very fresh in our minds and will likely continue to replay for days to come, how could we not relive it one more time, altogether?
If somehow you've managed to miss the iconic scenes which literally sent Zendaya fans feral—and are still going viral on TikTok at this very moment—the Emmy-winning Euphoria star surprised Coachella attendees during Labrinth's set to perform two tracks from the HBO show's soundtrack.
The pair sang 'I'm Tired' and 'All of Us' together, with Zendaya's hair in dreamy, voluminous curls while she rocked a pink, ruffled mini dress and thigh-high boots.

The dress itself had satin detailing and a slip dress-like top but cut off at Zendaya's thigh with cute ruffles, confirming once and for all that ruffles and mini-dresses are hot styles for summer 2023.
In fact, a ton of the Coachella outfits featured a ruffle—take Rosalía's ruffled pink top for instance. And now that Zendaya's jumped on the trend, it's official.
She wore the pink mini-dress over a white tank top and accessorized the look with some silver hoops and a pair of leather, thigh-high Christian Louboutin boots—the whole fit perfectly echoed that Euphoria aesthetic.
