Zendaya is in her Louis Vuitton era and it shows. Yesterday, the actor stepped out twice, showing off the duality of her personal style and the duality of the designer fashion house.
On Dec. 2, Zendaya touched down in New York City, for the 2024 Gotham Awards. Her fresh-from-the-plane look was both functional and relatable. She dressed down, wearing a coordinating black track suit—a sporty staple for any stylish jet setter. Her footwear also put comfort at the forefront, with a pair of $200 Birkenstock Londons in black suede. (These are the shoe version of their famous Boston clogs).
Though the rest of her look was stereotypical "chill girl," Zendaya's handbag was the epitome of luxury. In lieu of your typical tote, she carried a boxy leather shoulder bag that was covered in a rainbow of LV logos. Dubbed the Side Trunk MM, her bag is shoppable for a cool $3,900. (Only in brown, though—her white style isn't yet available.)
A few hours later, the actor hit the red carpet in yet another Louis Vuitton design—this time, however, she was the picture of elegance. Zendaya went all-white for the event, wearing a custom design from the luxury label.
Her floor-length ivory gown featured a high neckline and spaghetti straps, with a daring open back. Styled by her longtime fashion partner Law Roach, the look was as minimal as minimal comes, with only a few glitzy rings to be seen. The star received a Spotlight Tribute for her performance in the tennis throuple drama, Challengers.
This duality is one of the many reasons Zendaya is now considered one of the greatest style stars of our time. Her day-off looks hit just as hard as her red carpet looks—something that's considered a major accomplishment in the fashion community.
