Zendaya arrived at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 14 in a custom Prada gown that turned heads even by her own high red-carpet standard. Held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and hosted by Mariska Hargitay, the ceremony brought out Hollywood's biggest television stars, but Zendaya's entrance became one of the night's most talked-about fashion moments before the show even started.
The gown was a sheer, floor-length design covered in silver crystal embellishment, with a plunging neckline that gave the piece a modern spin on the "naked dress" silhouette Prada has become known for on red carpets in recent years. Zendaya completed the look with jewelry from Mikimoto, keeping the focus on the gown's metallic shimmer rather than adding competing color or texture.
