During The Drama press tour, Zendaya designed her looks around the wedding theme: something old, something new, and something borrowed. Let's do a deep dive.

Zendaya has been serving one incredible sartorial moment after another during the promotional tour for their upcoming film, The Drama, in which she stars opposite Robert Pattinson as one half of a happily engaged couple whose wedding week goes spectacularly off the rails.

The actor and image architect Law Roach, known for their to-the-point approach to dressing during film press tours, chose the same route for The Drama, too. And this time, it's wedding-themed, with Zendaya choosing bridal looks: going for the something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue theme. Though fans are still waiting for the ‘something blue’ moment. Let's check out what she wore for each theme.

The something borrowed

The black gown features a daringly low-cut plunge neckline embellished with large onyx gemstones, a sculptural detail on the waist, and a sweeping fit-and-flare skirt. She finished the look with glittering diamond earrings, a wet-look bob, bold red eye shadow, glossy caramel lips, and beaming highlighter. According to Law Roach, Cate lent Zendaya the dress from her personal archives.

Something old and something new

Before the black sweeping gowns, Zendaya had worn the Vivienne Westwood and Louis Vuitton gowns in bridal white tone. The ‘something old’ look featured a corseted Vivienne Westwood number that she wore to the Oscars in 2015. It features an off-the-shoulder neckline, a corset bodice, a sweeping skirt, and a bow at the back. A flapper-style pixie and some incredibly impressive marital jewellery rounded off the look.

Meanwhile, the ‘something new’ custom Louis Vuitton dress features a crewneck, long sleeves, princess seams that contour the body, and Victorian shoulder design. For added drama, the gown also featured a sweeping black bow that doubled as a bridal train and an upper-back cut-out on the reverse.

She finished the look with a multi-string David Morris diamond necklace, diamond stud earrings, a sweeping bouffant updo with curls, her engagement ring, and a gold wedding band.

According to Zendaya’s stylist and image architect, Law Roach, the bespoke Louis Vuitton dress is a nod to the classic Victorian-era wedding dress.
