Zendaya shines on the July cover of Vogue Italia

With Zendaya’s arrival, there was a palpable shift in energy that somehow set the day’s intentions. As she made her way along with a walk-through of the set with her team, it became clear that this was not a case of a star showing up to be blindly molded and shaped by the main creatives on set, but rather a collaborative effort with a woman who had a vision of being her own.

The chance to witness her metamorphosis from an off-duty actress in sweats into an embodiment of beauty and grace for a generation.

“Don’t worry she’ll find it,” proudly remarked her long-time stylist and collaborator Law Roach in response to the photographer’s request for Zendaya to find a pose that works during the shoot.

The confidence and poise with which she moves make it impossible to not be a fan, notwithstanding her acclaimed acting, producing, or fashion, but simply her presence is a force that speaks for itself.

Euphoria

Throughout the past few years, the number of people who have been noting and championing this presence along with all her talents has increased by millions as a result of her being the star of the HBO hit series Euphoria, and on the other side of the mirror, the star slowly adjusting.

Zendaya also credits fashion for helping her with confidence and authenticity.

“I always loved clothes and they were in many ways a tool of expression. Fashion has taught me so much about myself and how to be so much more fearless in a lot of different ways,” she explains. “It has also helped me in other avenues of my life whether it be business or even as an actress to be more fearless and to not be so concerned with other people’s point of view of what I look like or what I’m wearing.”

She was dressed in a shimmery white dress with embroidered rhinestones. The sultry dress boasted a deeply plunging neckline that was further emphasized by Zendaya’s tantalizing pose. She wrapped her arms around her body and leaned away from the camera, putting her dramatic makeup on full display.

 

Vogue Italia said Zendaya “has become a portrait of our generation” and boasted her debut on the cover of the magazine with pride.

“I feel incredibly grateful to be in this position because, without the women of the past, especially, iconic black women who have done what I’ve done before, I wouldn’t be able to exist in this space,” Zendaya said, according to the outlet.

She has often been linked to Tom Holland but the actress has kept mum for that matter.
