Other style standouts from her press events include a dramatic draped Rick Owens gown with one long sleeve, a chain-link Vivienne Westwood crop top and checkered skirt, a torso-baring Alaïa two-piece and a custom leather Balmain dress (crafted using an exact model of the stars' bust!).
Zendaya’s longtime image architect Law Roach told PEOPLE that they’ve started toexperiment with more daring stylesnow that she’s in her mid-20s.
“She’s a woman now so we’ve been doing a little more skin and sexy,” Roach said. “We like to create aspirational looks that people will talk about for a while.”
“We have such a relationship that there’s no fear when it comes to fashion. There’s nothing she won’t try. She’s fearless,” Roach added. “She has this really beautiful talent of going on the carpet and evoking whatever story we created in the background.”
And once she pushes the boundary on one red carpet, she’s onto the next jaw-dropping moment.
“She’s constantly evolving,” Roach said. “She’s really talented in that way. There’s no one thing that defines Zendaya.”
