Zendaya Continues Her Bridal-Themed Press Tour With a Borrowed Armani Privé Gown

Zendaya shifted away from her usual white looks at the Rome premiere of her film “The Drama.” The actress who had been on a streak of white dresses since the beginning of the press tour, chose a different look by wearing a black Giorgio Armani Privé gown previously worn by Cate Blanchett.

Styled by her longtime stylist Law Roach, the black silk dress featured a plunging neckline, embellished with dark stones, though the outfit was dark, it still carried a bridal reference.

At the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Venice International Film Festival in 2025, Cate Blanchett had worn the exact same dress. Her stylist wrote on social media, “something borrowed,” thanking Blanchett for lending it from her archive.

In recent appearances, Zendaya has been wearing archival pieces, including a white Vivienne Westwood gown from 2015 she wore on March 17, presented as “something old.” For the Paris premiere, she appeared in a white Louis Vuitton dress, as “something new.”

She also changed her hairstyle. Instead of her usual neat side-part bob, this time it looked looser, with strands across her face. She paired it with diamond earrings and rings.

During an interview with The Guardian, Law Roach explained that early in Zendaya’s career, he would often dress her in outfits that other celebrities had worn on the red carpet. He did this so she could appear in “Who Wore It Better” features and gain visibility.

Now, years later, having become widely known, that idea returns. From something old to something new and now something borrowed, her looks follow a pattern.
