Zendaya attended the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards in Los Angeles in a white dress, continuing her recent series of white outfits.

Styled by her longtime stylist Law Roach, Zendaya wore a white vintage Caché dress inspired by a design with sculpted ruching gathered toward one side of the gown. The design included a slanted neckline and one-shoulder. The most notable detail of the piece was its oversized hibiscus appliqué positioned along the neckline, with layered petals and metallic leaves.

The floral appliqué extended down the ruched side of the dress. She paired the dress with white Christian Louboutin pumps and minimal jewelry, including a single gold Cartier bracelet. Stylist Roach shared a video of the actress on the red carpet, captioning it: “An iconic piece of fashion history at ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards.”

The dress was originally made by designer Eugene Stutzman, who also worked under the name Eugene Alexander. The piece gained attention when Whitney Houston wore it in a 1987 promotional photoshoot. Her version featured two large blossoms along the neckline. The image was later used on a cover of Life magazine.

The dress returned to the public eye when costume designer Patricia Field reimagined a modified Caché version of the design for Sarah Jessica Parker in her role as Carrie Bradshaw for the first Sex and the City movie, reducing the floral detail to a single bloom. Zendaya wore a vintage Caché version of the design at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.

Zendaya previously wore an all-white look at the Louis Vuitton show on March 10, with a thin gold band on her left ring finger and no engagement ring. The same band was seen earlier on March 5 in promo photos for her upcoming film, “The Drama,” with Robert Pattinson. While the gold band and her recent white outfits hint that the rumors may be true, the actress has yet to confirm them.

Dua Lipa has been a frequent presence at Electric Lady Studios in recent weeks, continuing a steady schedule of recording sessions in New York City. Her earlier looks featured easy summer pieces, including a white button-down shirt paired with washed jeans. However, this latest appearance took a different direction by mixing summer dressing with a sporty edge.

On Thursday, July 23, Dua Lipa stepped out of a black SUV, wearing a plunging black halter-neck dress with a knee-length hem and a subtle polka-dot motif. She styled the piece with a long gold pendant necklace, black heeled boots, and her Hermès bag, which was decorated with scarves and small charms.

While the base of the outfit felt feminine, she introduced contrast through her accessories. A pair of Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses and a navy Yankees baseball cap that introduced a sport-inspired element on the look.

The addition of the cap, in particular, moved the outfit away from a typical evening or summer pairing. Instead, it gave the dress a more off-duty feel.

The styling choice also differed from her appearance the day before, when she arrived at the studio wearing a fitted green T-shirt paired with black track pants. She kept the same Hermès bag, adding a black hoodie over her head and oversized sunglasses.

Dua Lipa’s continued visits to Electric Lady Studios have also led to speculation that she may be working on new music. The singer’s last album, Radical Optimism, was released on May 3, 2024 and was followed by a world tour. Although she has not officially announced a new project, her recent studio appearances have increased curiosity among fans.

Fresh off The Odyssey press tour, Zendaya has returned to promoting her upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The actress appeared at a fan event in Mexico City, where she debuted a new hairstyle inspired by Audrey Hepburn, but with a modern update.

Styled by Ursula Stephen, she wore her hair in a voluminous updo with bangs that referenced Audrey Hepburn’s signature 1960s hairstyles. Instead of recreating it exactly, Zendaya’s version featured wispy micro bangs that sat just a little bit above her eyebrows. The light airy bangs rested on her forehead, highlighting her facial features, giving the look a youthful edge.

For her makeup, Ernesto Casillas created a look that complemented the hairstyle. He went with a dramatic cat-eye liner, defined features and neutral tones.

She paired the beauty look with a Spring/Summer 2026 black gown from Ashi Studio. The dress featured an asymmetrical design, with one side made from a silky form-fitting fabric, while the other side was crafted from sheer black lace with a slight shimmer. The gown also included extra-long fringe detailing that extended from the bodice and sleeves. She finished the outfit with silver earrings that paid tribute to the Spider-Man logo.

Zendaya was joined by her husband, Tom Holland, who coordinated with her in a black double-breasted blazer, black slacks, and a white dress shirt, paired with black leather shoes. He also added a subtle reference to the film with a white spider-shaped pendant attached to his black tie.

She completed the look with black thong kitten-heel sandals, slim black sunglasses, a croc-effect leather clutch and her signature glossy beauty look, while her bright sky-blue manicure added an unexpected pop of color.
