Zendaya stepped out to the 2025 Golden Globe Awards in an elegant corset gown inspired by the late American singer and activist, Joyce Bryant.

Zendaya’s dress in particular appears to be an homage to a Zelda Wynn Valdez dress Bryant wore on the cover of her 1954 album, Runnin’ Wild. Valdez, a Black designer helped redefine Bryant’s image (in some ways similar to the relationship between Law and Zendaya).

Though she also dressed stars like Dorothy Dandridge, Gladys Knight, and Earth Kitt. She also designed the original Playboy bunny uniform.

Amazing. Law Roach is a genius and Zendaya is his ideal muse. No notes.

Everyone seemed really supportive of each this year. I wasn't the usual Hollywood fake news

The illusion mesh on the back of Nicole’s dress is so well done!

I feel like Zendaya is someone who I’m doused to adore but I don’t know why I’m supposed to adore her. Yes, she knows how to pose, and Law Roach always does the most for her, but that’s it. I didn’t like her in Challengers, Dune, or Euphoria, but it feels like I’m the only one with that opinion.

Dress itself is lovely. It is from the Haute Couture S/S 1966 collection by Hubert de Givenchy.

In a release about the look, an archivist at Givenchy shared, "The dress is pale yellow silk with a hand-beaded bodice ... from the epic Givenchy Haute Couture/Audrey Hepburn era ... cne of the most important unions between a designer and muse."

Did Hepburn wea the dress? She had dark hair and more blue toned skin. Grande has more yellow toned Mediterranean skin plus the light reddish hair makes it all extremely washed out and sallow looking. A softer, fuller look on her hair might have helped balance it out a little. It’s a beautiful dress but wrong for her and badly styled here.

Both Ariana Grande and Zendaya should not be wearing warm colors with their skin tones.

Zendaya can wear any tone she pleases.

The PP was talking about wearing colors that flatter. I known some don't believe on that but the concept is not discriminationatory. For example, I am a little darker than Zoe Saldana but with the same undertones, and never wear ivory, light beige, olive, for example. These colors look dead on me. Yes some believe now flattery and silhouette do not matter and anything goes, but I don’t.

DP but I think some of us just disagree that Zendaya looks bad in that bronze color. I like her in that dress. I agree with color theory generally and that sometimes certain colors are just wrong on certain people. But I loved her in the bronze dress. It worked for me.

This is the PP you are responding to yes I think the color actually did work on her, it wasn't a "stretch" color--if I had more time or motivation I would experiment with wearing non flattering colors for whimsy or to be ironic, just for fun, but still intentional.

I don't think she's the best actress in the world but I think she's beautiful and admire her general presence -- she seems very confident and comfortable with herself but in a way that comes off as friendly and not arrogant.

I didn't like Euphoria in general (it was too depressing for me) and was neutral on Zendaya in it. I guess she did a good job with the role but I didn't like the role? I just didn't like that show.

She's good in Dune. Not life changing but very good.

I looooooved Challengers. Again it's not like her acting was earth shattering but it was such an interesting movie and I loved how it was shot and scored. So I like that she picked that project.

But my favorite thing about her is how far she's willing to go for a major fashion moment on the red carpet. Wearing that metal vintage Mugler suit for the Dune II premier. Her waist length dreadlocks with a white Vivienne Westwood gown. Everything she's ever worn to the Met Gala. Her 2024 Oscars dress. She takes big swings and never misses. It's a weird niche talent but I'll take it. Nicole Kidman was like this early in her career, back when she was with Tom. Like I will tune into the red carpet just to see what she wears.

You seem to be knowledgeable about this stuff. What colors would most flatter your skin tone and Zendaya?

Poor lamb, he’s trying so hard.

So is Jeremy Strong

These “men” are an embarrassment.

Why? Because they're not wearing the male uniform? It must be boring to have only one choice of black tux, white shirt and bow tie.

She looks very Sophia Loren.

Thanks for the background -- my first thought was Hepburn and now I see why.

I think the gloves were wrong and that the color doesn't work, especially with her hair that shade of blonde. I think if she'd gone platinum it would have worked better, though unfortunately she still would have been screwed over by that pale pink and yellow rose backdrop. She looks better in the room (though the dress itself is less striking while seated).

Couldn’t find Audrey in that dress - only a similar one

I wish we could see if against the green background. Against the yellow she just disappears into the background.

The color story still doesn't work for me -- she looks sick here. Agree with the PP who said her skin tone is too warm for this yellow and it's made worse by the auburn tones in her hair. This is not a warm yellow so it clashes.

I loved this look from 2019 Grammys, styled by Law Rowch

wow, has she changed a lot in 5 years.

Yes I have. Nicole still gave the most daring and critically acclaimed preformance.
