Zendaya saw me on the red carpet and her jaw dropped - I'm still in shock

Zainab Jiwa, a 29-year-old fashion enthusiast, caught the attention of Hollywood star Zendaya at the London premiere of The Odyssey. Zendaya's jaw dropped at Zainab's custom gold gown with a hood, sparking a brief stare-off during which Zendaya exclaimed, "Oh my god, amazing, amazing." The encounter went viral, garnering 19 million views on TikTok.

Zainab, a Muslim woman who wears a hijab, often stands out at premieres and enjoys finding ways to incorporate modest wear while staying on-theme. Despite potential concerns about the challenges of dressing modestly in Hollywood, Zainab remains passionate about fashion and film, sharing her love for both through social media and interviews with A-list celebrities.
