Fashion royalty: Zendaya’s red carpet Spider-Man style

Trendsetting actress Zendaya has been turning heads on the red carpet with her unique fashion choices, often collaborating with her husband Tom Holland. The Spider-Man star has proven that a blockbuster movie premiere can be just as exciting off-screen as it is on-screen. While promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zendaya used each city's inspiration to create a different look, collaborating with popular stylist Law Roach to craft a visual story.

Roach helped Zendaya lean heavily into spider-inspired details, resulting in memorable couture that highlighted her fashion prowess.

In London, Zendaya stepped out in a spectacular John Galliano dress from the Spring 1997 collection. The midnight blue gown was adorned with delicate charms, giving it an almost celestial quality. The real showstopper was the intricate spiderweb design at the back, created from delicate chains. This vintage fashion with a distinct Zendaya twist solidified her status as one of the most closely watched stars on the red carpet.

When Zendaya arrived in Rome, the fashion rules changed. Roach revealed that they "only wear Italian when in Italy," making her vintage Giorgio Armani gown a perfect choice. The actress donned a striking spiderweb dress from Armani's Spring 1990 collection, which connected her fashion story to the Italian city. The decision to revisit fashion history showcased Zendaya's ability to make archival designs feel fresh rather than dated.

For the Madrid premiere, Zendaya opted for Christian Cowan, wearing a strapless black gown from the designer's Fall 2026 collection. The dramatic fringed skirt and 1940s-inspired silhouette brought old Hollywood energy to the look, while vintage lace and silk elements added a touch of glamour. The modern styling kept the overall look contemporary and suitably dramatic for a superhero premiere. Zendaya finished the outfit with black pumps and accessories from Rolex and Stéfère Jewellery.
