Zendaya’s look was a fashion history lesson, referencing Zelda Wynn Valdes. Valdes was a designer who is credited with designing the Playboy costume and dressed the likes of Joyce Bryant. Zendaya’s hair seemed to also be a reference to Joyce Bryant’s signature style.

Zendaya chose Louis Vuitton for her Golden Globes 2025 appearance on Sunday in Los Angeles. Her look, custom-made by Nicolas Ghesquière, featured a silky tangerine fabric and a classic ballgown silhouette.

Zendaya didn’t make fans wait long to see her first major red carpet look of the new year. At tonight’s Golden Globes, the Challengers actress arrived in a glamorous burnt-orange ball gown with a diamond necklace.
