Zendaya’s The Drama press tour is in full swing ahead of its April 3 release, and the buzz is only getting louder. Amid ongoing speculation about her wedding to Tom Holland – and the playful, wedding-inspired fashion narrative crafted with her stylist Law Roach – fans have been decoding each press look as a nod to the Victorian adage, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” But her latest appearance saw the actor step away from the theme, embracing a distinctly different aesthetic.
Styled by Law Roach, Zendaya was spotted leaving ABC studios in New York City on April 1, wearing a striking, straight-off-the-runway monochrome ensemble by Erdem, where she was filming an appearance on Good Morning America. The look, pulled from the label’s Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, had only just made its debut at London Fashion Week last month. Marked as the ninth look from Erdem’s collection, the ensemble featured a structured tweed jacket layered over a shredded dress crafted from fabric remnants.
Let’s take a closer look at Zendaya’s ensemble!
Zendaya stuns in monochrome Erdem
Zendaya’s ensemble centred on a sharply structured black-and-white tweed jacket, cut with a high funnel neckline and clean, architectural lines that framed her torso. Panels of black velvet fabric sliced through the textured tweed, adding depth and contrast while subtly breaking the grid-like pattern.
Beneath it, the look unfolded into a striking, hand-woven shredded dress crafted from fabric remnants – an intricate, tactile piece that brought movement and drama to the silhouette. The skirt, with its feathery, frayed finish, evoked an almost ostrich-like texture, creating a playful yet avant-garde contrast to the primness of the tweed above. Even the full sleeves of the tweed jacket echoed the skirt’s dramatic finish, ending in matching frayed hems where strips of fabric fell in soft, voluminous layers – amplifying the look’s airy movement.
Styling and makeup
Despite ditching the wedding aesthetic, the actor grounded the look with classic bridal white Christian Louboutin pumps, their sleek, pointed silhouette offering a clean, modern counterpoint to the richly textured ensemble.
Keeping the focus firmly on the outfit, her styling was deliberately pared-back yet polished. The 29-year-old actor wore her hair in a short, softly sculpted bob with vintage waves, adding a touch of old-Hollywood elegance to the otherwise contemporary look. Her makeup followed suit – fresh, radiant skin paired with softly defined eyes and a muted, rosy lip – allowing the intricate textures of the ensemble to take centre stage.
