That’s a wrap on “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” for Zendaya.
The Emmy Award-winning actress and fashion icon has completed her method dressing streak amid The Drama’s global press tour by stepping out at the New York premiere at Regal Union Square on Thursday night in a look by Schiaparelli with jewelry by Tiffany & Co.
Zendaya stars opposite Robert Pattinson in A24’s The Drama, a film about a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected revelation by the bride-to-be sends their wedding week off the rails. As a play on the plot — and perhaps as a cheeky nod to news that she is a newlywed herself after marrying longtime love Tom Holland — Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach have curated a series of looks that align with the wedding tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” It’s a well-known mix that, per Victorian-era codes, is meant to ward off evil spirits and deliver good luck to the couple.
Her “something old” came courtesy of a Vivienne Westwood dress worn to the Los Angeles premiere after originally wearing it to her first Academy Awards in 2015. Zendaya wore “something new” to the Paris premiere with a custom Louis Vuitton dress with a back cut-out and oversized black bow that doubled as a train. The “something borrowed” debuted at the film’s Rome premiere in a loaned dress from Cate Blanchett’s closet that was made custom by Giorgio Armani Privé. The Oscar winner most recently worn the gown in another Italian city at the Venice Film Festival opening night ceremony in August 2025. But doubling down on the whole “borrowed” trend, Blanchett had also worn it before herself at the SAG Awards in 2022.
Roach recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about their method dressing streak and why it makes sense for her films like Dune, Challengers and more. (See the video here.) Expect to see much more of it from Zendaya and Roach in 2026, as the actress has a dizzying slate of new releases. Up next is the long-awaited third season of Euphoria on April 12. Zendaya will then have about three months off before Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hits theaters on July 17. Two weeks later, the highly anticipated fourth Spider-Man film starring Holland will come out on July 31, followed by the third Dune installment, which is slated for a Dec. 18 release.
Zendaya recently Fandango she hopes that “people don’t get sick of me,” and that she jokingly plans on going into “hiding for just a little bit” after the crush of new projects hits screens. “I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way,” she said. “I’m deeply appreciative, and like I said, I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year, because, I’ll tell you what, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit.”
The Drama hits theaters Friday, April 3.
