It’s another iconic press-run for the books!
Zendaya and her longtime stylist Law Roach banded together again to curate another themed fashion rollout celebrating the release of the actress’ latest film “The Drama.”
While past press runs have seen Zendaya emulate her film’s setting or genre, this time the “Dune” star honored “The Drama”s wedding theme by paying homage to the old rhyme of wearing something old, new, borrowed and blue on one’s big day.

Much of Gen Z may be image-obsessed, but many seem to aspire to a certain kind of notoriety.
According to a June Yahoo/YouGov poll, a surprising star topped the list of provided celebrities young adults under 30 want to be like.
Against figures including Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, LeBron James, MrBeast, Beyoncé and Kylie Jenner, Gen Z adults chose Zendaya as the celebrity they most want to emulate by a healthy margin at 13% of respondents. None of the other celebs broke double digits.
Despite spending the majority of her life in the spotlight and transitioning from a child star of the early social media era to a globally recognized movie actress and fashion icon, the former Disney star and “Euphoria” alum is also known for embodying a sense of old-school fame, deliberately keeping her personal life out of the headlines.
Zendaya and Tom Holland’s cinematic romance through the years

Zendaya and Tom Holland are married,
according to celebrity stylist Law Roach, who has closely collaborated with Zendaya over the years. The stylist said during an interview with Access Hollywood at the 2026 Actor Awards red carpet that “the wedding has already happened.” USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Zendaya and Holland for comment.
On Jan. 6, 2025, reports emerged from People and TMZ that the notoriously private pair were engaged. They publicly confirmed they were dating in 2021 after years of speculation. They met on the set of the “Spider-Man” movies, in which Holland played the title superhero and Zendaya played love interest MJ.

Case in point: The 29-year-old actress has been famously private about her relationship with husband Tom Holland. She has yet to publicly confirm their marriage months later (maybe even years, who but Law Roach knows?).

Still, 10% couldn’t think of a celebrity, and 36% said they wouldn’t model their lives after any celebrity.
Gen Z may be pulling away from fame obsession, poll finds
Another poll question asked Gen Z adults about their career goals, with many respondents seeking non-famous paths. Of the provided list:
18% wanted to be a successful but non-famous tech entrepreneur
17% wanted to be a respected intellectual or professor
Just 5% of respondents wanted to be influencers or digital creators, just ahead of the number of people who wanted to be lawyers, at 3%.

Gen Z pout, ‘influencer voice’ and the horror of ‘looking cringe’
It’s a noted shift from previous thinking, with Yahoo pointing out that more than half of Gen Z respondents said they wanted to be influencers in a 2023 Morning Consult poll. The shift could also be seen in the generation growing tired of influencers and swearing off smartphones for a life less chronically online.
