Zendaya Trades Bridal Whites for Gothic RomanceGetty Images

You know the saying—for your wedding day, you need “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” Well, Zendaya has officially checked off all the boxes. For her latest press day, the actor’s style streak leaned a little less bridal and a little more gothic, perhaps embracing the darker side of her forthcoming film, The Drama.

In New York City yesterday, she stepped out in a trio of looks that proved a far cry from the little white dresses she’s been wearing to promote the movie. Zendaya started off strong for an appearance on Good Morning America in a black-and-white ensemble from Erdem’s Fall 2026 collection.

The look, composed of a bouclé jacket and matching high-neck minidress, was finished with feather-like trim that gave the whole thing an unraveling feel. She paired the fresh-off-the-runway ensemble with her trusty white Christian Louboutin pumps.
For the appearance itself, the Euphoria star kept things in the Erdem family but changed into an alternate piece from the recent collection. This one, grounded by a classic black blazer, featured a transparent tulle outer layer embroidered with white floral detailing. While on the runway, it was styled with a doily high-neck collared-shirt, Zendaya wore hers without the added layer, giving it a strictly contemporary touch.

The highlight of the day, however, came in the evening. Joining Jimmy Fallon and co-star Robert Pattinson on The Tonight Show, the leading actor slipped into a navy-blue Zimmermann gown that screamed gothic romance. The transparent lingerie look was constructed with an exposed bra, corset, and garter belt, with lacy ruffles at the hips and a long gathered skirt.
While we’re sure Zendaya will give “something blue” a proper time to shine by the end of the press tour, this fit will hold us over until then.
