Zendaya is back, baby!

One of the most prolific style icons in the game right now returned to the red carpet this week, and, of course, with her highly anticipated return came a stunning style moment that fashion girlies everywhere are living for—leave it to Zendaya to leave jaws on the floor.

Styled by the amazing CFDA Award-winning Law Roach, the actress arrived at the Louis Vuitton Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris, France, wearing a shimmery silver mini dress.

The bodice of the garment was composed of medium-sized silver bows in a straight line, a choice that made the piece ooze opulence and lavishness. Her collars and cuffs were made up of white fur, which did a stellar job at breaking up the silver and introducing both a new color and fabric. Upon further inspection, details of vertical lines going up and down the pockets of the dress could also be seen—a small detail, but a welcome one nonetheless.

And a little applause for her accessories, please? While she kept the extra additions a little more subtle in this particular ensemble, they are still absolutely praiseworthy. The silver pump heels made this chrome outfit stand out even more. The same went for her beautiful engagement ring, which—while most likely not intentionally paired with this particular outfit—really drove home the look of luxury.

Last but not least, her hair. Zendaya stepped in front of the camera with her hair perfect, not a single strand out of place. Her ombre strands were lightly quaffed, with a dramatic side bang that gave a daring yet sexy vibe. This style is certainly up there as one of her best—perhaps of all time.

“Fashion is something I’ve always used as an outlet, a tool,” Zendaya expressed during an interview on the BBC One Show last year. “Ultimately, I think I am a more shy person, so it allows for me to create this persona, this character that I get to live in for the day.”

If the character she’s playing for Paris Fashion Week is a high-fashion babe who took a dip in a silver pool, rolled around in some expensive fur, and decided to have people gagged for a day, then there’s no doubt she crushed bringing this character to life! But does anyone really expect anything less from Zendaya?

What other looks will Zendaya showcase at Paris Fashion Week? The world—and we—can’t wait to see!
