If walking the red carpet was an Olympic category, Zendaya would absolutely be the undisputed champion and rack up a pile of medals. The actor popped up in Paris for the Prelude to the Olympics event at the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
Z went for chic simplicity for the party, posing in a sleek, ’90s-inspired glittering beaded black slip gown. The actor wore her bright blonde hair slicked back from her face in a not-quite-wet, not-quite-damp style, styled by her go-to hairstylist Ursula Stephen. It wasn’t the traditional soaking wet look with lots of gel, but it wasn’t quite “I got caught in a little sprinkle of rain” damp, either—rather, the perfect balance of the two. It flowed down in subtle waves, ending just past her shoulders. The damp look was the ideal match for the dress, adding a cool-girl contrast to the sparkling glamour of the custom Louis Vuitton gown and Bvlgari earrings.

The hairstyle is gorgeous, of course, but we’d be remiss not to mention her absolutely radiant makeup. Zendaya’s skin was glowing even brighter than a gold medal thanks to makeup artist Ernesto Casillas, who applied a gleaming highlighter to her cheekbones and under her bold, perfectly sculpted brows. She wore a peachy color on her eyes and cheeks, with a similar shade on her lips, and lots of mascara for a fresh, bright-eyed vibe.
We’ve been treated to a plethora of looks from Zendaya this year thanks to the Dune 2 and Challengers press tours, as well as the Met Gala and Oscars. (Remember how she wore two looks back to back on the Met red carpet?) She tried out baby bangs, sunset eye shadow, and cherry red nails, went blonde, and then went even blonder. She’s an actor, a singer, a dancer, and she learned to play tennis for Challengers. If she decided to train for the Olympics, we’re pretty sure she’d win that too.
