Zendaya Coleman is undeniably an icon of our generation. At only 25-years-old, this Emmy award winning actress has achieved more than us mortals could ever dream of in a lifetime.

For the past decade, she’s graced the screen in leading roles including MJ in the Spiderman franchise, Anne Wheeler in The Greatest Showman and Rue Bennett in Euphoria, and could we ever forget the part that started it all, CeCe from Shake It Up.

Between her philanthropy and advocacy, is there anything she can’t do? Write a book? Nope she did that in 2013. Design a collection that was showcased as NYFW? Wrong again, Zendaya’s collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger was one of the most highly anticipated runway shows of 2019. Zendaya is a powerhouse with no signs of stopping.

While there are many things that Zendaya will be remembered for over her career, today we’ve chosen to honour her very best fashion moments of all time (which there are a lot of).

There’s no doubt that Zendaya has served many major looks during the Venice Film Festival, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise as she’s basically slayed every red carpet she’s walked. Remember the Met Gala? The Oscars? Name a better duo than Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach. We’ll wait.
