Here comes the bride?
Zendaya looked ready to walk down the aisle as she modeled a stunning Schiaparelli Haute Couture wedding gown in the pages of Vogue’s new May 2024 issue — and along with her bridal look, she wore nothing but a giant rose on the cover of the mag.
The “Dune” star, 27, gave off an ethereal yet modern vibe in the custom bridal dress, which was designed by the fashion house’s creative director, Daniel Roseberry.

The white satin column gown ended just above Zendaya’s abs, with a tulle ruffle collar — which extended from a crystal necklace — covering her bare chest with strategically-placed three-dimensional floral embellishments.
She wore a sculptural white headpiece featuring swiss dots and the same flowers, with the piece extending down into a cape-like veil that attached to the gown’s illusion sleeves.
The “Greatest Showman” star stuck with the floral theme for the magazine’s cover, wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda dress in the shape of a giant red rose.
Zendaya also wore several other spring-like frocks for the shoot — which was shot by Annie Leibovitz — modeling a marigold Dior Haute Couture dress with embroidered flowers and a dramatic pale green and lavender Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown featuring a billowing train.
While the “Spider-Man” actress prefers to keep things more low-key on a day-to-day basis, she told Vogue that she becomes a different person during photo shoots or glitzy red carpet events.
“She’s a different being that comes into me—my own Sasha Fierce,” Zendaya admitted, referencing Beyoncé’s more over-the-top alter ego. “I have to buy that this woman exists, or that this fantasy exists.”
Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach — who crafted the looks for her Vogue shoot as well as her recent “Dune: Part Two” and “Challengers” press tours — told Vogue that the star’s looks are a team effort.
“What she allows me to do is to come up with the big story, the big idea, and she takes that and she whittles it down a bit,” Roach told the mag.
As for a real-life bridal gown, engagement rumors have swirled around Zendaya and her boyfriend, Tom Holland, for some time, although she denied them in a post on her Instagram Story last year.
However, the former Disney star told Vogue she “could not be more proud” of Holland as he gears up to star in a London production of “Romeo & Juliet” this May.
“I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can,” she added.
Zendaya might need to take a break from theater-going for one important duty, though, as she’s set to co-chair the 2024 Met Gala this May.
