Just after her recent appearance at the 98th Academy Awards alongside co-star Robert Pattinson, where Zendaya turned heads in a vintage floral look paired with over-30-carat statement earrings by Cindy Chao and a $174,400 diamond-covered Rolex Lady-Datejust, the actress has once again found herself dominating headlines. Without missing a beat, she returned to the spotlight with another striking appearance at the premiere of The Drama, delivering yet another standout red carpet moment.

Recently spotted in Los Angeles for the premiere of The Drama on March 17, Zendaya wore a classic Victorian-era corset-inspired Vivienne Westwood gown, revisiting the same silhouette from 2015 and bringing a nostalgic, story-driven edge to the red carpet. Speaking about the look, Zendaya shared how she and stylist Law Roach leaned into the film’s theme, drawing from the idea of “something old, something new,” and reintroducing the archival piece.

“I was brainstorming with [stylist Law Roach] about how I would theme dress for this film, and I kind of remembered the saying, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,'” Zendaya told Variety.

Recalling that moment, she shared how meaningful it was for her and how revisiting the look now felt just as right, especially with its wedding-inspired theme.

The moment felt more personal as Suki Waterhouse, real-life partner of Robert Pattinson, also joined the March 17 premiere in a dramatic high-fashion look, showing her support.

As the stars lit up the red carpet with their stunning looks, here is everything you need to know about The Drama before it unfolds on screen.
