Zendaya stuns in a tiny dress first worn by music icon 50 years ago
The actress paid tribute to the singer at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame gala in New York with an outfit harking back to a legendary dress from 1972.
Zendaya is an actress who always dares to push the envelope on the red carpet. Her looks rarely go unnoticed, making her a style icon not just for her generation but also across generations. This was evident once again over the weekend at the 39th Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, held in New York.
The young star wowed the crowd in a striking dress that paid homage to Cher, who originally wore a similar design a remarkable 52 years ago in 1972. Zendaya took the stage to introduce the legendary singer, one of the night’s highlights, as Cher performed a duet with Dua Lipa. The actress shared heartfelt words about Cher, and the two displayed a warm rapport.
Just a few days earlier, Zendaya had revealed in an interview with journalist Erik Davis that she considers herself shy and struggles with the fame that comes with her profession. Yet, despite these personal challenges, her red carpet appearances are always flawless and highly talked about.
All about Zendaya’s dress
The dress Zendaya wore, reminiscent of Cher’s 1972 outfit, was a showstopper with its daring criss-cross straps extending below the navel, where the skirt began, sitting low on her hips.
With a central slit, a crossover halter neckline, and minimal fabric, Zendaya left no one indifferent. She completed the look with towering gold heels, complementing the metallic tone of the dress.
