Zendaya has been nominated for a Golden Globe twice and earned a win for her performance as Rue inEuphoriain 2023. She’s actually only ever been to the ceremony in 2016, and for her first time on the Globes carpet, she wore a burgundy Marchesa gown with a low neckline and a multi-tiered skirt, the entire design covered in a floral lace-like fabric.

When it comes red carpet fashion, Zendaya has had a major year filled with memorable looks.

Last May, she made a highly anticipated return to the Met Gala after taking a brief hiatus from the star-studded event in 2019. Attending what marked her seventh time at fashion’s biggest night, Zendaya, one of the event’s co-hosts, delivered somewhat of a fashion show with her two extravagant outfit changes.

And that’s not to mention the back-to-back press tours she went on last year to promoteDune Part 2 and Challengers, the latter of which is nominated for a 2025 Golden Globe for best motion picture musical or comedy.
