Zendaya’s Oscars 2024 Look Is Shimmering, One-Shouldered Smokeshow

Finding the perfect red carpet look isn’t easy, but Zendaya’s 2024 Oscars look hit the nail on the head. How do you strike the right balance between taking a risk and landing someone’s on someone’s “Worst Dressed” list? Faced with this challenge, many celebrities play it safe—sticking to silhouettes and styling designed not to offend.

Zendaya’s red carpet looks do the opposite. The star has served notable style moments since 2012. She wore a crop top and sequin maxi skirt to the 2022 Oscars—and hit the afterparty in an unmissable suit. Her look to the 2024 Oscars this year, was just as jaw dropping.

Dune: Part Two star Zendaya’s 2024 Oscars look is a silk Giorgio Armani Privé dress covered in show stopping sparkles. While Zendaya isn’t nominated for an Oscar this year, she’s been named one of the presenters—alongside other fan favorites, like Bad Bunny and Kate McKinnon. The star has attended the Oscars several times before: alongside the cast of Dune in 2022, as a presenter in 2021 and 2018, and as a “plus one of a plus one” (her words) way back in 2015.

Zendaya has stepped foot on a number of red carpets—most recently hitting New York City’s Dune 2 premiere in a white gown with geometric cutouts and sculptural detailing. Even more notably, she showed up to the film’s London premiere in a metal robot suit with see-through butt cutouts. (We meant it when we said Zendaya doesn’t play it safe.)

Zendaya’s red carpet history is long, storied, and full of style moments worth celebrating. In honor of her 2024 Oscars look, we’re reliving some of Zendaya’s best red carpet looks to date.
