  • Zendaya flew all the way to India to attend the NMACC Gala, and wow, she looked magnificent. (No surprises there!)

  • The Dune actress stunned in the prettiest lehenga you ever did see: It was intricate AF and showed off her epic abs.

  • To keep as fit as she is, Zendaya maintains a vegetarian diet.


It’s pretty much a given that, when Zendaya hits any red carpet, she’s going to create a moment—and an event she hit up this weekend was no exception.

Zendaya attended the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre's gala in India with boyfriend Tom Holland, wearing a stunning violet lehenga (with saree vibes) by Rahul Mishra. The 'fit was pretty much everything, with intricate embroidery throughout the piece, along with a gold top that showcased her seriously toned abs and arms. Zendaya shared a ton of photos in her Instagram Stories, so she was clearly feeling it (as she should).

Zendaya has been open in the past about kinda-totally not loving to exercise, but she still puts in the work. She even shared on The Late Show that she’ll wear wigs and get into character to try to pump herself up for sweat sessions—something she started doing during the height of the pandemic. “To inspire me to go downstairs and work out, I would wear different wigs, because I have a whole collection of wigs from all the red carpets that I've done," she shared. Zendaya said she’d toss on a wig and pretend to be a character to try to entertain her assistant and workout partner Darnell Appling.

But Zendaya previously admitted that she hasn’t always been the strongest. She played a trapeze artist in The Greatest Showman and told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that she needed to build up her strength. In fact, she said that she “did not have any” upper body strength, but had to get fit for her role. “It was a lot of training—literally just getting up there and going for it,” she said. Zendaya also told the TODAY show that she focused on her upper body and core strength for the role.) I'd say she nailed it:

Zendaya also just gets her heart rate up being out and about—she has plenty of Instagram videos and photos of herself hiking with her dog, Noony.

On the food front, Zendaya is a vegetarian who is big into breakfast foods—just not at breakfast time. “I'll eat breakfast food, but it must have some Nutella on it: pancakes, berries, and Nutella,” she previously told Harper’s Bazaar. Dinner is usually something that she orders which, fair. She’s Zendaya, after all.

Keep doing you, Zendaya!
