Zendaya always understands the assignment. Between chill lunch dates with her bf Tom Holland to pulling out all the stops on the red carpet with her stylist, Law Roach, there isn't a Zendaya look that we don't L-O-V-E — but her most recent ensemble miiiiight just be a new personal favorite.

The Euphoria actress had all eyes on her while walking the red carpet at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) Gala in Mumbai, India. She looked powerful in a gorgeous sari designed by Indian designer Rahul Mishra, which she paired with a gold bralette embellished with metallic birds. The deep, midnight blue sari was embroidered with sparkling stars and shimmer to mimic the twinkle of the night sky, and the long train was decorated with various garden animals. Um, consider us shook.

Zendaya piled on the bling with some traditional gold bangles stacked on her wrist, as well as a pair of gold stud earrings and a statement cocktail ring.

An Instagram DM conversation that Zendaya had with a fan revealed that the actress did her own makeup for the event. "Did you do your own makeup? If so - it looks amazing 😍" wrote the fan. "Yes I did ❤️😊 Thank you," Zendaya wrote back.

Zendaya attended the event as the plus-one of her longtime stylist, Law Roach. However, Law revealed in an Instagram Story that he acted as Z's creative director, rather than stylist, and let the Rahul Mishra team style her instead. Law even joked about Zendaya being *his* stylist in a sweet IG video where she helped him adjust his accessories on the carpet, captioning the vid, "The sweetest moments …. My stylist fixing @bulgari necklace!!! 🐍🐍🐍"

Tom Holland walked the NMACC Gala red carpet separately from Zendaya and wore a simple black tux. The couple has been dating since 2021 when those steamy car kissing photos leaked and their relationship (and friendship <3) is total goals. Although they didn't pose together on the carpet, they did fly into Mumbai together and even spent some time on a chartered yacht before the big event.

The midnight color scheme and constellation-inspired designs on Zendaya's sari are literal prom perfection — here are some of our fave gowns inspired by Z's red carpet look.
