At the premiere of “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” on Broadway, Roach discussed the approach they took for Zendaya’s upcoming appearances in the lead-up to the film’s release. “It’s about the storytelling,” he shared during a conversation with PEOPLE. The film, produced by A24 and featuring Robert Pattinson alongside Zendaya, centres around an engaged couple navigating the turmoil that follows a significant revelation.
In keeping with the movie’s wedding theme, Zendaya, 28, has made a splash on the red carpet with a variety of bridal-inspired outfits. Her repertoire features not only classic bridal whites but also elements capturing the essence of the traditional rhyme “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”
“This old tradition is something many brides incorporate into their big day,” Roach noted, highlighting how this creative concept added depth to the promotional campaign. The stylist explained that the idea of incorporating these elements stemmed from their desire to enhance the overarching narrative of the film.
Fans can expect further showstopping creations as Zendaya prepares for a busy year ahead, which includes the release of “Euphoria” Season 3, “Dune: Part Three,” “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” and “The Odyssey.” However, when asked for insights on future fashion statements, Roach remained coy, offering no hints about what to expect down the line.
During the same evening of the Cats premiere, Zendaya unveiled another stunning look at the Season 3 premiere of “Euphoria.” Wearing a backless halter gown from the Ashi Studio’s Spring 2026 couture collection, she made a striking impression. The dress was paired with matching brown pointed-toe heels and minimal jewellery, including Chopard diamond hoop earrings and exquisite rings, one of which is her five-carat engagement ring from Tom Holland.
As she kicked off the promotional activities for “The Drama,” Zendaya donned her “something old” by wearing a white Vivienne Westwood gown first showcased at the 2015 Oscars during the Los Angeles premiere on March 17. Her appearance in Paris featured a long-sleeved bridal white gown from Nicolas Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton, complemented by a black bow that added a dramatic flair – her nod to “something new.”
The “something borrowed” element made its entrance during the premiere in Rome, where Zendaya attracted attention in a black Giorgio Armani Privé gown previously worn by Cate Blanchett at the 2025 Venice Film Festival. “When this whole idea came together, she was one of the first people I thought of,” Zendaya remarked during her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” reflecting on the initial inspiration behind her choice.
Lastly, her fashion tour culminated in New York City with a stunning Schiaparelli gown made from thousands of hand-dyed silk feathers, a piece that debuted during Paris Fashion Week. The vibrant blue accents of this ensemble beautifully embodied the “something blue” tradition, enhancing its connection to the wedding motif.
“It was an immediate favourite from the fashion house’s January haute couture show,” Zendaya revealed, explaining that she and Roach instantly recognised it as their ideal “something blue.” With such creativity and storytelling behind her sartorial choices, Zendaya continues to redefine what it means to captivate audiences on the red carpet. As the promotional cycle unfolds, fashion enthusiasts and fans alike will be keeping a close eye on what this trendsetting actress will unveil next.
