Zendaya’s look was a fashion history lesson, referencing Zelda Wynn Valdes. Valdes was a designer who is credited with designing the Playboy costume and dressed the likes of Joyce Bryant. Zendaya’s hair seemed to also be a reference to Joyce Bryant’s signature style.

Zendaya didn’t make fans wait long to see her first major red carpet look of the new year. At tonight’s Golden Globes, the Challengers actress arrived in a glamorous burnt-orange ball gown.

Red carpets are so back. And by that I mean Zendaya just arrived at the 2025 Golden Globes wearing an incredible burnt orange gown with emerald jewelry, styled by Law Roach, and it was a MOMENT.
