Zendaya Has a Millennial Barbie Red Carpet Moment

Millennial pink is here to stay: Everyone from Gigi Hadid to Kendall Jenner has been putting a youthful spin on the ubiquitous hue. Earlier this week, Hadid infamously dressed up like Millennial Barbie in pink leather pants and a matching jacket, like the real-life version of the SoCal Gigi Hadid Barbie doll released last fall. Now, Zendaya is following in her footsteps with the red carpet complement. (It’s only fitting, considering that Zendaya was made into her own Zendaya Barbie doll, too.)


At the world premiere of Spider-Man: Homecoming in Hollywood, the star hit a high note in custom Ralph & Russo. The electric pink was eye-catching, but the dress’s cut really amped up the statement factor with its plunging neckline down the pleated bodice and a thigh slit cut up to there. A matching scarf tied around the neck trailed behind her—perfect for exiting the premiere in, say a Barbie-pink convertible—while Casadei’s matching pointed-toe heels made for the ultimate fashion-fantasy finish.
