Zendaya has once again made a statement on the red carpet on Wednesday night at the 2021 CFDA Fashion Awards. This year, the “Dune” actress was awarded with the Fashion Icon trophy from iconic model Iman, who received the honor in 2010.
For the occasion, Zendaya wore a custom Vera Wang ensemble that featured a red bandeau top and a peplum-style skirt that hid her red heels.
Zendaya, who works in collaboration with stylist Law Roach, seemingly can’t miss when it comes to her red carpet style and lived up to her Fashion Icon honor at the CFDA Awards.
Last month, Zendaya wowed at the 2021 WIF Honors at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, wearing a dress straight off the runway from Paris Fashion Week. She could be seen in a Loewe spring ’22 look that featured distinctive brass plates on the upper half of the dress while the rest was made out of a gray knit-like material. To complete the outfit, she wore matching Christian Louboutin gold pumps
