Zendaya knows how to make an entrance. The 28-year-old actress and Louis Vuitton ambassador showed up to the French brand’s spring 2025 show in Paris wearing a crisp suit jacket and a whimsical skirt, all complemented by a pair of elegant satin black pumps.
Zendaya, who’s dominated Hollywood this year with multiple prominent roles, looked fierce in a unique suit and skirt ensemble. The cropped black jacket featured a contrasting white lapel which was slightly upturned, contributing to the drama of the look. The jacket gathered tightly at the waist and was cinched with a single oblong button; the narrowed waist juxtaposed the blazer’s heavily padded shoulders.
Additionally, a textured brooch with the LV insignia adorned the corner of the jacket, providing a bold pop of color which matched the multi-hyphenate’s statement red lip. Zendaya’s skirt, meanwhile, was a structured cream-colored garment designed with many abstract folds to create a rounded silhouette with an asymmetrical hemline.

While Zendaya’s blazer and skirt played with proportion, she went with a classic design for her footwear — she slipped on a pair of black satin pumps with a significant stiletto heel. The shoes featured a pointed toe and a steeply sloped sole, creating a striking silhouette. Like a traditional pump, the upper covered the sides and back of the foot as well as the toes. With a subtle shine, they complemented Zendaya’s black purse and grounded the outfit in a sense of timeless sophistication.
Zendaya knows all about the nuances of walking in pumps. Working alongside stylist Law Roach, she embraces method dressing for her press tours, impeccably aligning her outfits to the themes of her films. For Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers,” she frequently appeared in a white So Kate pump by Christian Louboutin to match her tennis-inspired ensembles. Another notable footwear moment from that tour was her custom Loewe white pump which featured a tennis ball on the heel.
The actress is deeply immersed in the world of fashion. In addition to representing Louis Vuitton, she is also an ambassador for Swiss running brand On.
