Zendaya Coleman stated her case once again, reminding us why the fashion icon accolade has her name written all over it.
In October, The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. (CFDA) Fashion Awards announced that the 25-year-old star would be crowned 2021's Fashion Icon at the glamorous award ceremony. She wore a two-piece crimson silk faille ensemble, a narrow skirt with an asymmetric hand draped bubble waist, and a bandeau bra.
The unpredictable red gown was designed by Vera Wang.
A significant award of the night is the Fashion Icon award presented to a person whose impact has been groundbreaking therein, amplifying the global impact CFDA seeks to have. Zendaya will be crowned Fashion Icon at this year's awards. We can't wait to see what she will be wearing on the night, but until then, we feast on awardees looks from previous years.
