Zendaya Wore Atelier Versace To The ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Shanghai Premiere

Zendaya and Tom Holland touched down in Shanghai today for the next stop on the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour.

After two looks that embraced a darker, edgier glamour in New York and Mexico City, Zendaya swung back to the franchise’s signature motif in Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2016.

The design centred on a black beaded lattice that traced the body like a spider’s web, while sweeping ivory draping wrapped across the silhouette, creating a striking contrast between graphic structure and fluid softness.

The real payoff came with the Chopard spider brooch at the hip. It wasn’t sitting on the dress so much as caught within it, like a spider suspended in its own web, and the placement is what made it work.

Anchored at the hip instead of dead centre on the bodice, it wasn’t the first thing you noticed. Your eye registered the web construction and the draping before the spider revealed itself.

Alongside the Armani and Rodarte looks, this is the strongest execution of the Spider-Man brief so far. The Louis Vuitton and McQueen moments in Amsterdam nodded to the theme, but here the spider motif was woven into the couture itself, with the Chopard brooch completing the story.

I also love that she’s back to giving us a different hairstyle with each look. It adds another layer to the storytelling and keeps each appearance feeling distinct.

Stylist: Law Roach. Makeup Artist: Ernesto Casillas.
