Zendaya Dazzles at ‘The Drama’ Premiere in 2015 Oscars Dress
Zendaya made a striking appearance at the premiere of “The Drama,” wearing the same iconic dress she donned during the 2015 Oscars. The Vivienne Westwood gown, which she described as her “something old,” was chosen to pay homage to both her past and the film’s wedding theme.
Inspiration Behind the Dress Choice
Zendaya shared her thought process with Variety at the premiere, stating, “I was brainstorming with [stylist Law Roach] about how I would theme my dress for this film.” She drew inspiration from the traditional Victorian wedding saying, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” This phrase resonated with her, prompting her choice to showcase a gown with significant sentimental value.
