Just days after her surprise return to music, Zendaya made a striking appearance in a couture ensemble as she received a prestigious award. Her stunning outfit captured everyone’s attention and added to the excitement of the occasion.
The 26-year-old A-lister certainly knew how to make an entrance as she was presented with the Star of the Year award at the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards in Las Vegas on Thursday evening.
The event is held to ‘single out the achievements and great work of actors, actresses and filmmakers alike,’ and ‘the awards accord the global theatrical exhibition industry the opportunity to say thank you for bringing the best in filmmaking to their screens.’
Zendaya looked fashionable as always in a light brown leather and lace Versace dress featuring a split on the back, while the skirt featured a rose pattern all over it.
She teamed the look with a pair of pointy-toed leather heels which matched the belted top of the frock, which resembled a backward corset.
