Zendaya stole the show in a dramatic sheer gown as she joined her partner and co-star Tom Holland at the Shanghai premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The 29-year-old actress commanded attention at the star-studded event on Friday, July 24, 2026, where she celebrated the eagerly anticipated fourth instalment in Tom's Spider-Man film series.
Leaning into the movie's superhero theme, Zendaya wore an archival Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2016 Couture gown featuring a web-like black mesh design layered beneath sweeping panels of ivory fabric.

Ruched ivory fabric swept diagonally across the gown's intricately beaded bodice and gathered at her waist with a glittering embellishment, while an asymmetric black strap added another unexpected detail.

The Euphoria star appeared to channel Cleopatra with her sleek, waist-length brunette hair and strikingly short fringe. Dramatic winged eyeliner, smoky shadow and softly sculpted cheeks heightened the Egyptian queen-inspired effect, while a glossy nude lip completed her glamorous beauty look.

The pair appeared relaxed as they posed with their arms around one another before taking to the stage, where Zendaya playfully operated an oversized Spider-Man-themed clapperboard.

Zendaya and Tom first met after she auditioned to play MJ opposite his Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming. They went on to appear together in 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, with their friendship eventually blossoming into an off-screen romance.
