Zendaya Shines in Cate Blanchett’s Stunning Armani Gown at ‘The Drama’ Premiere
Zendaya recently paid tribute to a bridal tradition by donning “something borrowed” during the press tour for her film, The Drama.
The 29-year-old actress graced the event in a sophisticated Giorgio Armani dress previously worn by Cate Blanchett at the film’s premiere in Rome on March 26. The elegant black gown featured a plunging neckline embellished with shimmering stones and a mermaid skirt accentuated with pockets.
To elevate her look, Zendaya accessorized with striking diamond stud earrings from Louis Vuitton. Her beauty routine included radiant skin, sculpted eyebrows, rosy eyeshadow, flushed cheeks, and pink, lined lips. Her hair, parted to the side, cascaded in loose waves, framing her face gracefully.
Her stylist, Law Roach, confirmed on social media that Zendaya wore the same Armani gown that Blanchett showcased at the 2025 Venice Film Festival and the 2022 Actor Awards, formerly referred to as the SAG Awards. “Zendaya wearing the @giorgioarmani gown and @louisvuitton high jewels worn first by the amazing Cate Blanchett #somethingborrowed,” Roach posted on Instagram, adding a reel comparing both actresses in the stunning design, remarking, “It’s like Deja Vu.”

Blanchett first showcased the dress in 2022, pairing it with black rings, pointed-toe heels, and dangling earrings. She completed her look with smokey eyes, pink lips, and tousled curls. The actress later wore the gown again three years later at the La Grazia premiere during the 2025 Venice Film Festival, this time accessorizing similarly to Zendaya but styling her blonde hair into beachy waves.
Zendaya’s choice of attire comes amidst speculation about her relationship with Tom Holland, with rumors swirling that the couple may have secretly wed following their engagement over a year ago. Earlier this month, Roach hinted to Access Hollywood during the 2026 Actor Awards that “the wedding already happened.”
When questioned about his comment, Roach confirmed, “It’s very true.” Zendaya humorously addressed the marriage rumors during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, sharing a playful video featuring Holland’s face superimposed onto her costar Robert Pattinson’s during a wedding scene. “It was a beautiful day… That was real footage,” she joked. “That was real! I was there.”
