Who's That Girl?: Zendaya

This sweet sixteen year-old is not only the most stylish young starlets out right now, but also one of the busiest ones. She wrapped Dancing With The Stars and is set to debut an album and a new book.

Tomboy-Chic

During BET’s 106 & Park prom themed segment, Zendaya showed she isn’t a follower when it comes to fashion. The starlet opted for a sharp menswear tuxedo instead of the typical prom dress.

Bright Young Thing

What a bright idea for the fashionista to pair this marigold belted Prada dress with cobalt Giuseppe Zanotti’s!

Flower Power

When the actress hit the Radio Disney carpet in this Juicy Couture short suit and Gucci ankle strap sandals we were officially sold on her style. The look was sleek and sophisticated but with a touch of whimsy.

Pastel Pretty

The more casual side of the starlet finds her in a pastel print SUNO tunic and slouchy trousers with Jimmy Choo neon pink pumps during an appearance on Extra. The high bun and hoop earrings give the look a little extra attitude, which we love.

Floral Fresh

The fashionista mixes a little sugar and spice in a voluminous pastel Alice+Olivia dress, American Apparel sweatshirt with a bedazzled collar, finished with a hot pair of Ruthi Davis gladiator platforms.

Silver Metal

At the 16th Annual ‘Friends and Family’ pre-grammy event Zendaya created a high-low style mix we loved. The starlet paired her own personal Disney T-shirt with a vintage lamé skirt, a Vince leather jacket and those pop-colored pumps by Jimmy Choo.

Green Envy

When Zendaya isn’t in playful prints, she’s working a statement solid piece. This emerald fit-and-flare Valentino dress is simply pretty and the snakeskin Christian Louboutin’s add just the right amount of sass.

Cat Woman

Zendaya channeled 1940’s fabulousness at the 40th Annual American Music Awards in an Alice+Olivia dress with a leopard-esque bodice, a ballerina tu-tu skirt and mesh Mary Jane’s by Louboutin.

Zendaya played with plaid perfectly, sporting a dress by designer Shoshanna and adding a dose of color with satin bubble gum pink Christian Lacroix sling backs.

Gold Star

Zendaya first caught our eye when she arrived on the red carpet at Teen VOGUE’s annual Young Hollywood event wearing a long lamé pleated skirt by Reem Acra with a button-down blouse by Dolce & Gabbana. Her best fashion moment to date!
