Zendaya Turns Spider-Man Press Tour Into a Black-and-Red Fashion Statement

Center
Translated & summarized from Ynet by baba
The story · English

The publicity tour for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," due in theaters at the end of July, began last week in Europe, bringing Zendaya and her husband, actor Tom Holland, onto the red carpet together. The couple met in 2017 on the set of "Spider-Man: Homecoming," became a couple in 2021, and recently confirmed their secret marriage. For the first time, they are promoting a film side by side as a married pair.

Zendaya, 29, leaned into the movie’s spider theme for the London premiere, wearing a black Rodarte gown decorated with a sparkling spider and web motif. Working with longtime stylist Law Roach, she has built a press-tour wardrobe centered on a tight red-and-black palette designed to project a dramatic, powerful image.

At the Madrid premiere, which launched the film’s promotional run, she wore two looks: a black fringe dress from Christian Cowan’s Fall 2026 collection, then a red turtleneck dress by Spanish designer Ernesto Naranjo. Two days later in Amsterdam, she continued the black-and-red theme in Louis Vuitton Resort 2027 pieces, including a red mini skirt, a jacket with military-style details and white Christian Louboutin shoes, finished with Tiffany jewelry and her regular Rolex. For an evening event where she greeted fans, she changed into a semi-sheer mini dress by Alexander McQueen.

The tour coincides with Zendaya and Holland’s first official public appearances as a married couple after previously avoiding high-profile joint events. Beyond shared photos, they guard their privacy closely. In March, Zendaya’s stylist was the first to reveal their marriage to the press. Holland recently told British Esquire that the industry can be "very stressful," and said it is valuable to have "a strong foundation" and support each other in a way only they can because "only we really understand what it is to live those lives."
