As part of the main cast in the newest Spiderman movies, former model turned actor Zendaya, has proven her fashion chops at a young age. She rocks athleisure effortlessly and knows how to wow on the red carpet. If you’re looking for future fashion icons/legends, I’d keep an eye out for Zendaya! Here are some of her go-to styles and how to easily incorporate them into your existing wardrobe!
Looking fresh in overalls and a simple t-shirt, Zendaya makes traditional “work wear” an everyday essential! She, like many young stars, always has a few reliable jumpsuits ready to go. Whether on its own, or paired with a button down or simple tee, this is an easy trend we can all work with.

Another popular take on denim is the high waisted, raw hem, & distressed mom jean! Zendaya has been spotted in them on multiple occasions including this lovely shot of her take on Boho!
Zendaya keeps this look grounded with her raw hem jeans, while the beautiful tailored blazer & crisp white pumps elevate her to business lunch status or coffee with designer friends. I love the mixed proportions and lengths in this look! Showing off your ankles, especially in heels, defines your shape as long and lean. A good way to accent naturally narrow features while rocking those flowy boho tunics or kimonos in warmer weather.

I especially love a pair of Citizens for Humanity jeans for this look! Always super soft, they make a great addition to any wardrobe.
If you don’t already own a few pairs of light washed, high waist jeans, then please let us at SalvEdge help you! It’s clearly Zendaya’s go to and for good reason! A high waist lengthens your legs and highlights us at a naturally nipped in curve. If you want extra slimming effects just tuck in your shirt or sweater.

This stunning look may not be exactly appropriate for everyday, but is easily wearable to a special occasion dinner, cocktail party, or any sophisticated night out. Then again, if you really want to flex at your next high school reunion with this look, we won’t judge you!
The key is a very structured blouse and a statement skirt.

Even though Zendaya is a 20 something up and coming actor, the fashion inspiration we take from her is well suited to all of us. High waist jeans, tucked in tops, showing off our ankles in a beautiful pump, all help lengthen us and visually create that coveted hourglass shape. So whether you feel all the boho vibes or are 100% down for rocker bad-ass, keep your eyes on Zendaya and boldly strut like you’re the star of your own show!
