  • In 2021, Zendaya has continued to prove she's a fashion icon.
  • She stunned in a tan dress at the Venice Film Festival, and turned heads in a sheer look at a "Dune" after-party.

Her longtime stylist, Law Roach, shared on Instagram that the dress was a vintage piece from 1982 that he had picked from his own personal archive for Zendaya to wear.

The top was designed with a plunging neckline and the skirt had a thigh-high slit. She paired the look with Roger Vivier heels and minimal jewelry.

The actress walked the red carpet in a custom Valentino dress that she paired with Bulgari jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels. According to Elle, she wore over $6 million worth of diamonds.

In a recent interview with InStyle, Zendaya shared that all of her custom Valentino looks have a hidden tag with her name stitched onto it.

"I'll tell you what the coolest thing is," Zendaya said to InStyle's Laura Brown. "When Pierpaolo comes up with these beautiful silhouettes for me to wear, he has my name stitched on a little tag inside. So all my custom Valentino pieces have a little 'Zendaya' on them."

Pierpaolo Piccioli is currently the creative director for Valentino.

During a "Dune" press event at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, Zendaya wore a striking Valentino dress.

The dress was designed with a deep neckline, thigh-high slit, and a pink bow attached to the waistline.

Law Roach styled Zendaya's look with a black blazer over the top and matching heels.

The two-piece set was designed by Alaïa. The long-sleeve crop top had small cutouts throughout, while the statement skirt had them across the top.

At the Women in Film Honors event, Zendaya wore a metallic breastplate similar to one she wore at the Critics' Choice Awards in 2020.

The "Dune" star wore a gray Loewe dress with a striking gold asymmetrical breastplate. Loewe shared on Instagram that the breastplate was handmade in France by metal sculptors.

Roach styled the look with earrings that looked like bent pieces of metal and gold Louboutin heels.

This look was similar to the pink Tom Ford breastplate Zendaya wore as a crop top at the 2020 Critics' Choice Awards. She wore it with a floor-length, pink skirt.

At a "Dune" photo-call in London, Zendaya turned heads in a top that looked like it was made of interwoven chains.
