Zendaya went from Disney child star to fashion icon. Here's how her style has evolved.

At just 14 years old, Zendaya — who had just landed her role in Disney's "Shake It Up" — appeared at the "You Again" movie premiere wearing cut-off shorts, three shirts, and a hat.

At this point, the teenager was still finding her style.

Then 15, Zendaya was nominated for best performance by a youth in a TV program at the event. Her red-carpet appearance marked the beginning of Zendaya's transition from child star to bonafide actress and style icon.

She chose the gold, pleated Reem Acra skirt and white button-down shirt for the Teen Vogue Hollywood Party.

She wore the outfit to the American Music Awards.

Zendaya chose a bold print by Etro while promoting her book, "Between U and Me: How to Rock Your Tween Years with Style and Confidence," in New York City.

Elizabeth Denton at Seventeen wrote Zendaya is a "stylish star" and a "style chameleon" after her appearance at the BET Awards.

Zendaya "rocked a blue Letterman jacket with a matching high-waisted skirt and a black bandeau top, accessorizing the sporty-cool look with sky-high heels, a baseball cap, and two long braids," Denton wrote.

She wore a metallic trench coat and pants by Georgine.

"I like to have fun at these award shows, just fun with fashion in general," she added during an interview with Billboard on the red carpet. "It's not something to be afraid of."

"I've always wanted to cut my hair and it's one of those things that I've always told my fans," she told ET on the red carpet. "I didn't really cut my hair so don't freak out. But I had to try it. I had to at least feel it out, you know what I'm saying? Try it on for size."

She wore a Vivienne Westwood gown to the event.

Just days after sporting a pixie cut at the AMAs, Zendaya wore dreadlocks to the Oscars. Giuliana Rancic, a host of E!'s "Fashion Police," sparked controversy when she said she felt Zendaya "smells like patchouli ... or weed."

People on social media were quick to call out Rancic's racist comments, and Zendaya defended herself on social media, calling Rancic's comments "ignorant slurs and pure disrespect."

Zendaya continued, "Locs are a symbol of strength and beauty, almost like a lion's mane."

Rancic later apologized on-air.

Her yellow shirt and striped pencil skirt were also standouts.

It was just one of six different looks that night.

In 2015, the Met Gala was themed "China: Through the Looking Glass," and Zendaya wore this Fausto Puglisi gown. In an interview for Vogue, André Leon Talley called the look "beautiful."

"Paying homage to the late great David Bowie on the biggest night in music, the young style chameleon channeled his androgynous style in her borrowed-from-the-boys suiting," Marjon Carlos at Vogue wrote in 2016.

The look confirmed Zendaya isn't afraid to think outside the box.

Avery Matera at Teen Vogue wrote Zendaya was "looking like an actual piece of candy: more specifically, a Hershey Kiss." Matera added, "Odd as that reference might sound, she looked more elegant than ever."

For the "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" theme of the night, Zendaya decided to dress up as Joan of Arc.

"Her custom metallic Versace gown features an armored neck-and-shoulder piece, sparkling chainmail, a spiked belt, and a modest train," Julie Kosin at Harper's Bazaar wrote at the time. "Zendaya also adopted a cropped wig in the style of The Maid of Orléans' famous bob."

For the theme "Camp: Notes on Fashion," Zendaya dressed as Cinderella, and her gown lit up.

Insider's Anneta Konstantinides noted at the time that the actress appeared to take inspiration from the DC Comics character Poison Ivy with her red hair and emerald green dress. Law Roach, Zendaya's stylist, seemingly confirmed the connection as he posted pictures of Poison Ivy on his Instagram story.

"Zendaya sported a hot-pink breastplate by Tom Ford for the awards show, looking every bit the intergalactic warrior woman," Insider's Anneta Konstantinides wrote.

The bright yellow dress was custom Valentino, and she paired it with Bulgari jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels.

"Zendaya has had major fashion moments at the Oscars for years, and tonight just adds to her history," Alyssa Bailey at Elle wrote in 2021.
