Paris Fashion Week has its fair share of star-studded moments, but few entrances feel quite as electric as Zendaya’s. The Emmy-winning actress and Louis Vuitton ambassador made her highly anticipated arrival at the maison’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation, stepping out in a look that felt equal parts futuristic and festive.
Arriving at the Louvre, Zendaya shimmered in a metallic silver coatdress that doubled as a mini, styled by her longtime collaborator Law Roach. The eye-catching piece was made from a crinkled, aluminum-like fabric, catching every flashbulb and beam of morning light. A row of bow closures lined the front, while the silhouette was finished with a high collar and dramatic white fur cuffs. The details hinted at winter holiday glamour, while the abbreviated hemline kept the look firmly in Spring/Summer territory.
The actress completed the ensemble with pointed silver pumps, letting the monochrome metallic palette take center stage. With no visible accessories, Zendaya leaned into the power of restraint—allowing the texture and shine of her coatdress to carry the look. Her hair and makeup were equally understated, offering a clean canvas that emphasized the fashion statement.
The Euphoria star’s appearance had been teased just the day before, when Louis Vuitton released a short clip showing Zendaya being hand-delivered an invitation to the show. Captioned “A prelude of wonder, with House Ambassador Zendaya,” the teaser only heightened anticipation around her Fashion Week presence.
Zendaya first joined Louis Vuitton as a global ambassador in 2023, fronting the campaign for the maison’s Capucines bag. Since then, she has become one of the brand’s most influential faces, starring in high-profile shoots like the Riviera-set LV x Haruki Murakami anniversary campaign. She has also worn Vuitton for some of her most iconic red-carpet moments, from the Met Gala to major film premieres.
What makes Zendaya such a powerful Louis Vuitton muse is her ability to embody the brand’s duality: heritage and experimentation. She is a method dresser, known for tailoring her looks to the moment—whether it’s a futuristic minidress for Paris Fashion Week, a sculptural gown for the Oscars, or sharp tailoring for a press tour. With every appearance, she transforms, proving why she has become a generational style icon.
At the Spring/Summer 2026 show, Zendaya didn’t just show up as a guest—she arrived as a reminder of the maison’s ability to merge fashion with spectacle. Her silver mini was a statement in reinvention, turning a coat into couture and reimagining metallics for daytime wear.
As Paris Fashion Week continues, her appearance has set the tone for celebrity arrivals: dramatic, unexpected, and unapologetically glamorous. And once again, Zendaya demonstrated that when she’s in the room, the runway is only part of the show.
