Discover how Zendaya’s latest red carpet appearance wearing her hair in a “slept-in” ballerina bun is breaking boundaries and setting trends.
Zendaya, the 27-year-old Hollywood sensation, has been turning heads with her jaw-dropping looks throughout her global press tour for “Challengers.” From dramatic hair color transformations (that gorgeous honey blonde definitely went on our spring mood board) to fantasy-worthy hairstyles, she’s been serving up major style inspiration left and right. But at the premiere in Los Angeles, Zendaya took things to a whole new level.
To be more precise: a ballerina bun, but with a twist. Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Ursula Stephen, described the look as “undone” and “whimsical,” giving it an airy texture that’s both cute and practical. It’s the kind of hairstyle that screams effortless elegance, perfect for those days when you want to look put together without trying too hard.
But what really sets Zendaya’s bun apart? It’s the fact that she embraced her natural texture, leaving her baby hairs wispy and undone instead of slicking them back. For Black women, especially those with curly or kinky hair, this is a game-changer. It’s proof that messy buns can be just as chic and formal as sleek updos, challenging outdated beauty norms one red carpet at a time.
Another round of applause to Zendaya’s outfit – a lingerie-inspired Vera Wang gown that oozed sophistication and glamour. With a black corseted bodice and a voluminous ballerina pink skirt, she exuded confidence and grace with every step. Minimal accessories and simple diamond earrings completed the look, letting her natural beauty shine through.
But here’s the best part: Zendaya’s bun isn’t just for the red carpet. It’s a versatile style that works for any occasion, whether you’re hitting the town or lounging at home. So next time you’re having a greasy hair day, take a page out of Zendaya’s playbook and embrace the messy bun – you’ll thank us later!
