Zendaya attended the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14, 2026, wearing a custom bejeweled Prada gown, Mikimoto pearls, and a Rolex watch.
Custom Prada and Mikimoto Pearls Define the Red Carpet Look
Zendaya stepped onto the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles wearing a nude-toned tulle dress custom-designed by Prada. The semi-sheer gown featured crystal and bead embroidery, a plunging neckline, a fitted waist, and a column skirt that flowed into a short train. The outfit incorporated an archival silk duchesse belt featuring crystals and teardrop pendants from the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection.
Styled by Law Roach, the actor completed her attire with pale pink satin stiletto pumps that subtly matched the tulle trim lining the neckline and sleeves. Her accessories included a Rolex timepiece and pieces from Mikimoto’s Petals collection, featuring Les Pétales Place Vendôme White South Sea cultured pearl earrings surrounded by 4.4 carats of diamonds, alongside a ring with a 13-mm pearl and 3.42 carats of diamonds, another ring with a 12-mm pearl and 1.84 carats of diamonds, and a pearl and diamond floral motif bracelet. There’s an elegance to pearls that will always be classic, but the way Zendaya wears them tonight feels completely of the moment,
Roach said of the star’s jewelry choices.
Late ’90s Red Carpet Glamour Shapes the Beauty Routine
Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas and hairstylist Coree Moreno collaborated on a natural look inspired by the sparkle of the Prada gown. I was inspired by all the sparks in the dress,
Casillas says of Zendaya’s custom Prada. Casillas utilized Prada Light Glowing Highlighting Touch Powder and two Touch Blush shades—Tulip and Cherry—to get the look, describing the result as sexy and sophisticated with eye and lip styling drawn directly from late ’90s red carpet aesthetics, according to Vogue.
The finishing touch involved a spritz of Prada Beauty’s newest fragrance, Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry, a scent the star describes as sweet without being overbearing.
(Zendaya is the face of the campaign.) It’s a fun bit of synergy for the newlywed, too—husband Tom Holland is the face of Prada’s men’s fragrance, Paradigme. For her hair, Zendaya debuted a new pixie cut, keeping it simple and styling her hair straight into a Halle Berry-esque coif.
Tom Holland Joins for a Milestone Emmys Date Night
Inside the Peacock Theater, Zendaya and husband Tom Holland sat together for their first Emmys date night, and cameras captured some sweet moments during the ceremony. While Zendaya walked the red carpet solo in her Prada gown, Holland attended his first-ever Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony wearing a Dior look for the milestone occasion.
The couple’s joint appearance follows a joint red carpet appearance in July when they were promoting their films, The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Speaking about navigating their careers together, Holland told Esquire UK in June that Zendaya is his best friend, and he feels incredibly fortunate to navigate the acting industry alongside her. Our business can present very stressful situations, and it’s really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time,
he explained. “We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it’s like to live this life, and I think that is such a luxury, because I just don’t understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else. So, for me, I found my person. She’s my best friend, and I’m the happiest I ever have been…”
Category Contention and the Final Season of Euphoria
Zendaya did not win what would have been her third Emmy for Euphoria on Monday night, arriving at the 78th ceremony nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Rue in the final season of Euphoria. Having won the category in each of the show’s two previous seasons, she did not take home the trophy this year.
Alongside her nomination, Zendaya took the stage during the ceremony for both business and pleasure: as well as her acting nomination, she was also slated to present the award for best comedy actress. The appearance marks another high-profile stop in an omnipresent year for the actress, thanks to the marathon release strategy that gave us The Drama, The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Euphoria’s final season all within months of each other. This will almost certainly continue in the weeks and months ahead, as Dune: Part Three, the final Zendaya-starring movie set for a 2026 release, will soon start ramping up its rollout, all while awards season speculation intensifies, though Zendaya has indicated an openness to stepping away for a bit after such a busy stretch.
