A celebration of the best and brightest creators of color within the fashion space, ESSENCE’s inaugural Best in Black Fashion Awards shines a light on top designers, stylists, photographers, models and insiders who made an impact in 2019. The star-studded roster of honorees and nominees will gather at a pre-NY Fashion Week dinner.

Meet our 2019 Influencer Award Nominee, Zendaya

One thing is for certain, Zendaya is booked and busy. For the first part of the year the actress was pretty quiet, but with two major projects out – Spiderman: Far From Home in theatres and Euphoria on HBO, she has made multiple appearances within the last month. And to no surprise the Euphoria star has brought her best looks every step of the way. Accompanied by a new auburn hair color, Zendaya’s most recent fashion moments include a Georges Hobeika gown, custom Armani outfit, and an Alexandre Vauthier suit.
