It’s not hard to tell that we love us some Zendaya. The 19-year-old phenom—whose red carpet style recently stunned us at Paris Fashion Week—is an entrepreneur on the rise. Here are 11 reasons why Daya’s hustle deserves your respect.
As if she wasn’t fabulous enough, now we can expect even more hairstyle switch-ups from the style savvy star. Zendaya is the first-ever celebrity brand ambassador for hair care and styling brand CHI. Anyone else up for learning hair tips, styles and for hearing Zendaya’s personal hair story? We are!
From the Met Gala to her 2015 Oscars appearance, Zendaya has never failed at showing up and showing out on the red carpet. Get it girl! (Here are 40 favorite looks!)
The day Zendaya stunned the world in an elegant satin gown and glorious locs must have been the day Mattel decided to create a Barbie in this beauty’s image.
In partnership with footwear company Titan Industries, the actress/singer launched her footwear line Daya by Zendaya and it is set to hit stores next spring. The young star aims to provide fans with an opportunity to replicate Zendaya’s style at a realistic price. We are SO here for that!
Zendaya posted this picture to Instagram and captioned it, “Love supporting positive things like this… #watchhungerstop @michaelkors.” Not only is the actress supporting Michael Kors’ new campaign (for every watch sold, 100 children will receive a nutritious meal from the World Food Programme), but she is also the ambassador of Convoy of Hope. Convoy of Hope is a faith-based nonprofit organization geared towards providing food and hope to impoverished communities. Zendaya is obviously the true MVP.
From checking Giuliana Rancic’s ignorance and schooling the world on locs to using her social media presence for light, fun and positivity, Zendaya is wise beyond her years and we appreciate her for it.
It only makes sense for this fresh-faced beauty to also be the spokesperson for X-Out, an all-in-one facial treatment from the makers of Proactiv. Though, we must admit, it’s hard to believe that Zendaya’s radiant skin has ever been capable of a break out.
Off of her eponymous debut album, Zendaya’s hit track “Replay” is fun and lively and coupled with the best visual of Zendaya serving us edgy and spicy choreographed moves. Not to mention, she was nominated in the 2014 NAACP Image Awards for ‘Outstanding New Artist.’ Yes Daya girl!
Zendaya is 16-year-old K.C. Cooper onscreen but behind the camera she is Ms. Co-Executive Producer of Disney Channel’s number one ranked show, K.C. Undercover.
Slicked-up ponytail. Luscious locs. Beach wave frenzy. This young starlet does not only rock it all, but also rocks it very well. Hat tip to Zendaya please. (Here are our favorite hairstyles.)
In 2013, Zendaya authored the book, “Between U and Me: How to Rock Your Tween Years with Style and Confidence.” Is she the perfect role model or what?
