Zendaya Never Fails to Stun in Exemplary Diamond Jewelry
The actress and fashion icon never fails to stun with her natural diamond jewels on the red carpet and beyond.
When it comes to natural diamonds on the red carpet, no one does it quite like Zendaya. As a Bulgari ambassador since 2020, she has had access to a treasure trove of epic natural diamond pieces. With help from her longtime image architect, Law Roach, each of her diamond-studded red carpet looks has left jaws on the floor. It doesn’t hurt that she’s an incredibly talented actress, starring in some of the biggest movies and TV shows of the year, from HBO’s Euphoria to the Dune film franchise.
Zendaya’s career started like those of many child stars on the Disney Channel. She starred as Rocky Blue on the hit show Shake It Up from 2010 to 2013 and on K.C. Undercover as the titular K.C. Cooper. Even from a young age, she was walking red carpets in head-turning outfits, a style star in the making.
