Style Queens: Zendaya

Welcome back to my blog and today I want to start a new series I'm calling Style Queens. I am currently studying Fashion so this seemed pretty fitting for a fashion student to do. I love makeup, I really do but I also love Fashion so I want to start incorporating that into my blog. 

So the honour of my debut for the Style Queens goes to Zendaya! She is a queen and right now, the world is her oyster. She's recently launched her own footwear line with footwear company Titan Industries naming her collection, Daya By Zendaya. I like it! As you may know, she is also a singer-songwriter and an actress in Disney shows such as KC Undercover and Shake It Up. 

I absolutely love her style and alongside that, her hair styles and her makeup too. She's a real beauty and if I were to ever meet her, I would fan girl so much I might even faint (but i'll try to play it cool, as you do).

Here are my top 5 looks that Zendaya did during last year and the beginning of this year. I love her style but by far, theses are my top favourite looks that she does and if I were to ever look half as good as her then I will die a happy woman. 

1. Met Gala 2015
Okay, first of all, DAMN, girlfriend! You are looking smokin-, I mean you look gorgeous! So to start off, the inspiration behind the met gala was a Chinese theme and Zendaya slayed that scene with a modernized  deep v necked velvet strapped top attached to a silk red skirt with a long trail. What made this outfit Chinese inspired were the little details such as her head piece which if I'm not mistaken is traditional what they would wear on special occasion and the print design on her skirt. It is known that China is very symbolic and every symbol has its own meaning. I tried to find the specific meaning to her one but the best that I found talks about how the sun symbol is immortality.  She also has some rustic antique looking jewelry pieces with a bangle and an arm cuff. Not to mention that the side of the trail has a zig-zag pattern in black and white.


2. Golden Globes 2016
This is such a gorgeous look, she made that dress look beautiful. The lace dress have a deep v neck and is strapless, It also has three layers of ruffles that have been pleated slightly to give it more volume. I love the dark maroon shade she went for and her hair and make up complimented the outfit. I just love her! She's amazing. (Dreamy sigh).

3. Beauty Con 2015
This is such a stunning look, so casual yet so fierce. So, she's wearing a strapless tight fitted crop top which has this sort of marbled design printed on it and the light lavender blue helps give that illusion. The print is also on thee jacket that around her shoulders and she's also wearing a knee length skirt that has a slit at the side and a pair of blue strappy heels. I think this can look casual and formal but somehow she does both. She's amazing! I also just wanted to mention that she's also now part of Cover Girl! Whoop Whoop! 

4. Harper Bazaar 2015 
She slayed this magazine editorial. This is probably the look I loved the most! The outfit itself, makes me think of very traditional African prints. I love the colour combinations of having similar colours of dark green, navy and teal with a nice pop of yellow to give it contrast. The skirt is high low with a lot of pleats. The top also has the same print as the skirt but it perceives to be a wrap that gives her an off shoulder look as well. Her curly voluminous hair adds to the look along side the cute handbag. 

5. Material Girl 2015 
This is a super body flattering look that I absolutely love. I know that Zendaya is very opinionated when it comes to her images in magazines where she has declared that no photo-shopping should take place on her body and I thank her tremendously for the courage she has to stand up to the people who make women feel like their body is inadequate. I feel as though, blue is a colour that really compliments Zendaya. This is a printed body con dress with straps and a slit in the middle of skirt. The print has been complimented with a black border around it which accentuates her features. 

I love everything that Zendaya is doing and I couldn't be more proud of her for all that she has achieved. Keep Slaying, Princess and show 'em whose boss!
