Zendaya attended the Rome premiere of her new film 'The Drama' in a black Armani Privé gown that was identical to one previously worn by Cate Blanchett at the 2025 Venice Film Festival. Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach, confirmed that the dress was 'borrowed' from Blanchett, continuing Zendaya's trend of strategic outfit repeating for her film's promotional tour.
Why it matters

This shift reflects a broader change in the entertainment industry towards more environmentally conscious and thoughtful celebrity style.
The details
The black Armani Privé gown featured an embellished and low scoop neck, as well as a structural waist. Zendaya previously rewore a white Vivienne Westwood dress from the 2015 Oscars for the Los Angeles premiere of 'The Drama', calling it her 'something old'.
