Although she’s only 20 years old, Zendaya must be familiar with the Angelina Jolie slit. At the 2012 Oscars, the actress boldly wore a velvet Atelier Versace dress cut up to there and made red carpet history, an iconic fashion moment that spans generations. But how does a young starlet rework the eyebrow-raising look for the millennial set? For Zendaya, it comes down to an innate understanding of good styleYesterday in Madrid, Zendaya dropped by a Spider-Man: Homecoming photocall in a fun and flirty slip dress by Jonathan Simkhai. The asymmetric silhouette felt like a modern interpretation of the lingerie look, and twin slashes at the front and side gave a neat sense of movement. Zendaya struck a demure pose with one ankle strategically crossed over the other, calling attention to her sequined Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik shoes, instead of a single bared leg—elegant and elevated, in one easy step.
