Zendaya set the bar so high at last year's Emmy's as a presenter in that emerald green Vera Wang ensemble, that it is no surprise that she returned to this year's Emmy's as a first-time nominee.
Due to the unfortunate circumstances of the global health crisis this year, the 2020 Emmy's ceremony was forced to go virtual due to the current health guidelines. Just because the guideline restrictions took away the red carpet doesn't mean that there would be no looks to serve, Zendaya who is nominated for "Lead Actress In A Drama Series" for her role as “Rue Bennett” on HBO's "Euphoria" stated on her most recent appearance that she was planning on dressing up while spending time with her family during the ceremony.
And serve a look she did! Ever since it was announced that Zendaya was nominated, and considering the historic implications that her win could have for being the youngest recipient of the award in the top category of the night, I just KNEW that this moment was going to go to a Black Designer. Zendaya and her Image Architect LAW Roach have been at the forefront of amplifying Black Creatives be it in fashion or art, and he Creative that I've had as a prediction was the one and only Christopher John Rogers. Christopher John Rogers has such an elaborate aesthetic for color, shape, and textures that he is one of the most exciing designers to watch right now, and will go down as one of our future contemporary greats.
His amazing rise to stardom within the past two years including winning the CFDA VOGUE Fashion Fund Award, and just last week winning the CFDA Award for Emerging Women's Wear Designer ensured that he would be a top contender to dress Zendaya for her potential Emmy's win. For what Zendaya teased as her first look of the night, Zendaya wore the Purple Moiré Printed Peplum dress from the Christopher John Rogers Fall 2020 RTW Collection. This was a perfect choice because it fits into the general color story of Euphoria.
For shoes, she opted for her favorite silhouette of shoe, the classic pointed toe pump. This time with an extra embellishment. She wore her favorite Christian Louboutin "Cristacora" Pump.
As for the jewels, the obvious choice was of course the Iconic Italian Jewelry Luxury Label BVLGARI being that Zendaya is one of their new Global Brand Ambassadors. Zendaya wore an Amethyst cushion necklace, the information provided to me by the Editor In Chief of ELLE Decor, Stellene Volandes the necklace has seven cushion cut Amethysts, eight cushion Rubellites 15 round Emeralds, and Pavé Diamonds in White Gold.
