Zendaya<\/strong>\u2019s trip to Paris Fashion Week was so quick it felt like a dream. \u201cI don\u2019t think I was there long enough to get jet lag,\u201d she tells Vanity Fair.<\/em> But still, Zendaya made quite the impression sitting front row at the Louis Vuitton show, setting the internet ablaze with her bubble skirt and structured blazer\u2014although she\u2019d be the last to know it. \u201cI kind of stay away from it,\u201d she says of the online fashion discourse. \u201cI get things through secondhand information. My mom will be like, \u2018Oh my God, I loved your outfit.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Oh, you saw it?\u2019 And she\u2019d be like, \u2018Yeah, girl. What?\u2019\u201d Filling in Zendaya is a trait that runs in the family. \u201cMy grandma notoriously knows my schedule better than I do, because she follows everything about me online,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ll call her and she\u2019ll be like, \u2018Well, you actually can\u2019t come to this thing because you\u2019re shooting this on then.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018How do you know that?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Grandma certainly had her hands full keeping up with Zendaya this year. Long after establishing herself as a TV darling and taking home two leading-actress Emmys<\/a> for her role as Rue in Euphoria<\/a>,<\/em> Zendaya proved she\u2019s a bona fide movie star. In March, she reprised her role as Chani, the rebellious love interest to Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/strong>\u2019s messianic Paul for part two of Denis Villeneuve<\/strong>\u2019s Oscar-winning sci-fi franchise, Dune<\/a>.<\/em> Just two months later, she served, both physically and metaphorically, in Luca Guadagnino<\/strong>\u2019s Challengers<\/a>.<\/em> That movie was a grand slam\u2014the rare critical and commercial success that exceeded expectations at the box office (to date, it\u2019s made almost $100 million worldwide on a $55 million budget).<\/em> As teen tennis star turned messy professional coach Tashi Duncan, Zendaya commanded both the screen and her sparring partners, Art Donaldson (Mike Faist<\/strong>) and Patrick Zweig (Josh O\u2019Connor<\/strong><\/a>), as the focal point of the summer\u2019s hottest love triangle<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019ve been really lucky with is working with great filmmakers and great collaborators, people who really support your ideas, and help guide you as well in the process,\u201d she says. We\u2019re thrilled to have Zendaya as part of our 2025 Hollywood Issue<\/a>. Here\u2019s more from her conversation with VF.<\/em><\/p>\n
