Here are five times that the Roach-Zendaya magic didn’t deliver.
(She was 17 at the time.)
The voluminous, elbow-length sleeves swallowed her slim frame, while the neckline was uninspired.
And let’s not forget the Tabitha Simmons shoes.
The shade doesn’t match the dress closely enough, but it wasn’t a big enough contrast either.
Something kind of close becomes distracting if it’s on a fuller shoe, like a bootie.
On a strappy sandal, it would’ve been less noticeable.
Even the shoes are chic if judging them independent from the outfit.
It’s simply the dress that lets the look down.
In something more age-appropriate and figure flattering, this would’ve been a winner.
And she’s right.
But what’s somewhat more troubling than the hat, is the actual outfit itself.
(She’s a self-avowed Potter fan.)
Yet, while the play was a hit, her outfit was not.
For starters, the proportions didn’t work.
It’s simply not balanced.
Unfortunately, it simply looks sloppy when paired with casual jeans and a white T-shirt.
And finally, her glasses.
In 2015, Zendaya told her followers onX, formerly known as Twitter, that she needed glasses.
Since then she switches between glasses and contacts, though she rarely makes appearances in the former.
She explained, “The metal conducts and holds onto heat very quickly and traps heat in.”
That puts a whole new spin on suffering for fashion.
Other than the buttoned-up polo top, the tennis theme was lost with this ensemble.
It all feels too sickly sweet and not on theme at all.
