Zendaya Unveils Edgy New Look at Paris Fashion Week, Sparks Villain Role Speculation
In a striking fashion statement, Zendaya showcased a bold transformation with her latest micro bangs during Schiaparelli’s Haute Couture show on January 22, as part of Paris Fashion Week. The acclaimed actor’s distinctive hairstyle, featuring mini bangs above her eyebrows, paired seamlessly with her straight, shoulder-length hair. Adding to the edgy ensemble was Zendaya’s all-black fitted outfit, complete with a protruding tail at the back.
The “Dune” star’s unconventional appearance at the fashion week event drew praise and admiration from fans online, with comments like “Zendaya never misses” and “Mother of fashion aka Zendaya is back” flooding social media platforms. However, some fans are interpreting Zendaya’s new hairstyle as a potential indicator of her readiness to take on a villainous role in a future project.
“Give Zendaya her villain role already,” exclaimed one fan, while another insisted, “Need Zendaya casted as a villain NOW.”
During the event, Zendaya was spotted alongside fellow actors Hunter Schafer, her “Euphoria” co-star, and Jennifer Lopez, creating a buzz among fans. The trio’s presence at the Schiaparelli show was hailed for exuding style and glamour.
Zendaya’s micro bangs are the latest in a series of noteworthy hairstyle changes for the fashion icon. In 2022, she debuted a bob with brown sandy locs, following a lob hairstyle with red hues the previous year. In 2019, she embraced a red look during the press tour for “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” citing it as an homage to the film’s leading lady, MJ.

The Emmy-winning actor has consistently used her platform to address issues related to race and identity. In 2015, Zendaya wore locs to the Academy Awards and responded to a controversial comment about her hair with a powerful defense of natural beauty and against stereotypes.
Despite her journey from a Disney childhood star to an Emmy-winning performer, Zendaya remains on a path of self-discovery. Reflecting on creating the film “Malcolm & Marie” during the pandemic, she expressed how the project helped her reconnect with herself and find fulfillment in her chosen path. Zendaya emphasized, “This is what I’m here for. This is what brings me joy, this is what fulfills me.”
