In 2019 Zendaya had a guest spot on the TV drama The O.A. and took on the lead role of Rue Bennett, a high-school student battling anxiety and drug addiction in the HBO series Euphoria. Lauded for her “haunting, painful, and affecting performance” in Euphoria, she received two Primetime Emmy Awards (2020, 2022) for outstanding lead actress in a drama series. Both wins were historic.

In addition to acting, dancing, and singing, Zendaya was also known for her interest in fashion. She often turned heads at red-carpet events with her bold, playful looks, including at the 2015 Academy Awards ceremony, where she appeared in an elegant off-the-shoulder ivory gown with her hair in dreadlocks. After a commentator made questionable remarks about the hairstyle, Zendaya addressed the inherent racism the next day on Instagram. She stated: “There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful.…There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society.…My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light.” The commentator apologized, and Mattel soon created a Barbie doll modeled after Zendaya’s red-carpet look. In 2016 Zendaya launched a fashion line called Daya. She then collaborated with American designer Tommy Hilfiger on Tommy x Zendaya, which debuted in 2019. That year the collection won acclaim for its fall show in New York, which featured all Black models ranging in age from 18 to 70 and included such veterans as Pat Cleveland, Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, and Grace Jones.
