Zendaya Keeps The Sheer Dress Trend Alive With Steamy Look Amid Movie Promo
Some things really do have to be seen to be understood.
On April 2, Zendaya showed up at the New York premiere afterparty of her upcoming movie The Drama , co-starring Robert Pattinson , in a sheer blue gown .
Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli , The Drama is a romantic-dark comedy film in which Zendaya and Pattinson’s characters, Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson , meet, fall in love, and get engaged before things take an uglier turn.
The blue dress was a continuation of her ongoing wedding-themed press tour for the movie, set for worldwide release on April 3, 2026 .
“Zendaya doesn’t follow fashion trends, she sets them…every single time,” one user wrote.
As a tribute to the plot of The Drama , Zendaya and her longtime stylist Law Roach decided to base her looks on the age-old saying: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”
The proverb has likely originated in Lancashire, England, during the Victorian era, according to Vogue . People believed that wearing these items would ward off any “evil” and bless the marriage with prosperity.

Many still follow this rule on their wedding day, mostly for fun and for the sake of tradition.
The blue outfit Zendaya wore at the New York premiere afterparty at the Waverly was the second “something blue” of The Drama press tour.
