Zendaya wears vintage Eugene Alexander dress at Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards

Actress Zendaya attended the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards wearing a vintage white micro minidress designed by Eugene Stutzman of the brand Eugene Alexander. The dress, which features off-the-shoulder styling and 3D floral appliqués with gold details, was originally created in the 1980s. It was first worn by Whitney Houston in 1987 and later became iconic after being featured in the 2008 film Sex and the City, where it was worn by the character Carrie Bradshaw. Zendaya styled the outfit with white Christian Louboutin pumps and Cartier jewelry. This appearance follows a recent Louis Vuitton event in Paris where the actress also wore white, sparking public speculation regarding her personal life. The look was noted by media outlets for its homage to fashion history. The event served as a showcase for vintage couture on the red carpet.
