Zendaya is never not having a year full of fashion moments that most people only dream about, and if the 25-year-old multi-hyphenate only gets better with time, then 2021 can be expected to have been her best year yet — and it was. The star's film workload was heavy this year as she starred in three new major films (Malcom & Marie, Dune, and Spider-Man: No Way Home), meaning she and stylist Law Roach are closing the year out with a laundry list of looks under their belts. By this point, fans know what to expect from the queen of appreciated consistency: First, sleek and slender silhouettes (think: the off-the-runway burgundy Alaïa dress the former Disney Channel star wore during the Dune press tour, or the internet-breaking vintage Roberto Cavalli gown with gold skeleton back details she wore to the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris). Then, a sartorial commitment to character (the actor donned a Vivienne Westwood chain top during the Dune press tour that felt reminiscent of the movie's apocalyptic theme, and she recently donned a custom lace spiderweb gown by Valentino for the Spider-Man: No Way Home premiere). While often named as the star of any red carpet, the Euphoria star finally received her flowers this year, winning CFDA's 2021 Fashion Icon Award.
