\n EDITOR\u2019S NOTE:\u00a0 Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, \u2018Look of the Week\u2019<\/a> is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days.\n<\/p>\n

\n \ufeffSomething old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. So goes the Victorian-era English rhyme that has long served as a sartorial checklist for bridal fortunes.\n <\/p>\n

\n With rumors swirling around her own nuptials to Tom Holland, and a promotional tour for her wedding-centered new movie \u201cThe Drama\u201d underway, it\u2019s three down and one to go for Zendaya.\n <\/p>\n

\"Zendaya's<\/p>\n

\"Her<\/p>\n

\n At the black comedy\u2019s LA premiere last Tuesday, the star opted for something old (ish): a white Vivienne Westwood gown that she had worn to her first Oscars in 2015. Then, promoting the movie in Paris a week later, it was something new: a silk crepe dress \u2014 also white, with a long, black bow-slash-train \u2014 custom-designed for her by Louis Vuitton.\n <\/p>\n

\n At that point, however, it might just have just been a coincidence (although some fans called it early<\/a>). Was Zendaya simply using bridalwear-inspired looks to mirror her new movie\u2019s plot, which sees her and Robert Pattinson play a couple whose wedding plans are disrupted in macabre fashion? Or perhaps she was toying with us over her rumored real-life marriage, which she is yet to confirm, despite her stylist Law Roach claiming at this month\u2019s Actor Awards that she already wed Holland in secret<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\"Zendaya<\/p>\n

\n Well, yes, probably both of those things. But on Thursday, Zendaya confirmed that this is not just run-of-the-mill thematic method dressing.\n <\/p>\n

\n The plunging Armani Priv\u00e9 gown Zendaya wore to the movie\u2019s Rome premiere has made several high-profile appearances before, most recently at last year\u2019s Venice Film Festival. But those outings were all on the back of Cate Blanchett, not Zendaya. And while the details of any loan agreement with the two-time Oscar winner (or indeed Armani) is not yet known, the silk column gown surely constitutes something borrowed.\n <\/p>\n

\n While Zendaya and Roach are clearly spreading the four-part superstition across multiple looks, brides have often incorporated the old, new, borrowed and blue into a single wedding day outfit. It\u2019s a tradition that has been followed by brides for over a century, among them British royals including Princesses Diana and Catherine. Meghan Markle meanwhile told ITV<\/a> that her \u201csomething blue\u201d was blue fabric, taken from the dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry and stitched into her gown.\n <\/p>\n

\n With another week to go until \u201cThe Drama\u201d hits theaters, there\u2019s still time for Zendaya\u2019s something blue. And bonus points for fulfilling a later addition to the rhyme: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe. Over to you, Zendaya.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EDITOR\u2019S NOTE:\u00a0 Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, \u2018Look of the Week\u2019 is a regular series…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":568335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":{"0":"post-568334","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
