\n\tAs a certified red carpet icon with access to all sorts of designer collections, Zendaya<\/a> has commanded attention from photo calls to premieres.

\n\tZendaya is known for almost exclusively wearing Christian Louboutin<\/a>\u2018s soaring So Kate pumps, and more recently stepping out in the Parisian label\u2019s Miss Z pump.

\n\tZendaya and Roach often take a theme and incorporate it into a look in obvious or subtle ways. At the Los Angeles premiere of \u201cSpider-Man:: Brand New Day,\u201d the star made a major statement in a black satin Ashi Studio couture gown with an avant-garde voluminous structure featuring intricate pleating. The all-black look was completed with custom Miss Z pumps<\/a> from Louboutin, carrying the arachnid theme down to her feet with a mesh spider-web design and 3D spider adornments.<\/p>\n

\n\tTaking inspiration from ancient Greek fashion, Zendaya and Roach also explored the reemerging gladiator shoe trend for \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d press run. For one of her most striking shoe looks of the year, Zendaya stepped out in New York City wearing archival fall 2014 Sophia Webster<\/a> gladiator sandals with an Alberta Ferretti spring 2008 minidress.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe dress featured elegant draped chain detailing, while the shoes featured an intricate knotted strap design along the foot and leg, forming a knee-high shaft. The stiletto sandal was actually sent to Roach by a longtime Sophia Webster brand fan<\/a> after the footwear designer turned to her Instagram followers to try to track down the archival style for Zendaya.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith her star power, Zendaya helped to cement the comeback of gladiator sandals, which other celebrities had been embracing, too.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of Zendaya\u2019s most talked-about looks this year has been her vintage Spider-Man T-shirt, which Roach sourced from eBay for $34.99, as he revealed via social media. The black and red T, which the actress wore as a minidress sans pants, showcased the superhero in one of his signature poses.<\/p>\n

\n\tAgainst the casual T-shirt, her Christian Louboutin Miss Z pumps<\/a> stood out all the more as a formal contrast. She went with a white patent leather version, a shining juxtaposition to her shirt.<\/p>\n
