At the film’s \ufeffNew York Premiere today, the actress wore a striking gown as her “something blue.”<\/p>\n

The movie revolves around a wedding, with her stylist, Law Roach, dressing her in something old, something new,<\/a> something borrowed and something blue across several premieres.<\/p>\n

She’s also been spotted wearing a wedding band at every premiere, fuelling rumours that she and Tom Holland were secretly married. \ufeff<\/p>\n

It’s important to note that The Drama is about a couple getting married, so the whole ring thing could be Zendaya leaning into the role.<\/p>\n

Zendaya and Holland fell in love after starring as on-screen couple Peter Parker and MJ in Marvel’s Spider-Man\ufeff franchise.<\/p>\n

\ufeffOver the years, the couple have tended to keep their relationship out of the limelight, with Holland \ufeffpreviously opening up on Jay Shetty’s podcast about why the pair are private with their romance.<\/p>\n

“My relationship is the thing I keep most sacred,” Holland told the host.<\/p>\n

“I don’t talk about it.”<\/p>\n

The Uncharted actor added that he tries his best to keep his relationship with Zendaya “as private as possible”.\ufeff<\/p>\n

“We both feel like that is the healthiest way for us to move on as a couple, so I do try to keep as removed from Hollywood as possible,” Holland shared.<\/p>\n

Holland and Zendaya have become one of the most beloved couples in Hollywood in recent years.<\/p>\n
