The Oakland, California native wore a long denim coat with a print shirt and jeggings as well as sneakers.

Cat-eyed prescription glᴀsses added a nerdy but Sєxy librarian look to the KC Undercover star.

The star seemed to be eating a pastry that came in a small bag as her male friend, in jeans, a black shirt and a Louis Vuitton backpack, did the same.

The two were seen strolling a midtown street as a man in a black suit and tie with an earpiece followed them.

Earlier this week, Zendaya talked to Glamour about how hard she has worked.

At 13 she told her parents: ‘”I want to do this,” and my dad quit his job as a teacher to make it happen. My mom stayed in Oakland because she had two jobs: teaching, and working at the California Shakespeare Theater at night. Those two jobs paid for all of our car trips back and forth for the year I was auditioning. Luckily I had parents who were like, “You know what? We believe in you.”

‘I got my first job on the Disney Channel when I was 13, and it was just me and my dad in an apartment in downtown L.A. It was very difficult because I was dealing with all the pivotal girl moments. I remember getting my period and him not knowing what to do. It was a weird transitional phase.’

And she had to be tutored.

‘I remember doing Dancing With the Stars and literally falling asleep reading a book. I’d never been so tired in my life—there’s no off time. But she stuck with me and made sure I got what I needed.’

Also in the issue the cover girl talked having good role models. Her mother Claire, who is a teacher, was her top one, but plenty of celebrities followed.

‘I have an obsession with Oprah,’ said the beauty who also named Beyonce, Shonda Rhimes and Michelle Obama.
