With outfits from the recent “Dune” promotional tour going viral on social media, the former Disney star has proven herself a sartorial force to be reckoned with – and in doing so has caught the attention of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
This Wednesday, she will become the youngest ever recipient of the organization’s prestigious Fashion Icon award. Describing her as the red carpet’s “reigning monarch,” the CFDA announced the news ahead of its annual award ceremony, saying that, “without exception,” Zendaya “makes a style statement as soon as she steps out of her car.”
