Zendaya Reveals Why She Was 'Paranoid' Rewearing This Cate Blanchett Gown on “The Drama ”Press Tour

Zendaya shared what made her nervous about wearing Cate Blanchett's gown to The Drama premiere in Rome

NEED TO KNOW

• The actress is leaning into a wedding-inspired wardrobe for her new movie's press tour and wore a look previously seen on Blanchett at the 2025 Venice Film Festival

• Promotion for The Drama also comes amid speculation that Zendaya and Tom Holland secretly tied the knot following their 2024 engagement

Zendayais revealing what really went through her mind when she stepped out in an iconic rewear to promote her new film.

For the past couple of weeks, the actress, 29, has been on a bridal kick onThe Dramapress tour, having come up with the concept of wearing something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, inspired by the classic wedding tradition.

For the something borrowed element, executed at the movie's Rome premiere, her stylist, Law Roach,dressed her in a Giorgio Armani gownoriginally worn byCate Blanchett(the queen of outfit recycling) at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.

It was a "dream come true" for Zendaya, who also admitted that the loan came with high stakes.

“I thought it was such a kind thing to share. I was very paranoid about spilling [anything on] or breaking or doing anything wrong to the dress," she said during her appearance onThe Tonight Show.

The Emmy winner said that Blanchett was "one of the first people I thought of" because of how great the ensemble was. When she first saw it, she thought, "I wish I could wear that dress. What a dress.”

Zendaya has had a few "what a dress" moments on this press run. She's worn a white Vivienne Westwood dress first seen on her at the2015 Academy Awards(her "something old"), acustom Louis Vuitton number(her "something new") and an indigo blue Zimmerman lace dress (which is not her "something blue," per Roach, but what we can only assume is a lead-in to theactual"something blue").

It's not just the dresses that have sparked buzz, though. Zendaya has also been seen wearing whatappears to be a wedding band, along with her engagement ring, on various outings following Roach's admission that she and Tom Hollandsecretly tied the knotduring an interview at the2026 Actor Awards.

The supposed bridehas neither confirmed nor deniedher speculated marriage to Holland.

“I just feel like for me there is a level of a parasocial investment in my personal relationship, which I understand,” she said onThe New York Times’Modern Lovepodcast. “I’m aware that I'm a public person and so is he, and I’m also aware that we’ve grown up in front of people and we’ve done movies where we fall in love with each other, so I really do understand that, and I don’t want to dismiss that like, ‘Stay out of my business’ or whatever.”

"In a lot of ways, I’m also a very private person and I try my best to be able to have things for myself and for him as well," she said, continuing with her outlook on wanting to balance privacy with public celebration. "I just try to find the balance in the middle there."
