Zendaya

Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman ( zen-DAY-ə; born September 1, 1996) is an American actress and singer. Her accolades include two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award, and in 2022 Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her films as a leading actress have grossed over $3.9 billion worldwide.

Zendaya made her feature film debut as Michelle in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). She reprised her role in its sequels Far From Home (2019), No Way Home (2021), and Brand New Day (2026). She has also starred in blockbusters such as The Greatest Showman (2017) and Denis Villeneuve's Dune films (2021–2026), and earned praise for her performances in the romantic films Malcolm & Marie (2021), Challengers (2024), and The Drama (2026).

In September 2018, Zendaya voiced the yeti Meechee in the Warner Bros. animated film Smallfoot, which was met with generally positive reviews from critics and highlighted for its engaging musical numbers. In 2019, she began starring in the HBO drama series Euphoria, an adaptation of the Israeli show of the same name, playing Rue Bennett, a 17-year-old drug addict who also narrates the series. The show premiered on June 16, 2019, to generally favorable reception. The Guardian wrote, "Zendaya is reinvented as the self-destructive, self-loathing Rue, in what is a truly astonishing, mesmerising performance, upending every expectation of what she could do"; in The New Yorker, Doreen St. Félix wrote, "it becomes difficult, and then absolutely silly, to recall the pink outlines of her early career on the Disney Channel, so grandly does she inhabit this dark new role".

In October 2018, Zendaya became an ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger and co-designed the Tommy x Zendaya capsule collections, drawing inspiration from the 1970s and its "strong, iconic women". Her Paris and New York Fashion Week shows were acclaimed for their celebration of diversity and inclusivity, featuring women of color, plus-size models, and models up to seventy years old as a tribute to pioneering figures in fashion. Zendaya became a spokesmodel for Lancôme in 2019, followed by Bulgari and Valentino in 2020. In June 2022, she was named the global brand ambassador for Glaceau Smartwater, and in 2023, she became an ambassador for Louis Vuitton. Zendaya has been the face of shoewear company On since 2024. She became an ambassador for Rolex in October 2025.
