Before anything else, we first need to talk about Zendaya’s shorts.

They’re micro shorts but still have lots of pocket space thanks to the exterior patch pockets. And they’re literally an inverted take on the pockets-hanging-out-of-shorts look, which has also turned the sloppy style into something that looks totally new.

Zendaya’s fashion choices often feature stylish shorts that showcase her unique style. At the 2014 Kids’ Choice Awards, she combined denim cutoff shorts with a Chanel top and boots, creating a chic ensemble.

Zendaya’s bold choice of micro shorts at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards reflects a trend embraced by other celebrities. Emma Roberts, for instance, paired micro-mini denim shorts with over-the-knee socks and platform sandals, creating a fashion-forward look.

Similarly, Taylor Swift has been spotted in high-waisted shorts, showcasing her chic summer style. These instances highlight the versatility and appeal of micro shorts among fashion-forward individuals.

Z topped off her ensemble with a long fishtail braid that showed hints of the red dye job she sported a little over a month ago.

On her feet were her trusty white Le Silla pumps. Z is a big fan of white pumps and also alternates between white Christian Louboutin ‘So Kates’ and white-python Casadei ‘Blade’ pumps.
