The 18-year-old K.C. Undercover actress wore a black-and-white floral-print crop top and matching skirt from Nha Khanh’s Spring 2015 collection, layered with a sleek Sandro Veinarde leather jacket.
She kept her beauty look refreshingly natural, letting her youthful glow take center stage without heavy makeup.
Zendaya adds a playful touch to the red carpet with a fierce wink and bold red lipstick
She completed the outfit with pointy-toe Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps. Launched in 2013 and named after supermodel Kate Moss—a longtime muse and close friend of Christian Louboutin—the So Kate features a sleek, high-stiletto silhouette. Various versions of this iconic pump are available at retailers like Nordstrom and Mytheresa.
Designed as a tribute to her edgy yet sophisticated aesthetic, the shoe refines the curves of the classic Pigalle pump with a longer pointed toe and thinner, higher stiletto heel. The result is a sleeker silhouette that quickly became a red carpet favorite.
