“GLSEN is honored to recognize Zendaya with the Gamechanger Award for her commitment to social justice,” Eliza Byard, executive director of the organization, said in a statement. “This award was created to spotlight the next generation of leaders, and Zendaya, unafraid to raise her voice on a host of issues affecting LGBTQ students and other marginalized communities, clearly exemplifies that leadership.”

For the ceremony, Zendaya donned a Spring 2018 Calvin Klein 205W39NYC look consisting of a sleeveless orange blouse and a grey skirt.
She completed the outfit with her hair styled into side-swept waves, cheap-looking fuchsia-colored heels that looked like they were made with duct tape, and a variety of silver jewelry. Her ensemble was styled by Law Roach, who is also the co-creator of Daya by Zendaya.
