She's a fashion tour de force, an Emmy winner, a Disney Channel darling turned capital-M Movie Star—and Zendaya just getting started. In honor of The Challengers—the first feature film where the actress is billed in the leading role—Marie Claire is dedicating a week of content to all things Zendaya.

It's an understatement to declare Zendaya just a fashion icon. The actress has solidified her status as one of Hollywood's most watched and sartorially iconic, partly thanks to her longtime partnership with her stylist—slash image architect—Law Roach, who has reportedly dressed the actress since she was just 14 years old.

A decade later, Zendaya has made the world her runway— especially lately, in archival and custom-made pieces from Mugler and JW Anderson's Loewe worn throughout her whirlwind Dune: Part Two press tour and Challengers photocalls. To honor the style legend, Marie Claire chronicles a comprehensive list of Zendaya's best outfits, from her most recent custom Thom Browne court-inspired looks to head-to-toe pajama dressing from Fendi's 2019 collections.
