Actress Zendaya poses for her first Valentino campaign.

Italian luxury fashion label Valentino enlists the popular and feisty actress Zendaya as its latest ambassador, and the star is seen in new shots from the fashion house. The 'Euphoria' actress was brought on board the Valentino team by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, and the decision also hints at a new direction for the high-end brand. No stranger to the fashion world, Zendaya, who is also known for her magnetic and eclectic fashion choices, is seen in two official photographs from Valentino, lensed in elegant studio shots. In the first snap Zendaysa is seen wearing a black lace off-shoulder dress styled with a black bag adorned with gold studs. For the other shot, Zendaya is clad in white, a slinky draped feminine creation, paired with an ivory bag, another version of the bag in the previous shot.
