Zendaya wearing Zimmermann FW26 lace gown on The Tonight Show

Zendaya knows how to make a late-night appearance feel like a full fashion moment, and her latest stop at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon proved exactly that. Standing alongside her co-star, she leaned into a darker, more sultry aesthetic that felt polished without trying too hard.

She wore the Zimmermann FW26 Valiant Lingerie Gown, and it’s one of those pieces that instantly draws your attention. The dress came in a deep navy tone, built with sheer lace panels that created a layered, almost corset-like structure through the bodice. It hugged just enough through the waist before loosening into a flowing skirt, finished with soft fringe detailing that added movement with every step.

Up top, the high neckline and long lace sleeves balanced out the sheerness, keeping the look elegant rather than overly revealing. It had that signature Zimmermann mix, romantic but with a slightly undone edge.

What really worked here was how she styled it. Zendaya kept the accessories minimal but sharp. On her wrist, she wore a Rolex Lady-Datejust, adding a subtle flash of polish without distracting from the dress. Down below, she paired the look with classic Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps in smooth nappa leather, which grounded the outfit and kept the silhouette clean.

Her hair was styled short and softly waved, framing her face and letting the texture of the dress stand out. Makeup stayed fresh with a soft glow, nothing too heavy, just enough to complement the deeper tones of the gown.

Next to her co-star’s relaxed blazer-and-denim combo, the contrast made her look stand out even more. It didn’t feel overdone though. Just confident, considered, and very much her style.

It’s another reminder that Zendaya doesn’t just show up for appearances. She builds a look, and every detail has a reason.
