Zendaya made a surprise appearance at the Oscars 2026 in a brown Louis Vuitton gown with a leg-baring high slit. The “Dune” star was neither a nominee at the annual award ceremony this year nor an announced presenter. However, she joined her “The Drama” co-star, Robert Pattinson, on the stage to present the award for Best Director.
Zendaya stuns in high slit Louis Vuitton gown for Oscars 2026 appearance
Zendaya’s floor-length dress featured a dramatic asymmetrical neckline. Designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere, the dress wrapped elegantly across one shoulder, creating a sculptural effect across the bodice. The rich brown shade gave a modern twist to classic eveningwear, offering a deep, luxurious tone. The silhouette hugged her figure closely before cascading down into a flowing skirt with a subtle train trailing behind her.
The real showstopper of her look was the daring slit. Rising dramatically up one leg, the dangerously high cut revealed a glimpse of her toned leg and added an unmistakable element of drama. The slit also allowed the gown to flow elegantly with every step. Further, the dress featured strategic draping around the waist and hips, creating soft folds in the fabric and enhancing the gown’s sculpted silhouette. The gathered details highlighted the actress’s waist while adding depth and texture to the otherwise minimalist design.
Styled by Law Roach, Zendaya’s accessories added the right amount of sparkle to her look with CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel’s latest White Label Collection Diamond Branch Earrings and Ring. The earrings featured 84 pear-shaped diamonds totalling 30.22 carats. She also appeared to be wearing her alleged wedding ring stack. Further, she wore a diamond-encrusted Rolex watch.
The “Euphoria” star’s pixie cut was styled in a silky, side-parted style, courtesy of hairstylist Ursula Stephen, who used Tangle Teezer products. Zendaya completed her look with sleek pointed-toe heels in a matching brown shade. Meanwhile, her glam look featured softly defined eyes, warm bronzed tones, and dark lips.
