Zendaya, 28, Causes Heated Debate for Looking ‘Pregnant’ in Green Dress at Recent ‘Dune: Part Two’ Screening – Pics

As usual, Zendaya’s recent attendance at a “Dune: Part Two” screening generated a lot of conjecture online. But this time, because of her “puffy face” and hairstyle, people wondered if she might be pregnant.

Zendaya was present at a special “Dune: Part Two” For Your Consideration showing in New York City on September 21, 2024. Even while her mere appearance was enough to garner notice, her face and a single clothing choice sparked an intense internet discussion.

For the event, Zendaya stepped out in an emerald green Louis Vuitton minidress. The ensemble included gathered fabric, off-the-shoulder details, and a voluminous bubble hemline. Black satin Louis Vuitton heels completed the look. Her choice of shoes threw off the dress’s whimsical design and gave her a stylish yet daring appearance.

Her lacquered waves, worn freely, went well with her ensemble. Online users praised her perfect decisions. But her slightly puffier cheeks and the billowing design of the dress prompted serious conjecture.

Notwithstanding these remarks, some of the queries might be answered by Zendaya’s other evening attire, which she wore for a screening and Q&A earlier in the evening. She’s wearing a stunning Burberry outfit here.

The ensemble featured a sheer maxi skirt with a thigh-high slit worn with a white high-neck jacket. She wore her hair pulled back and finished the look with a glossy lip and coral blush that provided the perfect amount of color.

Upon comparing her two ensembles for the night, one X user said, “If u thought Zendaya was pregnant bc of one poofy dress, I know the teacher used to hand u ur tests face down [sic].”

Furthermore, numerous followers expressed their anger with the pregnancy speculations. “Commenting on a woman’s body is so gross,” a user said.

“Even if Zendaya WAS pregnant, you guys really have no business knowing, and she’ll come clean when the time is right 😭. Could we perhaps stop making snap judgments and focusing only on a woman’s body? Someone else made a post.

Other fans agreed, with one tweeting, “Zendaya literally earlier today,” and another adamantly declaring, “Zendaya is NOT pregnant.” She is not pregnant, and she has plainly voiced her concern with y’all assuming so and creating rumors [sic].”

This event is being held several months after the February 2024 “Dune: Part Two” press tour. Along with co-stars Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet, the actress attended the For Your Consideration screening as part of an effort to keep the movie in the spotlight as awards season got closer.

Since her days as a Disney Channel star, Zendaya has gone through a lot. She is currently a formidable singer and actress who has acted in movies like “The Greatest Showman” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Her portrayal of Chani in “Dune” has solidified her status as one of Hollywood’s top personalities in recent years.

She has collaborated with stylist Law Roach to produce some of the most iconic fashion moments, and she is also renowned for her stunning red carpet appearances. Even though the green dress sparked an unexpectedly intense internet discussion, it proved that Zendaya’s style choices are captivating to people all around the world.

As was previously mentioned, Zendaya is also respected for the unique hairstyles she has adopted over the years. She has frequently embraced natural textures, displaying her curls in a variety of braids, combed-out afros, and whimsical fringe styles with pride.

Her variety, however, goes even beyond; she’s been spotted sporting stylish ponytails, edgy pixie cuts, and chic buns, all of which exude a certain appeal. Her lover, Tom Holland, couldn’t take his eyes off her when she wore braids.

However, it doesn’t end there. Zendaya has also experimented with hair color, expertly switching between traditional brunette and black tones, as well as warmer brown tones and even vivid blonde tones. Her hairstyle changes frequently go well with her clothing.

Her hair journey has been an investigation into adaptability and inventiveness. In addition to displaying her sense of adventure, Zendaya’s openness to experimenting with color also emphasizes her capacity to reinvent herself with each new appearance.

Her appreciation of diversity and representation has been among the most striking features of this self-expression. She has been a strong supporter of natural hair and has challenged conventional notions of beauty by using her platform to inspire people to value their individuality.

Furthermore, on April 6, 2024, during the “Challengers” press tour in Paris, France, Zendaya made her red carpet debut with blonde hair. Later, on April 8, 2024, in Rome, Italy, she wore it half down and half in a ponytail. Though the actress looked stunning in a short dress, internet fans were more drawn to her fair hair.

The majority of people attacked Zendaya for going blonde. One user commented, “Original hair color much better on her.” While acknowledging that Zendaya looked stunning, one person said that her “hair color washes her out.” One person agreed, saying, “Beautiful, but she looks more so with dark hair.”

People said things like, “She looks much better with dark hair.” “The blonde washes her out,” a user concurred. She would look lovely with an auburn or copper hue.” A user cautioned, “She is going to lose that beautiful hair if she keeps bleaching it.”

“Why is Zendaya blonde 😭?” inquired a displeased user. “Having blonde Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Zendaya all at once is overwhelming 🥵,” commented someone who shared similar opinions.

Even while some people might not agree with her daring decisions, Zendaya has an uncanny ability to start conversations and fashion trends. People are always drawn to her public appearances because of this.
