Fans Think Zendaya Is ‘Giving Bond’ In A Slinky Black One-Shouldered Dress For Her First Campaign With Louis Vuitton
April 30, 2023 by Maria Pierides
Zendaya is officially Louis Vuitton’s newest house ambassador, and we can’t stop thinking about the stunning black one-shouldered midi dress she is wearing in one of the campaign shots and videos!
The 26-year-old Emmy-winning actress has become the face of the French fashion house’s iconic Capucines bag, which launched ten years ago. It was named after the Paris street where Louis Vuitton opened his first store way back in 1854; and Zendaya seems like the perfect – nay, the only – person worthy of modelling such an iconic collection on its tenth anniversary!
The Euphoria star‘s campaign was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and styled by Law Roach. It was shot at E-1027 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, a house designed by Modernist architect and designer, Eileen Gray. And some of the looks she is serving in the ad campaign images and videos are taking our breath away!
Louis Vuitton shared many pictures and videos of Zendaya’s campaign on Instagram – as well as a few behind-the-scenes videos too. On April 21st, it captioned one video, which features perhaps our favorite look of all: “#Zendaya and the Capucines. Personifying the dreamy energy of the Côte d’Azur, the new #LouisVuitton House Ambassador brings a playful vibrancy to the #LVCapucines collection. Explore the latest creations via link in bio.”
In the video, Zendaya is posing up a storm in a stunning figure-hugging black one-shouldered midi dress, which features a bold, exposed zip on one side. And she looks just as good in the black midi dress in the still image too, which was also shared with the brand’s 52.7M Instagram followers that same day.
As expected, the comments section for every single campaign image and video erupted with praise! “She’s stunning!” exclaimed one fan. “Love the bag… but let’s talk about that dress! Super cute,” added another fan, who seems to be just as obsessed with the dress as we are! “Her movements are so fluid and graceful, she’s like water,” commented another, adding, “Her beauty is awe inspiring, God’s definitely got favourites.”
“Zendaya ate, she looks so good,” praised one fan, while another called her “so gorgeous” and another said she was “one of the most beautiful women in the world.” Another said she was “flawless,” followed by a fire emoji. “This is definitely one of Zendaya’s best looks, it’s going to go down in the fashion history books,” wrote another fan. “Baby girl rarely misses,” one fan wrote, followed by a fire emoji, which one fan replied to in order to correct them, adding, “She actually never does.” We have to agree! “She stuns in everything she does or promotes… perfection everytime!” added another fan.
“Being a great model is having the ability to make the most of a campaign with little to no imagination or creative direction. Zendaya ate this,” said one Twitter user, alongside a video of her wearing a short black dress. In a separate tweet, alongside a still image of Zendaya in the white dress and clutching the white Capucines bag, the same user added: “Oh Zendaya is giving Bond Girl here. The brows! And the smize! Charlie’s angels c’mon.” Zendaya as a Bond girl… now there’s a thought!
“I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again…a lot of ppl should be lucky Zendaya isn’t a professional model,” another fan wrote, while someone else tweeted: “Fire all models, hire Zendaya instead.”
