The ever-so-fashionable Zendaya just graced the latest cover of Time Magazine (in style of course) and was dubbed one of the “100 most influential people of 2022.” From her incredible performance in Euphoria to her killer red carpet ensembles, we couldn’t agree more, and are still in awe of one dress she donned for the Time photo shoot.

The Dune actress, 25, shared one of the looks from the shoot with her 144 million Instagram followers last week— a long-sleeved, shiny, dark blue dress that featured an epic high slit that drew attention to her long, toned legs. The Spider-Man: No Way Home star paired this stunning item with classic black heeled pumps and wore her long brown hair down and parted in the middle. Zendaya’s tresses were glamorously slicked back and styled into an intricate, pinned-back, braided look that highlighted her gorgeous facial features.

The Emmy winner’s gown, specifically the ‘Satin Bias Tab Dress With Slit’ was designed by LaPointe and derived from the New York-based label’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection. Zendaya uploaded a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot to her IG, in which she can be seen elegantly posing and feeling herself in the show-stopping indigo garment.

As for the cover, Zendaya wore several Valentino Haute Couture pieces, including a red faille cape with matching wool candy and silk bra and trousers. In her post caption regarding the cover, Zendaya wrote, “A great honor. Thank you @TIME for this acknowledgement.” She then went on to thank Denis Villeneuve (who she worked with as the director of Dune and who wrote the cover story) for his “kind” words. “This means the world to me,” she concluded.

Fans continue to share images of Zendaya from the shoot and many have expressed that they “can’t pick a favorite look” since she looks “beautiful in all of them,” as one wrote. Sally LaPointe herself (who designed that first blue dress we love) commented on Zendaya’s post, “You look so FIRE in my dress!!!!! I adore this!!!” and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
