Zendaya made history at the 72nd Emmy Awards – that took place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles,
and was attended virtually by most celebrities this Sunday – by becoming the youngest drama lead actress to win an Emmy at age 24.
While accepting the award Zendaya said that her “heart was filled” when she saw her fellow nominees cheering her win.
Zendaya was nominated along with Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Colman, Jodie Comer, Laura Linney and Sandra Oh.
The 24-year-old former child star is the second Black woman to win the award, first won by Viola Davis for her role as Annalise Keating, a criminal defence lawyer and professor, in How to Get Away with Murder in 2015.
Zendaya won the award for her role on the show Euphoria where she portrays a teenage drug addict, Rue Bennet, who is trying to sober up and recover from her addictions.
Euphoria delves into the tragic drug-fuelled lifestyles of high schoolers, and revolves around sex, trauma and identity crises.
For her first look, the actor wore a black and purple gown with a plunging neckline from Christopher John Rogers’ Fall Winter 2020 collection.
Her slicked-back hair was fastened into a low bun, and she wore Bulgari’s coloured gemstone high jewellery necklace with diamond studs and a mix of diamond and emerald rings.
She completed her look with black stilettos by Christian Louboutin that had hearts embellished on them.
