Zendaya commands attention as she goes braless in a shimmering gold patterned suit for Louis Vuitton’s Paris Fashion Week show
Zendaya joined the stars to watch Pharrell Williams make his debut as creative director for Louis Vuitton during Paris Fashion Week.
The actress, 26, turned heads as she arrived to the menswear spring/ summer 2024 show on Tuesday night in a shimmering suit from the designer.
Zendaya put on a daring display as she went braless in the oversized collared shirt which was unʙuттoned down to her navel.
The Spiderman star teamed the look with matching trousers, a black Capucine handbag and pointed brown heels.
The screen star made a solo appearance for the show, after she was seen in London this weekend with her boyfriend Tom Holland.

She gave a standing ovation to the musician as he headed out to the crowd after the collection was showcased.
A whole host of stars including Beyonce, Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian turned up to watch Pharrell Williams make his debut as the creative director.
An audience gathered along the Seine River craned to catch a glimpse of the show which continued LV’s approach of mixing street style with luxury.
‘I’m the second Black man to ever experience this on the planet, the biggest fashion house in the world,’ Pharrell said in an interview before the show, referring to his job since February.
The singer and producer, 50, ended months of speculation by filling the shoes of his friend Virgil Abloh who held the job from March 2018 until his death in November 2021.
Abloh had been the industry’s highest profile Black designer, credited with forging a place for street style and loose skateboard looks in high-end fashion.
‘My brother Virgil was the first. He made so many strides for the house, and did so many things. He brought skate culture into this world – while being an American Black man. It’s unreal the fact that I get to do this as well,’ said Pharrell.
LVMH Chairman and Chief Executive Bernard Arnault and his family, whom the star has known for years, have been ‘extremely supportive’ in his new role, he said.
Pharrell was first introduced to the Arnault clan in a collaboration to design sunglᴀsses with Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs in 2004.
The appointment raised eyebrows despite his extensive fashion experience, including founding streetwear brands with Japanese designer Nigo and designing capsule collections at Chanel.
But Pharrell brushed off skeptics who question his lack of formal fashion training. ‘I also didn’t go to Juilliard for music and I’m doing OK,’ he said.
