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

The night began with Zendaya stepping out in an emerald green Louis Vuitton minidress. The outfit featured off-the-shoulder detailing, gathered fabric, and a voluminous bubble hemline, paired with black satin Louis Vuitton pumps. Her footwear choice balanced out the dress’s playful silhouette, making her look chic and bold.

Her hair was styled loosely in lacquered waves, which complemented the outfit. Netizens noted her flawless choices. However, the dress’s billowing shape and her slightly puffier face were far different from her usual slimmer figure.

This sparked serious speculation. Upon seeing the photos, fans took to social media with their opinions and questions. One Instagram user commented, “She’s gorgeous, but her face looks different as if she was pregnant 😮.”

Another follower agreed and replied, “That’s what I was saying, she does look a little puffy in the face [sic].” Other comments like “Zendaya pregnant ??👀 [sic]” and “Oh Zendaya is pregnant lol [sic]” quickly started circulating on X.

Someone else added, “Streets saying Zendaya pregnant omg [sic],” while another commented, “Zendaya pregnant? I just fell to my knees [sic].” “She looks amazing, but her face is very different, like a pregnant woman face,” expressed another netizen.

Despite these comments, Zendaya’s second outfit of the night, worn for a second Q&A session and screening, seemed to squash some of the questions. Here, she can be seen in a sleek Burberry ensemble.

The look consisted of a white high-neck jacket paired with a sheer slit maxi skirt, giving her a more refined and polished appearance. Her hair was slicked back, just as earlier. What’s more, she completed the look with a coral blush and a glossy lip that added just the right pop of color.

Upon comparing these two pictures of the night, one X user remarked, “If u thought Zendaya was pregnant because of one poofy dress, I know the teacher used to hand u ur tests face down [sic].”

Furthermore, several fans expressed their frustration with the pregnancy rumors. A user wrote, “Making a comment about a woman’s body is so gross.“

“Even if Zendaya WAS pregnant, it’s really none of y’all’s business, and she’ll reveal it when she wants to 😭. Can we stop jumping to conclusions and putting our whole focus on a woman’s body [sic]?” another user posted.

Others echoed this sentiment, with one fan stating firmly, “Zendaya is NOT pregnant,” while another tweeted, “Zendaya literally earlier today. She is not pregnant, and she has clearly expressed her discomfort with y’all assuming so and spreading rumors [sic].“

The timing of this event comes months after the original “Dune: Part Two” press tour, which took place in February 2024. The actress’ attendance at the For Your Consideration screening alongside co-stars Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet was part of a campaign to keep the film in the spotlight as awards season approaches.

Zendaya has come a long way since her days as a Disney Channel star. Now a powerhouse actress and singer, she has appeared in films such as “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “The Greatest Showman.” In recent years, her role as Chani in “Dune” has further cemented her as one of Hollywood’s biggest names.

She is also known for spectacular red carpet looks and has worked with stylist Law Roach to create some of the most memorable fashion moments. Although the green dress led to an unexpected and heated online debate, it showed that Zendaya’s fashion choices captivate audiences everywhere.

As reported previously, Zendaya is also admired for the distinctive ways she has styled her hair over the years. She has often embraced natural textures, proudly showcasing her curls in various styles such as braids, combed-out afros, and playful fringes.

Yet, her versatility extends further; she’s been seen rocking her hair in chic buns, elegant ponytails, and edgy pixie cuts, each style exuding its unique charm. When she had braids, her boyfriend, Tom Holland, couldn’t keep his eyes off her.

But it doesn’t stop there. Zendaya has also dabbled in the world of hair color, seamlessly transitioning from classic black and rich brunette to warmer shades of brown and even striking blonde hues. Her hair transformations often complement her dress style.

Her journey with hair has been an exploration of creativity and versatility. Zendaya’s willingness to explore different colors not only showcases her adventurous spirit but also highlights her ability to reinvent herself with every new look.

One of the most memorable aspects of this self-expression has been her celebration of diversity and representation. She’s been a vocal advocate for natural hair and has used her platform to challenge beauty standards, encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness.

Additionally, Zendaya debuted blonde hair on the red carpet earlier this year during the “Challengers” press tour in Paris, France on April 6, 2024. Later, she wore it partly in a ponytail and half down in Rome, Italy on April 8, 2024. The actress looked splendid in a short dress, but online users focused on her blonde hair.

Most users criticized Zendaya for going blonde. “Original hair color much better on her,” said one user. Another user admitted that Zendaya looked beautiful, but that the “hair color washes her out.” “Beautiful- but she looks more so with dark hair,” an individual concurred.

Other people commented, “She looks much better with dark hair.” A user agreed, “The blonde washes her out. She would look nice with a copper/ auburn color.” One user warned, “She is going to lose that beautiful hair if she keeps bleaching it.”

“Why is Zendaya blonde 😭?,” a frustrated user asked. A person with similar views noted, “Having blonde Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Zendaya all at once is overwhelming 🥵.”

As shown, some may not be fans of her bold choices, but Zendaya’s ability to spark conversation and ignite trends is undeniable. That’s why people can’t stop noticing her at these types of events.
