Zendaya’s 2016 Style Highlights: From Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week to Life Changes at Home

Just like Jordin Sparks, Zendaya comes from a diverse background, with an African-American father and a mother of German and Scottish descent.

While 2016 marked a tumultuous year personally—her parents quietly ended their eight-year marriage—it also delivered some of Zendaya’s most memorable fashion highlights, including her standout appearances at Paris Fashion Week.

Zendaya’s Head-to-Toe Louis Vuitton Moment at Paris Fashion Week 2016

Back in March 2016, the rising star made waves at Paris Fashion Week when she stepped out in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton for the brand’s Fall/Winter runway show.

On the rainy day outside the venue, cameras swarmed—and in a now-iconic moment, Zendaya was accidentally struck by an umbrella before making her entrance.

The actress and style maven laughed it off effortlessly, even joking about joining the models on the runway, proving early on that she could command attention with both her fashion sense and poise.
