Zendaya embodied Joan of Arc in an armor-inspired Atelier Versace chainmail gown at the 2018 Met Gala.
Wearing a custom Versace gown, Zendaya’s look featured an armored neck-and-shoulder piece, sparkling chainmail, a spiked belt, and a subtle train
The young fashionista appeared to be channeling Milla Jovovich’s portrayal of the patron saint of France in the 1999 film “The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc” but with Milla’s iconic red bob from “The Fifth Element.”

The American actress totally owned the look and even put on a serious air while posing for the cameras. She stood tall in her army-commanding ensemble in silver Jimmy Choo “Max” platform sandals previously spotted on Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Baldwin.
