Zendaya Transforms from Poison Ivy to Blooming Debutante in Two Iconic Pumps

Zendaya partied it up at HBO’s Post-Emmy Awards Reception held at The Plaza at the Pacific Design Center in LA on Sunday.

However, instead of slipping into something more comfortable, the 23-year-old actress opted for a full debutante ball gown.

Zendaya’s Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2019 Haute Couture floral strapless dress had layers of folded fabric on the poufy skirt plus a train dragging behind it.

It’s a good thing that Z is 5’10” (178 cm) tall because, otherwise, the whole ensemble would look really weighed down.

The Euphoria star further added height with one of Christian Louboutin‘s most iconic shoes, the ‘Pigalle Plato’ 120-mm pumps.

Before transforming into a blooming debutante, Zendaya was channeling Poison Ivy at the 2019 Emmy Awards in a custom Vera Wang green-satin gown with a corseted bodice and a thigh-high split.

Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach said in a Vogue interview that Z’s look was actually inspired by the Emerald City scene from the 1978 film, The Wiz.

Matching Brian Atwood ‘Cassandra’ pumps, Cartier emerald-drop diamond earrings, and a 1,302-diamond Cartier cuff bracelet completed Z’s sexy-glam look.

The Brian Atwood ‘Cassandra’ pumps are another iconic pair of shoes that are classic celebrity favorites among the likes of Sandra Bullock and Emily Blunt.
