Her Last Red Carpet Appearance Was The 2022 Emmys

The last time Zendaya was on an award ceremony's red carpet was in early 2022 when she attended the 2022 Primetime Emmys. For that event, the "Shake it Up" alumni also looked beautiful in a black strapless dress from Valentino. According to Page Six, Zendaya used Sheika Daley and Abdm Studio for her hair and makeup, although she's known for usually doing her own glam. 

At the 2022 Emmys, the actress won big, collecting the "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series" award for her role as Rue Bennett in "Euphoria." Zendaya's outfit for the event also went viral on social media, with Hailey Bieber calling the look "everything and more" in the comment section of the actress's post. 

Zendaya doesn't just turn heads on the red carpets she attends; she's also been involved in an award ceremony dispute. In 2020, when she received the Emmy award for Best Lead Actress for her "Euphoria" performance, fans went crazy with joy. There was controversy over Zendaya winning the award over other stars like Laura Linney and Jennifer Aniston.
