In October, Holland made headlines when he stepped in to protect Zendaya from aggressive photographers during an outing in New York City. As paparazzi crowded the actress, Holland pulled her to safety, creating a physical barrier between her and the mob.
Last night, Zendaya returned the support by attending the launch of Holland’s new non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero, in New York City.
The couple turned heads in coordinating ensembles, with Zendaya dazzling in a deep red, skin-tight leather Louis Vuitton dress featuring a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit. She paired the look with matching Christian Louboutin heels and a delicate Bulgari necklace. Holland complemented her effortlessly, wearing a wine-colored tee with black pants and white Prada sneakers, showcasing the duo’s signature chic style.
"Get out of the f-cking way," Holland was heard saying as he pushed through the aggressive crowd of paparazzi. Zendaya, who was signing autographs, appeared to calmly reassure him, saying, "No, no, it's okay, Tom." Despite her words, Holland protectively grabbed Zendaya's arm, guiding her through the swarm as they made their way out of the chaotic scene.
