Zendaya Shows Off Body In Leopard Bikini, Fan Wonders 'How Can People Like This?'

Zendaya has always been a force in Hollywood, whether on the red carpet, the big screen, or using her platform to inspire confidence and self-expression. The Emmy-winning "Euphoria" star is celebrated not only for her talent but also for her willingness to embrace her individuality. And now, a resurfaced bikini photo shared by a fan account is igniting buzz across social media, with Zendaya's fans fiercely divided over the star’s look.

On August 18, an Instagram fan account shared a striking mirror selfie of Zendaya, labeling it simply with her name alongside dozens of hashtags like #ZendayaStyle, #ZendayaBeauty, and #ZendayaMagic. In the photo, Zendaya poses in a leopard-print bikini while snapping the shot on her phone, her long nails and delicate necklace adding to the bold, confident vibe.

The post quickly gained traction, earning over 4,200 likes in just days and sparking a flood of comments. Admirers praised her for embracing her body and authenticity. One user wrote, “She’s an amazing actress and an awesome person and not ashamed of her body. We need more people like that… Beautiful young lady.” Another filled the comment section with rows of red heart emojis, celebrating her natural beauty.

Still, not everyone was as supportive. Some critics questioned the look, with one commenter asking, “Who in their right mind can say this is a beauty?” Another questioned, "How can people like this?"

Another photo that’s been circulating among fan pages shows Zendaya soaking up the sun in a striking yellow bikini. In the candid shot, she looks down slightly, her toned frame highlighted by the vibrant swimwear against a lush tropical backdrop. The minimal jewelry and natural setting give the image an effortlessly chic feel, showcasing her confidence and natural beauty.

This image connects seamlessly with Zendaya’s own words about body image and self-love. In a 2016 interview with the "TODAY Show," the actress emphasized the importance of embracing individuality and rejecting unrealistic beauty standards. “If there’s any definition to being perfect, you’re perfect at being yourself,” she said. “There is no such thing as ugly.”

A third bikini snapshot shows Zendaya poolside, exuding carefree energy as she flips her hair back in the sun. Wearing a bronze-toned bikini, she appears relaxed and radiant, with the ocean peeking through in the background. The candid nature of the photo captures her playful side, giving fans a glimpse of the star simply enjoying the moment.

Zendaya’s confidence in such images aligns with sentiments she shared years ago about self-love and authenticity. In a 2015 interview with Modeliste Magazine, the actress reflected on how she built her self-esteem at a young age. “I was made fun of but didn’t bother me very much because I was very comfortable in who I was,” she explained, per "TODAY." “I was taught as a young child by my parents and family to love myself.”

Even with the pressures of Hollywood, Zendaya stressed that her focus remains on her values, telling the magazine, “I just focus on being a good person.”

Another fan-favorite snapshot shows Zendaya striking a chic pose on the beach in a structured white one-piece swimsuit. The design features bold cutouts along the waist and metallic embellishments that add a touch of glamour, perfectly complementing her effortless confidence. With her hair styled in soft waves and the ocean stretching out in the background, the photo captures her natural beauty.

Zendaya proved once again why she’s considered a style chameleon in a striking photo shared by another fan account on January 10.

The actress stuns in a deep navy one-piece swimsuit paired with a colorful patterned headscarf, gold jewelry, and strappy heels. Draping a crisp white shirt off her shoulders, she gives the look an effortless yet high-fashion edge.
