She Got That Glow: How Zendaya Served Simply Stunning Glamour at the Oscars
We’re going to be honest about something: We don’t really know where Zendaya came from. I mean, we know she’s an Oakland, Calif., native, and a child model-turned-Disney starlet. We know she appeared on Dancing With the Stars before scoring the coveted role of M.J. in the latest installment of the Spider-Man franchise. We even…

BNYFW: Romeo Hunte Turns It Up
Twenty-nine beautiful black models slayed every step of Romeo Hunte’s Fall/Winter 2018 runway. How could they not? The label cuts some of the best outerwear in the business. When you throw shearling jackets, fox-fur chubbies, trenches tiled with fur patchwork, PVC-detailed bombers and reversible raincoats over Black Panther-inspired Speedo wetsuits, finished off with fresh pairs…

The House of Versace: Long May It Reign
The trailer for Ryan Murphy’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, debuting on FX on Wednesday, ironically sparked a flood of gorgeous memories for me about working with Versace. This, despite the fact that the Versace family has issued a press release calling the series—based on Vanity Fair correspondent Maureen Orth’s book Vulgar Favors—“a…

She Got That Glow: Zendaya Is Officially a Black Butterfly
Baby girl. Proving once again that her red-carpet game is ridiculous, Zendaya hit the Australian premiere of her new film, The Greatest Showman (co-starring Hugh Jackman), styled by “image architect” Law Roach into the monarch she is in a stunning Moschino gown.

Zendaya Stars in Bruno Mars’ ‘Versace on the Floor’ Music Video
Seriously, it’s Monday; this weekend has been a total shit when it comes to the news. Let’s just sit and watch Bruno Mars and Zendaya in his new video for “Versace on the Floor.” And here’s my 4-year-old niece’s opinion about the song: We’re more of a Banana Republic kinda household.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Diversity Push Makes No Spidey-Sense
Spider-Man: Homecoming has a lot of heavy lifting to do for one movie. It has to continue the Marvel Cinematic Universe, be a good Spider-Man movie after three straight critical flops and introduce Marvel’s new phase of casting “diversity.” Does it succeed? Not really. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun movie, and a decent continuation of…

Zendaya
Whether singing, acting or clapping back on Twitter, Zendaya always finds a way to use her voice for good. “I have a billion dreams, and I want to use my platform to help people,” she told Vanity Fair. “I’ve been given this power and I have to start conversations that are bigger than myself.” CATEGORY:…

No, Zendaya in Spider-Man: Homecoming Is Not the Progress We’re Looking For
Zendaya Coleman is everything that anybody black, brown or biracial could look for in an admirable tween pop star. She’s talented; her Disney Channel show, K.C. Undercover, is a campy mashup of The Proud Family and The Famous Jett Jackson; and most importantly, Zendaya is unmistakably, irrevocably and proudly black as hell—and don’t you dare…
